Death Cafe write up: Albany Virtual Death Cafe PST
Posted by JimKirkpatrick on April 28, 2026, 11:42 a.m.
Genevieve and Jim opened the April Death Cafe with 12 of us participating from UK, USA and Canada. Topic included feelings related to Death, feelings of peace and satisfaction when in service, when interacting and connected. Questions about accessing help, asking for help, and Near Death Experience. Speaking and listening was most of our time. And a fair amount of time being silently present.
