What brings you to Death Cafe?

We are drawn to Death Cafe by our mutual awareness that death is a natural part of life and our concern that society is out of touch with this fact. We are combining our wisdom and experience in order to create a safe and supportive environment where conversations about death and dying can freely take place. By holding these meetings at the horse ranch we can all benefit from the relaxed yet aware presence of our magnificent four-legged companions, who offer us courage and strength as we face the end of life. 

What would you like your legacy to be?

We intend to blaze a trail by creating the first-ever Death Cafe held at a horse ranch. The horses will stand by as silent partners while our conversations take place and the presence of nature will remind us that death is always a part of life. We believe that these natural surroundings will enhance our discussions about death and provide comfort as we contemplate the difficult issues of life.

Thoughts for sharing:

"Horses have successfully thrived for centuries vs. simply survived, by adapting and accepting the present moment, the "what-is" of their life. They spend their days in a relaxed, yet aware, state...not expending time and energy on wishful thinking, or dwelling on the past, or imagining worst outcomes. This innate ability, that we humans call emotional agility and social intelligence, arises naturally when you're not afraid of life." - Tara Pogoda

On July 18th and 19th, 2014 we embarked on a journey through uncharted territory: hosting Death Cafe at a ranch with horses present as facilitators. If you are not familiar with equine facilitators, the very idea might sound preposterous, but these particular horses at Fifth Element Ranch have been trained in therapeutic interactions with humans and have been assisting people with the difficulties of life for several years now.

We set up our chairs in ...
