Death Cafe
At the Mandala Cafe
As a society, we rarely discuss death, even though the inevitability of death is the only thing we can predict in life. A Death Cafe is a useful forum for people coming to terms with a terminal illness and people caring for the dying. For any human being, no matter what their stage in life, an awareness of the presence of death can help us live our lives more fully.
In person, just turn up.
