About this Death Cafe
Our format has proven popular. We strive for a homey atmosphere in the church hall. We have a brief social time with wine, cheese, tea, and cakes, then guests gather around round tables set with candles and tablecloths, about 6 guests at each. The facilitator welcomes everyone and a moment for centering and grounding through music or meditation is offered. The facilitator explains that the Death Cafe is a confidential, welcoming space for people to talk about whatever is on their minds about death. We explain that we do not sell or promote anything, nor suggest any course of action; none of us are "experts." At about 6:45, the facilitator asks that each table select a spokesperson to summarize the topics and ideas that arose in their discussion. We close with a wish for all to be well and to benefit from the discussion.
