Atheist Death Cafe - Come to eat cake and talk about death

A “Death Cafe” is a place to talk candidly and personally about death, while eating cake and drinking tea (hence the cafe). There is no set agenda, the group does not talk about legal matters, suggest actions or solutions, or promote any products or services.

Death Cafe Specifically for Atheists is a safe space to discuss how we feel about death from a secular lens. We want to try to understand how death affects our view of life and what it means to live without a promise of a life after death. We try to avoid politics, leave our jobs at the door, and encourage everyone to speak for themselves. Come and join the lively discussion! This week the facilitators will be two people who have attended all our meetings so far, Michael and Axel.

It’s important to note that while discussions of suicide tend to come up during discussions of death, we approach this topic intellectually and do not endorse the taking of one’s own life. We are not a therapy group and do not have licensed therapy leaders. If you are struggling with dark feelings, please reach out to the crisis hotline at 988.

We are meeting at 11:00 am ‘til 12:45 pm in a room at the McGovern-Stella Link Library. Cake, tea and bottled water will be provided.

Please try to arrive on time so that you don’t miss out on the initial introduction/check-in of the other participants as this is an integral part of the group experience. Thank you!
