A death positive group based in Colchester. Everyone is welcome to explore ideas and feelings about death and dying. The aim of death cafes is to bring the topic of death and dying back into the public space in order to increase awareness and acceptance of the fact that each of us is going to die. An increased death awareness often correlates with a life lived more meaningfully and reduced anxiety around the subject. Death Cafes are an increasing trend in the UK and worldwide, with more and more people willing to explore the topic of death and dying. They are safe, confidential and open spaces where everyone is welcome to bring their own ideas and experience. There are no pre-determined objectives, agendas, advertising or themes. They do not glamourise death and they are not grief support or group therapy. We do not meet as anything other than people who are going to die one day and want to discuss about the implications of this fact. Monthly meetings facilitated by Alina and Sam. Tea and coffee can be purchased from the bar. More info: http://deathcafe.com/
