Local Death Cafes

A death cafe is simply a group of people gathering over a cup of tea, or equivalent, and perhaps a biscuit or cake, to talk openly and honestly about death and dying. For far too long talking about death has been seen as morbid; death itself has been long relegated to the shadow. Yet death is in the midst of life, and the more we can be at ease with death, and the transiency of life, the less we fear it and the more we can learn to appreciate this transitory life.

Death cafe is a worldwide movement, seeking to bring death into the mainstream - see the deathcafe website for more details.

I helped co-facilitate a death cafe in Llandovery in late 2022 into early 2023, and will be co-facilitating a death cafe in Cwmdu Inn near Talley, Llandeilo, starting on Tuesday evening November 21st 2023. It is free of charge, open to all who wish to openly talk about their experiences of death in a welcoming friendly environment over a cup of tea.

Feel free to contact me for more details, and you’ll be welcome to come along for a friendly gathering and to learn more about it.
