There will be a special offer of tea/cakes for participants on that day.

We are pleased to invite you to a unique event, once again held at the Czajownia tearoom! On November 19th at 6:00 PM, we will gather at the Death Cafe to talk about death, dying, grief, and life.

With our shared comfort in mind, we've decided to limit the number of participants to 24. To secure your spot at the Death Cafe, please register using the form below:

Just your name or nickname is enough (we do not collect your addresses).

"Death Cafe is an informal gathering where, over a cup of tea and cake, we create a safe space for open conversations. Death, though natural, often remains a taboo subject. We want to change this by sharing experiences, reflections, and feelings in an atmosphere of respect and acceptance."

The idea behind Death Cafe (inspired by the movement described on deathcafe.com):

Open to all – anyone can join.

Without an agenda or rigid framework – you set the direction for the conversation.

No taboos – we talk honestly about what's important.

Not therapy or a support group – this is a space for dialogue, not treatment.

This is the first meeting of its kind at Czajownia, whose intimate atmosphere fosters reflective conversations. We don't impose topics or views—we focus on listening to each other and being there for each other. Talking about death helps not only to manage fear but also to appreciate the value of life and feel that we are not alone.

Please note: The Death Cafe is not a therapy or support group. We do not recommend participation for those in crisis or recently grieving.
