Well, we had a room that accommodated ten and we had seven people attend - so it was pretty good considering the fact that again it's a beach location.
Cordial, engaging conversations with cake, coffee and tea made the two hours pass oh so quickly.
We're looking forward to our May Second Saturday and Fourth Tuesday Death Cafes at Chapin Memorial Library.

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.

End-of-life doulas Lisa Ludwig-Mackenzie & Marie-Louise Steyn co-hosted this gathering at 7:30 p.m., SAST, on April 23rd. There were 16 of us, including 2 guests from the US. The duration of our Café was 90 minutes.
After brief introductions and sharing what brought each of us to DC, we split into two breakout rooms for more intimate discussions. Our conversations travelled far and wide, from the personal realities of loss and the role of a doula to complex discussions on VSED, MAiD, and the Kubler-Ross stages of grief. We touched upon the essential nature of end-of-life planning, the reality of navigating transitions alone, the intentionality ...

The conversation was very rich, discussing what death acceptance looks like. We also pondered the meaning of this life and where death fits in. We covered religion vs. spirituality and that death does not cancel out life.

Another successful meeting at which we welcomed some regular and some new visitors. Conversation ranged from different types of grief, practical steps to take to alleviate the burden of one's death for others to what rituals we'd want at our own funerals.

Joan and Scott had a busy cafe with two active tables at the Friends Meeting House. Everyone enjoyed cake and tea before selling in. Scott's table discussed issues of dealing with acute grief. There was a great deal of very personal self-disclosure. We discussed accessing groups in Portland and the processing of grief in a group setting. We also reviewed individual therapy and psychoactive medication. Members had considerable personal experiences to share. There was discussion of the loss of a child, other types of loss, and loss of a pet. We reviewed the loss of companionship. There was interest in end-of-life care. We discussed funerals, disposal of ...

The seven participants at yesterday's Myrtle Beach Death Cafe at Chapin Memorial Library enjoyed a convivial early afternoon conversation covering a wide range of topics.
Attendance was off a bit from our typical 10-12 participants; a beautiful day at the beach is a significant distraction. So, too, are the hundreds of activities in this popular beach destination of ours.
Those who've attended previous Myrtle Beach Death Cafes at Chapin Memorial Library know we try to follow the founder's suggested guidance of having "cake and tea/coffee" be an integral aspect (to encourage amiable conversations).
Yesterday's "conversation nibbles", instead, was a platter of snack pastries ...
