Death Cafe β Sunday, January 5, 2025 β 2-3:30pm
Sunday, January 5, 2025
2:00 – 3:30 PM
Dallas Meditation Center
Join us for the Dallas Meditation Center’s Death Cafe, where we will have heart-opening conversations about our impermanent nature, experiences of loss, and more in a mindful community. The Death Cafe is an international movement that aims to bring these important conversations to the forefront. We believe that the practice of mindful sharing can be comforting and supportive during our journey.
This is a group-directed session offering participants time to reflect on and share what they think is important. We will be listening when people are talking, give respect for others’ views and hold confidentiality.
Feel free to bring your favorite tea, dessert and snacks – after all, what’s a Cafe without baked goods and hot beverages?
Here is a video of what you can expect.
Donations Welcome (click to make an online donation now)

Description
A little History
In 2010 Jon Underwood decided to develop aΒ series of projects about deathΒ one of which was to focus on talking about death. In November Jon read about the work ofΒ Bernard CrettazΒ in theΒ Independent newspaper. Inspired by Bernard’s work, Jon immediately decided to use a similar model for his own project, and Death Cafe was born. Jon died suddenly on 27 June 2017.
The first Death Cafe in the UK was offered in Jon’s house in Hackney, East London in September 2011. It was facilitated by psychotherapist Sue Barsky Reid, Jon’s mum. It was a wonderful occasion. We went on to offer Death Cafes in various places including funky cafes, people’s houses, cemeteries, a yurt, and the Royal Festival Hall.
Jon and Sue Barsky Reid produced a guide to running your own Death Cafe, based on the methodology Sue developed. This was published in Feb. 2012 and the first person to pick it up outside of the UK was Lizzy Miles in Columbus, Ohio. Subsequently, hundreds of people have provided Death Cafes in over 85 countries since 2011.
