Central Houston’s Monthly Death Cafe — NEW location this month!

**Please note that we are in an alternate location this month, due to the holiday weekend**

Talking about death won’t kill you, so come along to a death cafe!

What in the world is a Death Cafe? Simply put, it is a place where people, often strangers, gather to eat treats and discuss death.

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

Houston’s Central Death Cafe is part of the larger international social franchise movement of Death Cafes. We welcome all, members old and new.
A Death Cafe features a group-directed discussion of death with no preset agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session, and not affiliated with any specific faith or belief system.

I want to talk about death! What should I expect?
