Death Cafés in Mallorca & Online
Let’s talk about what no one wants to talk about
A safe and friendly space to talk about death, dying and everything in between
Talking about death can feel awkward, even taboo. But what if it didn’t have to be? At a Death Café, you’re invited to share your thoughts, worries or curiosity about death in a warm and welcoming environment—with tea, cake, and no judgement.
Let’s normalise the conversation
Because avoiding death doesn’t make it go away
Many of us find it hard to bring up subjects like funerals, wills or end of life care. A Death Café helps open up that conversation. It’s not therapy, it’s not morbid—it’s simply a space where real people talk about real things that matter.
Share. Listen. Learn.
Talking about death often helps us live more fully
Whether you’re grieving, planning, or just curious, these conversations can be surprisingly uplifting. You’ll leave with a deeper sense of connection, perhaps a little clarity, and often a sense of relief that you could say the things you’ve long held in.
Caring compassionately & creatively
For more than a decade, I have guided people through the challenges of facing the end of life or losing a loved one. I do this with grace, dignity, compassion, and love.
Families are listened to, supported, and held, and every person is treated with the utmost respect.
Whether writing someone’s life story or supporting them on their final journey, I remain calm, practical, and clear — always seeking to see the best in everyone. With me beside you, you will be heard, understood, and supported.
What people say about Death Cafe
Attending the international online Death Cafe has given me a safe space to fully face my grief. In every day life and work, I feel the need to stay strong, be brave, not show emotions. At the Death Cafe it all comes pouring out and I feel I make huge steps of progress. It is a caring, warm environment, void of any judgment, where you can speak freely and from the heart about any topic. AG, Spain
The Death Cafe helped me so much after the death of my sister. Everyone understood exactly what I was going through. Every meeting was so different but always very uplifting. Glynis holds the space so well, allowing everyone time and encouraging every person to contribute. LC, Mallorca
It is a very moving and humbling experience being part of the Death Cafe. It is a privilege hearing about other peoples’ experiences and challenges. It is so amazingly facilitated and safely held and guided by Glynis. SO, England
The death cafes which I have attended in Deia have been always enlightening, thought provoking and encouraging. I’ve met many new faces from these sessions and Glynis, as always, adds heart and soul to the sessions. I will continue to attend whenever possible and continue to spread the word for how inspiring and uplifting they. prove to be. DM, Mallorca
I found the Death Cafes calming, sad and companionable and great to meet so many nice people. I think the most important thing in any society is to be able to talk about death, before and especially after the event. Never cross the road to avoid talking to a bereaved person. They may need to talk to someone that isn’t directly involved (not wanting to worry their family etc). They need to know they’re not alone, their loved one is remembered. After the first weeks of caring for the bereaved don’t forget about them, they’re still in pain. VC, Mallorca
I have been attending Death Cafés for some time now. I like them because they create an atmosphere that is conducive to sharing, listening and being heard, without judgement and with a great deal of respect! I always leave having learned something new from the people I have met. AV, Mallorca
Death Cafés are an important place for the exploration of life and death. I enjoy the exchange of practical ideas for a smooth transition and a mix of opinions and views of how death is approached by a variety of cultures. MK, Portugal
On my first visit to the Death Cafe, I was not sure what to expect, but felt as my parents are elderly I needed to find a safe space where I could feel free to talk about life and death, and my ever increasing feelings of fear surrounding death and my loved ones. Death cafe is this and so much more. It is a safe space, always with a wonderful and diverse group of open and like minded people. We share our experiences, thoughts and feelings, and comfort each other. I have always left feeling lighter. Knowing there is a group like this, with the amazing Glynis at the helm makes me feel secure in the knowledge that there will be somewhere to go, to talk and listen that will help me enormously when the time comes. Thank you Glynis for all you do. PS the cake is fantastic too! TS, Mallorca
I love attending DC meetings as they are an uplifting, safe, welcoming and non judgmental space to be able to talk honestly and openly about death. I find the meetings life affirming and always leave with a feeling of lightness and love. SH, Mallorca
The Death Cafe offers a place to share one’s fears, curiosity and experiences. It’s very cathartic. Here’s a place to ask those practical questions. Just as we don’t go into childbirth without some preparation so too with death. Thank you Glynis for being here. CP, Mallorca
