AMIDA DEATH CAFE WITH BHAKTIKA

31 OCTOBER 2024
The Death Cafe movement was started in London in 2011. It was inspired by the ideas of Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz who had run Cafe Mortal events in France and Switzerland. Death Cafes have now taken place in over 66 countries around the world. The mission of a Death Cafe is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’.
