Death Cafe write up: Death Cafe in the Couv

We had a great turn out for the first Death Cafe in the 'Couv on Saturday, April 12, 2014! We munched on red devil's food cupcakes and caramel turtle brownies while sharing our thoughts on death. We started by listening the sound of the singing bowl and "Seasons in the Sun," (Terry Jacks) and ended with "Spirit in the Sky" (Norman Greenbaum). One participant suggested we devote a death cafe to just talking about pet deaths.
We are forming a planning committee for our next Death Cafe in the 'Couv in July, 2014! Contact us if you are interested in being on the committee!

The crucible of making human beings is death. Every culture worth a damn knows that. It's not success, it's not growth, it's not happiness. It's death. That's the cradle of your love of life; the fact that it ends. ~ Stephen Jenkinson

As it was our 1st Death Café experience as facilitators and participants we were curious and excited as to how it might unfold. We kept it true to DC format and opened with a brief explanation of what a Death Café was, the founder Jon Underwood, and the details about the organization itself. We then went over what a DC is not… a grief support meeting, a place for self-promotion or a meeting with an agenda.
What an amazing event! Sarasota’s 1st Death Café was an astonishing success. 20 people were in the room aging from 11 to 76 and from all walks of life. We had ...

We held our 4th Death Cafe on 7th April again at the terrific Green Chimney with a 7pm start time, although with late corners it was 7;20 before we started.
We started out by welcoming in a lot of new faces yet again, we totalled 26 this time which is our best turnout to date and might just be our peak.
I started the evening with bits and pieces of news, on-going events and up dates.
As the evening came to a close we went around the room taking everybody's opinion.
Sally then closed the evening with a brilliant summarising thanking everyone for their participation and ...
may Your departure be a wonderful experience my friend.
...and the Completion continues...
- perfectly moving on..

After the idea of Good & Evil materialized in some 'Paradise' & 'Hell', the Final Destination of Death became part of the scam, and is now the great delusion of modern civilization.
