    Death Café

    An invitation to explore, openly and without taboos, the various aspects of death and the process of dying. The direction of this gathering—the topics discussed, the fears shared, or the joys celebrated—will be entirely shaped by the voices and experiences of those in attendance. In a safe, welcoming, and confidential environment, there will be space for open sharing. To accompany the conversation, light refreshments will be served: a symbolic gesture to remind us that death, like food, is an integral part of life. + INFO info@novobowing.pt and/or 00351 912 885 896

    Death Café

    After a two-month summer break, we will resume our regular Death Cafés on Wednesday, September 23. We invite everyone to explore all aspects of death and the process of dying. Which direction our gathering takes, the topics discussed, and the thoughts, feelings, concerns, fears, and joys that arise in our conversations depend on all of us who participate. We can share our thoughts in a safe environment; food and drinks will be served as a symbol that death, just like food, is a part of our lives. We are delighted to gather from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Casa Novo Bowing in Odemira. We thank the staff for providing us with such a beautiful space. For further information and registration, you are welcome to contact me.

    Death Café

    Casa Novo Bowing is hosting a new "Death Café," an open and informal gathering to talk about death and dying in a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment. A "Death Café" is not a lecture or a bereavement support group, although grief and emotions may naturally be shared. It is a space for free conversation, where questions, fears, curiosities, and reflections are met with attentive listening and a diversity of perspectives. Around the table, with hot tea, cake, and small snacks, a time for sharing is created. The meeting is led by the House of Transition collective, which, under the name Entre Mundos, regularly develops initiatives for dialogue around death in the Odemira region. 📅 March 19, 2026 ⏰ 5:30 p.m. — 7:30 p.m. 📍 Entrance at Rua João de Deus, 9 — Odemira 📩 Free registration: info@novobowing.pt | 00351 912 885 896 — The Casa Novo Bowing program is part of the “Novo Bowing” project, developed with the support of Alentejo 2030, within the scope of Portugal 2030, co-financed by the European Union, with additional support from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Odemira City Council.
