Death Cafe write up: Thursday Evening Death CafePortland, OR

Posted by nomenoyou1 on March 13, 2025, 11:15 p.m.

Our second Thursday cafe was delightful. We had 16 attendees in two rooms with a good demographic mix. The conversation today centered around spiritual issues. People discussed their current feelings about spiritual matters and how their life journey brought them to this place. We also discussed how faith and spirituality impacts our approach to death and dying. There were many heartwarming stories and deep sharing. We also spent some time discussing psychedelics and end of life preparations. Excellent cafe.
