2026 Death Café Series - Manchester, NH (Bookery)

A Death Café is a facilitated group conversation- often among strangers- designed to create a welcoming space to talk openly about death, dying, and the thoughts and feelings these topics evoke. Death Café’s are not therapy and do not follow an agenda, belief system, or prescribed outcome. Instead they offer a structured yet open dialogue rooted in curiosity, reflection, and shared human experience.

All are welcome. Event is free, but registration is required as space is limited.

2025 Death Café Series

If you want to learn about life, consult death.
Jennifer Sanfilippo brings end-of-life conversations out of the taboo closet. This free, and open-to-the-public gathering invites participants to share thoughts, questions, fears, plans, and hopes as they relate to the final stage of life. Death Cafés are enriching and uplifting for all who attend. There is no agenda, or sponsorship. Cafés exist as a community service, to create space for the subject that perhaps no one else in your life is open to discussing. 

Free, open to the public, but space is limited. Sign up at: https://irondequoitlibrary.libcal.com/event/13821466

2025 Death Café Series

Following the tradition started In London, England, by Jon Underwood and Sue Barsky Reid in 2017, Jennifer convenes Death Cafés to give people a chance to talk about this most important topic that every one of us will at some time experience. It has long been taught by many spiritual teachers that the more we recognize, accept and incorporate the reality of death, the more precious and vivid our lives become. These are not morbid gatherings, but very alive, engaging and often hilarious conversations. Talking about death won’t cause you to die. But not talking about it may result in a life less fully lived and appreciated.

Free, open to the public, but space is limited.
