About this Event
The New York Society for Ethical Culture is pleased to introduce the Ethical Culture Death Café, a monthly gathering that invites open, thoughtful, and compassionate conversation about death and dying.
A Death Café is a free, informal forum where people—often strangers—come together over tea and cake to talk openly about death. The purpose is not to reach conclusions, provide therapy, or offer grief counseling, but rather to increase awareness of mortality, normalize conversations that are often avoided, and create space for honest reflection.
These conversations can be serious, curious, humorous, philosophical, or deeply personal. Participants are encouraged to speak—or simply listen—at their own comfort level. By talking openly about death, many people find they are better able to clarify what matters most to them and, in turn, live more fully and intentionally.
The Ethical Culture Death Café is guided by shared values of dignity, respect, and ethical inquiry. All are welcome, regardless of beliefs, background, or experience. There is no cost to attend, no required preparation, and no expectation beyond mutual respect and confidentiality.
Join us for a meaningful afternoon of conversation, connection, and reflection in a supportive community setting.
