On October 18 we hosted our very first Death Cafe in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. Being the first one we did not know what to expect so we were prepared with lots of questions we could pose if no one wanted to talk. When we began we introduced ourselves and I ...
Death Cafe write up: Low Country Death Cafe

Our 4th Low Country Death Cafe was again held on a beautiful, sunny day, at Serenity Now Yoga Studio. Of the 15 people that attended, the majority were newcomers. Introductions were lengthy and personal.
Although, this large group was candid with their sharing, I think in the future, it would be advantageous to break into smaller groups. We will also return to a 2 hour schedule (rather than 90 minutes)!
Hopefully, this will insure a more indepth and expansive conversation.
The feedback was positive, with many requesting the next meeting to be scheduled sooner, rather than later!

We had a very interesting afternoon at Highcliffe Death Café today. Two 3rd students from Art University Bournemouth joined us and had many questions to ask. Studying Visual Communication they have entered an international competion on designing a publication on “visit death”. It was a pleasure to share time with the young men; discover and discuss the topic of death.
I have been to four different DCs (Bedford, Hitchin, Greenwich and Suurbiton) and been inspired to run one in Lewisham, London on 7th November (see picture)
I have already got the local press (South London Press) very interested, but can you advise me about whom else I should tell about ...
New Blog post: Poem titled Death
Posted by David Wood on Oct. 20, 2015, 11:23 a.m.
Should the whole of nature fail
That would be a terrible dream
But God would see that it would prevail
Life through a living stream.
Thus runs my dreams living still
That life prevails beyond the grave,
Life empties after death the will
And the spirit but true to save.
Of what language the spirit choose
Would it be a cry or moan?
A crying child at night might lose
His nightmare with a groan ...

This was my first time doing a Death Cafe. I chose to have it in a private group I am in. CUUPS is a group of pagans on different paths associated with a Unitarian Universalist church. It went very well. There was lots of discussion. I recieved several compliments afterwards telling me "this was the most interesting discussion we have had in a long time". People were so interested the meeting went longer then normal. Several people asked if we could do another one sometime. Hopefully I will be able to do one open to more people in the future. I made and decorated the cake myself.

This was an energetic and inspiring afternoon. We had thirteen people come together at the Whitstable Umbrella Centre, plenty of cakes, tea and coffee.
Everyone took part in the various conversations and the trust grew with each other very qiuckly.
After our break, more personal material was shared and yet there was also light heartedness at the end.
The buzz of conversation was immense after the offical end and people wanted to swap email addresses to stay in contact.
It was humbling and exciting to be a co host at this event. Julie and I also want to thank the Whitstable Umbrella Centre for their support by allowing ...
