Death Cafe

Welcome to Death Cafe!

Come join us at Berkeley Public Library for an evening of open and honest conversations about death. This is a safe space for people to share their thoughts, fears, and questions about the inevitable.

Death Cafe is not a support group or a counseling session, but rather a casual gathering to explore a topic that is often considered taboo. Whether you want to talk about end-of-life planning, grief, or simply ponder the mysteries of life and death, this event is for you. Let's break the silence and embrace the conversations that matter most. See you there!
We request that you register to make sure we have enough room for everyone who shows up. The room has limited capacity. We want everyone to be comfortable and to make it easy to hear and be heard.
Donations are optional. They are to supplement the support from the Library to fully cover the costs of the event.
