The Death Cafe starts Holy Grief Art launched a pilot test on November 5, 2022 as part of the global movement of the same name “Death Cafe” [1] in Unperfekthaus in Essen to create a lively place for conversations about death, grief and life.
Regular meetings are planned in the Unperfekthaus [2].
This venue, located in Essen, will be available for a fee of approximately 5 euros, or the current entrance fee at the Unperfekthaus. But the entrance fee also entitles you to unlimited use of the gastronomic drinks and the club area at the Unperfekthaus.
The Death Cafe is not just a mourning cafe in the narrow sense.
Rather, it is a lively platform for exchanging ideas on the entire topic of “death, grief and life” and is intended to complement the existing offerings of Holy Grief Art and is explicitly not intended to be grief counseling.
The first official Death Cafe in Essen is scheduled to take place on November 5, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. and will be moderated by grief counselor Peter Pfand. The moderator supports the Holy Grief Art team on a voluntary basis and wants to creatively contribute experiences with the above-mentioned subject areas to the Death Cafe.
Greater public awareness.
The cafe aims to give the topics "Death and Dying in the Context of Social Perception" a lively and creative social relevance and to increase public awareness. The organizers and the moderator hope that by discussing the topics at a leisure event, they will be able to encourage a more mindful approach.
