Death Cafe for Atheists (morning group) - come talk about death, dying, & life
Details
This Death Cafe is designed to be a safe, confidential space for all of us who are not religious. This meeting is specifically for those who do not follow a faith.
We are all facing death, so let’s talk about it!
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 Atheist Death Cafe is part of the larger international social franchise movement of Death Cafes. 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 counselling session.
This Death Cafe is designed to be a safe, confidential space for all of us who are not religious.
