What brings you to Death Cafe?

Since 2006, I have been designing and leading retreats for women and businesses.  I feel that at most of those retreats that what I am asking people about is how they want to live knowing that they will someday die.  In my personal life, I am the wife of a pastor and have attended more funerals than I had ever envisioned.  As my two worlds have intertwined, I have felt myself pulled to the work of encouraging people to talk about and think about death because it unlocks the fullness of life.


What would you like your legacy to be?

That I encouraged people to engage in conversations that mattered, listened to others with compassion and empathy, worked to change my corner of the world and appreciated the daily beauty of life.


Thoughts for sharing:

I had heard it said that the point of suffering is to sit with it long enough to find the blessing.  The blessing that I have found through my personal suffering is to lead Death Cafes.

Death Cafe write up: Death Cafe in Canton New York

We held our first Death Cafe on January 20th with 36 people.  I sat them at tables of 6 and after the welcome and a review of the principles, I had them start off.  People seemed eager to talk and as far as I could observe, each person had plenty of time to speak.  After 40 minutes, I rang a bell and invited people to get coffee or tea and some cake (devil's food or angel food) and then to sit down with a new group of six for a new conversation.  People indicated that they liked that model and the chance to hear from others.  Words ...
