A Cafe to talk about death (and grief) with strangers has been opened in London: what do you think? The more (talking) the better?
"Death Café, in Hackney, claims to be the first of its kind in the UK, inspired by a movement that started in Switzerland.
Founder John Underwood is using his living room for groups to take part in a number of exercises facilitated by a grief specialist."

Thanks for blogging about this Chiara. Our first Death Cafe really was an incredible experience and we're looking forward to doing more. One of our objectives is to develop a set of materials to support other people to develop their own death cafes. We'd love more people to become involved in this work so let us know if you're interested. Otherwise all the best. (By the way we know UCD well, Donna did a masters there).
ReplyDeleteI am always up for putting together materials around the topic of death ;) let's keep in touch; and I will definitely visit if I come to London in the near future!
