While there is no roadmap for grief, finding different ways to cope can be part of the healing process. Death & Cupcakes provides a safe space to ask questions, share your story, be witnessed, sit quietly in present time, and listen to the insights of others on death, dying, loss, grief, and renewal. This heart-centered event is designed to raise awareness about topics surrounding death that often remain taboo. In addition to encouraging open and honest dialogue, there will be short periods of mindfulness meditation, and of course, cupcakes.

​​About Death Cafes

Death & Cupcakes is heart2heart's interpretation of Death Cafes, a global movement born from the writings of Bernard Crettaz, a Swiss sociologist who believes talking about death leads to authenticity. ​At a Death Cafe, the community gathers to discuss life and death, with a serving of tea and cake. The objective is to raise awareness through open conversation about a topic that remains taboo. The idea is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of our (finite) lives.” ​Death Cafes are not-for-profit and there is no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product, or course of action.

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. 

It took me years to  understand that this, too, was a gift.”
