DEATH CAFE
Be Mindful of Death & Live Fully
History of Death Cafe
In 2011, Jon Underwood founded Death Cafe based on the ideas of Bernard Crettaz, and held the first Death Cafe in his home in London.
The objective of Death Cafe is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'.
Since, Death Cafes have spread quickly across World. As of today there have been 15545 Death Cafes in 83 countries. A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.
On 8 Oct 2020, we started first Death Cafe at new market office in Auckland. The opening of this death coffee became the first to break the taboo among Chinese and Asian community.
In 2021, Death Cafe was invited to hold every first Saturday each month at Epsom library. Participants expanded from the Chinese community to various ethnic groups.
At Better Life Foundation
Every month's 1st Sat , we get-together in a nurturing and supportive environment, to talk about death, understand more & fear less, learn to let go and embrace life fully.
