What brings you to Death Cafe?

Jeg har haft nogle gode oplevelser, når jeg sammen med mennesker i alle aldre har haft samtaler om døden og det at livet har en begyndelse og en slutning. Det kræver mod at tale om det, vi ikke ved noget om - men det er berigende og bringer os tættere sammen.

I have experienced deep conversations with people - both children, adult and very old people -  that had the courage to talk a little bit about death and their thoughts about the strange fact that life has a beginning and an end - and we don't know much about the last.


Thoughts for sharing:

At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only dance.
I can only say, there we have been: but I cannot say where.
And I cannot say, how long, for that is to place it in time.

T.S. Eliot

Again, we had fine two fine hours together. Sitting around two tables we were 13 persons - ages between around 30 and 80.
Laughs and tears, talking about our own death as well as the death of our loved ones and also the death of people that are not so close but yet important for us.

We, the organizers, have made useful guidelines for how to secure an empathic and open-minded frame.
A journalist wished to participate for writing an article in her newspaper, as we also have experiencing before. Our way of instructing and framing that situation was also satisfying, so that she could be there as she ...

We held the first DeathCafe in Copenhagen, Denmark – and it was an inspiring event for all participants – and us the two hosts. We were 11 people. There was 14 that have signed up, but 3 of them had to cancel. We had send invitations a month before the cafe per email to people that we knew and thought would be interested.

 

We had a very short introduction about DeathCafes and our interests in holding them. We were sitting around two tables in the same room. There was a lot to talk about. We shared thoughts and feelings and our focus was a lot of different issues connected to ...
