Death Café Cambridge

Wed 19 September 2018

Kettle's Yard House and Gallery

To coincide with Oreet Ashery’s exhibition, Kettle’s Yard is hosting Death Café Cambridge.

Join Ashery and the organisers of Death Café Cambridge for tea, cake and conversation about death in the Kettle’s Yard House.
At a Death Café people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death.

Their objective is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’.

A Death Café is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.

Death Cafés are always offered:
– On a not for profit basis
– In an accessible, respectful and confidential space
– With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action
Death Cafés have spread quickly across Europe, North America and Australasia. As of today, they have offered 6716 Death Cafés in 56 countries since September 2011.

The Death Café model was developed by Jon Underwood and Sue Barsky Reid, based on the ideas of Bernard Crettaz.

Ages 16+. Refreshments provided.

Cost: FREE
