Death Cafe（死亡茶社）由瑞士社会学家和人类学家Dr. Bernard Crettaz于2011年在英国开始创办。从那时起，已经在全世界超过66个国家举办这一活动，目的为人们提供一个安全和温馨的空间，让大家在没有议程、目标或主题的情况下自由的谈论死亡。

在这一集里，我们请到了一位非常特别的嘉宾，她已经在北京、上海和柏林举办了50多场死亡茶社的活动。Ziyi是一位真正的倡导者，她提倡公开和诚实地讨论死亡和临终问题，并与我们分享她在主持这些活动中的经验和见解。我们讨论了围绕死亡和临终的误解，不同的文化如何对待这个话题，以及开放和诚实的对话所带来的变革力量。

与我们一起思考关于死亡和谈论死亡的可以带给我们的启发。无论你是对死亡茶社感到好奇，还是想要了解如何谈论和探索死亡，我们非常推荐你收听本期节目。

Death Cafes are a relatively new phenomenon that started in the UK back in 2011, inspired by the work of Swiss sociologist and anthropologist Dr. Bernard Crettaz. Since then, they have been hosted in over 66 countries worldwide, offering a safe and welcoming space for people to talk about death with no agenda, objectives or themes.

In this episode, we're joined by a very special guest who has hosted over 50 Death Cafe events across Beijing, Shanghai, and Berlin. Ziyi Huang is a true advocate for open and honest discussions about death and dying, and she shares with us her experiences and insights from hosting these unique events.

Our guest today shares with us why she started hosting these gatherings, what Death Cafes are really about, and how they can help people approach and understand death in a more meaningful and positive way. We discuss the misconceptions around death and dying, how different cultures approach the topic, and the transformative power of open and honest conversation.

Join us for an enlightening and thought-provoking discussion about death, dying, and the importance of talking about it. Whether you're curious about Death Cafes or simply interested in exploring your own feelings around mortality, this episode is a must-listen.
