A Death Café is a gathering where people come together to discuss death and dying in a relaxed and open environment. The aim is to encourage conversations about a topic that is often considered taboo, allowing participants to share their thoughts, fears, and experiences related to mortality. These meetings are typically informal and can take place in various settings, such as homes, community centers, or cafés. The concept originated in Switzerland in 2004 and has since spread globally, with many groups hosting regular sessions. Participants often enjoy refreshments while engaging in discussions, fostering a sense of community and support around the subject of death.
