Death Cafes. The concept originates from Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz, who organized the first café mortel in 2004 to break the "tyrannical secrecy" surrounding death.

The primary objective is to create a safe, confidential space to reduce fear and enable people to live more fully by openly discussing mortality, dreams, and fears!!!
