Hi everyone :)
As part of the work to develop Death Café London I have commissioned a film to be made about this project and Death Café more widely. This is being made by Mdhamiri at Cinovice.
As Death Café is a community enterprise I am very keen that a wide ...
Hello. I am getting old and my mind is sliding into senility, though it's not quite completely gone yet. I have been an atheist all my life, but I can work with religious believers if they don't give me a lot of crap. I've helped set up ...
Routine urinary infections can be life-threatening in elderly patients. Last year my always-organized mother developed disorganized thinking in conjunction with a urinary infection. She claimed over our weekly phone call that her new medication did not make her feel right. She neglected to mention that having a fever was the ...
Super brief summary:
We’re looking to establish a ‘real’ Death Café in London - a physical Death Café that sits at the heart of what is now a worldwide movement. This will be called Death Café London and will be owned and run by the community that funds its set ...
It never ceases to amaze me how people can come together, many and most as strangers, sit in a circle and allow themselves to all become connected at some level. As a Death Cafe facilitator I have found each event to be unique and very interesting. We had our 6th ...

Recently at our Titirangi Death Café some provocative questions were raised. I am still reflecting on them and thought I would share the questions for your reflection also.

Letter to Shepherd Smith & Todd Bridges.
