A Life Affirming Meetup on 9/11
A write up of Death Cafe' Arkansas
Fourteen people showed up at our first Death Cafe’ meeting, doubling our expectations!
There were massage therapists, yoga teachers, hospice volunteers and care givers, retirees from various states, and organic farmers. Everyone shared one or more reasons why they came.
After introductions, a moment of silence was held to honor those who perished in the 9/11 attacks in NYC and Washington, DC. A lively conversation quickly ensued on topics such as deaths of loved ones that can create a higher awareness of our own last moment, making a plan for ourselves, understanding state legalities, and recognizing when end of life is near. The Five Wishes document was discussed briefly.
The next meetup is slated for Sunday, October 16 at 2:00 pm. at YES!Yoga studio in Cotter. Copies of the Five Wishes booklets will be available for purchase. The cost is $5. They are available on line as well, cost is the same, plus shipping if you want to order the paper version.
Check out this upcoming event in Fayetteville, AR 10/27 through 11/1/16!
