Edmonton Death Café – North Side Gathering: ☕ Sip. Eat. Discuss.🖤

***You found us !! Thank you. Welcome to the Edmonton Death Café Meetup group!***

**\#\#\#\# PURPOSE**

Death Cafe is:

A place where people, often strangers, gather to sip, eat and discuss death talk.

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

• A group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. The format is meant to be flexible, lightweight, and straightforward.

*Death Café is not:*

• Not a bereavement support or grief counselling setting.

• Not an opportunity to give people information about death and dying – regardless of how good or important it is. This is a time to discuss death without expectations.

• Not a place for guest speakers or distribution of information materials.

• Death café does not work for people who, for whatever reason, aren’t able to discuss death comfortably and openly.

• Death Café does not work as a method of community engagement, research, or consultation
