CAFÉ MORTEL
Death, meaning, what we're here for, what we want to leave behind. Not heavy. Not clinical. Just honest people around a table, willing to go there together.
A room where you don't have to perform
Café Mortel began in Switzerland and has traveled, quietly, around the world. The idea is simple — gather people around a table, share something warm to drink, and talk honestly about death.
Not to fix anything. Not to find answers. Just to make room for a conversation most of us never get to have.

Open to everyone. No experience required.
You don't have to be grieving. You don't have to be sick. You don't have to have a question ready.
Some come because they've lost someone. Some come because they work alongside death — nurses, doulas, chaplains, hospice workers. Some come simply because something pulled them to the door.
All of it belongs at this table.
