Downtown BIPOC Death Cafe

About Downtown BIPOC Death Cafe

Death Cafe informed by Black and Brown experience. Open to all.

This monthly Death Cafe centers Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in conversation about death, dying, and grief.

Experiences of loss are shaped by culture, history, land, and systems. This gathering intentionally makes space for those realities and the nuances that are not always acknowledged in mixed settings.



All are welcome. We ask that participants who do not identify as BIPOC attend with a commitment to listen, reflect, and honor the focus of the space.



This event follows the global Death Cafe model:

• No agenda and no presentation

• No intention of leading participants to a conclusion or course of action

• Not therapy, grief counseling, research, or community consultation

• Participant-led discussion only



Death Cafe is for people who feel able to engage in open conversation about death. If you are seeking grief counseling or bereavement support, there are other spaces better suited for that care, and we can provide you with those community resources.



These gatherings are supported by the Death Collaborative, a nonprofit dedicated to community conversations about death.
