Death Café L/A

Description

Conversations to make the most of our finite lives. 

Death Café L/A is a free, monthly group-directed discussion about death and dying. Co-presented by the Auburn Public Library and run by volunteer facilitators Elaine Gammon and Ilse Thompson. 

Death Café L/A has no specific agenda, objectives, or themes. 

It’s simply an open forum intended to bring awareness to the topics surrounding death and promote healthy discussions around end-of-life and beyond. 

Death Café L/A offers a respectful space for death-curious individuals to share personal insights, consider new perspectives, engage in thoughtful conversation, and ponder big questions about this often-taboo, yet universal topic.

Death Cafes are recognized as a non-profit “social franchise.” This unique discussion group has spread quickly, sparking interest in death awareness and end-of-life contemplation. Today, there are over 9600 in-person and online Death Cafes in the U.S.
