Death Cafes, first held in Europe in 2011, aim to reduce the stigma around talking about death. The Unitarian Society (TUS) will hold its first Death Cafe from 7-9 p.m. Oct. 28 at TUS, 176 Tices Lane, East Brunswick.
A Death Cafe is a group discussion, open to the public, of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session, and is not recommended for people who have had a recent loss that they are grieving.
The evening’s structure includes gathering together, sharing introductions, dividing into small groups for discussion, and then coming together at the end.
