Alton Death Café 20th July 2017
Our second Death Café held in the Allen Gallery Alton held 7-9 pm on 20th July 2017.
Diana and I welcomed 11 people some who had travelled from further afield to attend.
We were able to host this first Death Café in Alton in the wonderful Allen Gallery who are in the midst of their Jane Austen exhibition. Jane died 200 years ago on the 18th of July and lived in Chawton, a lovely village very close to Alton. We are very grateful for the lovely volunteers who helped make the evening a success.

This gathering was another fascinating discussion. Sometimes we see death and limit it to death of the physical body. This evenings conversation was greatly about death of Dreams - life goal dreams, daytime dreams and what all that encompasses. Grieving the loss of that life dreams seemed to be as great as grieving the loss of a loved one. After all, aren't life dreams a huge part of our finite lives? That gave us much to talk about. The cake was fantastic!

Whangarei's 3rd Death Cafe was held at Narnia Cafe. We changed the venue for this death cafe from the previously used Public Library to Narnia Cafe to make the access to food and drink easier.
The venue has a separate room which we were able to reconfigure for our purpose and worked quite well although was a little cool and drafty on a cold day.
There were 9 participants as well as the host Jo Moselen and facilitator Jo Samuel.
The ages of the participants ranged from 16 to 74.
We discussed a range of topics including End of life directives, discussing death with your famly, being ...

Somehow, we ended up at Christmas! Unfortunately, no mince pies!
