About this Death Cafe
Greetings, and Welcome to the Akron area Death Cafe! Death Cafes may sound a bit morbid, but sometimes in can be helpful and good to reflect and discuss death and its related topics in a safe, open, and friendly environment over delicious food, tea, and coffee! The objective of Death Cafe is "To increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives". These are the guiding principles of Death Cafes: - We are not for profit basis (though to be sustainable we try to cover expenses through donations and fundraising) - With no intention of leading participants towards any particular conclusion, religion, product or course of action - In an accessible, respectful and confidential space, free of discrimination - Alongside refreshing drinks and nourishing food! Death Cafes are NOT designed to be a bereavement or grief support group, and do NOT serve as a replacement for professional counseling programs. While the subject matter and topics may be therapeutic for some, this effect is not the primary intention. This is partly in an effort to sustain Death Cafes as comfortable, relaxed and openly exploratory spaces, as well as to respect continuity of existing bereavement resources. We hope you can join us for some enlightening discussion, good food, drink, and fellowship! This chapter is a member of Death Cafes movement and sponsored by Crossroads Hospice
