About this Event
Grief is often a topic shrouded in silence and taboo. It is not a problem to be solved, but a process to be honoured. A death or grief cafe is a unique space for individuals to engage in open and honest conversations about loss--loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of a pet, loss of a relationship, loss of mobility, loss of sexuality are just some instances of felt loss.
At a Grief Café, we traditionally gather around warm tea and sweets and engage in respectful and compassionate discussions. The focus is not on mourning or grief but rather on fostering a deeper understanding of loss and its impact on our lives. It is not grief support or counselling session but a safe space to talk openly about grief.
Kirsten & Michelle invite participants to share their stories, ask questions, and listen attentively to others. There is no pressure to speak, and silence is welcomed as a natural part of the process. Gentle mindfulness will also be facilitated.
The concept of Grief Cafés is rooted in the belief that talking about grief can help us live more fully and appreciate the preciousness of life. By creating a safe space for these conversations, Grief Cafés contribute to breaking down the taboo surrounding loss and encouraging a healthier and more open approach to our loss.
Whether you have experienced a personal loss, are curious about death's mysteries, or simply seek to connect with others on a deeper level, we welcome you to this unique and trans-formative conversation circle.
