Death Cafe write up: Second Death Cafe in Warsaw

Most of participants said at the beginning they came out of interest, curiosity, because of the announcement they saw on the door of the café Pochwała Niekonsekwencji. The discussions touched upon the role of mass media in our understanding of death, on personal experiences of death (one of participants was diagnosed twice with cancer and declared terminally ill by the doctors) as well as on the death and dying of parents. Towards the end of the meeting, there was a general feeling that we have just touched the surface of the topic and that there is more need to go into the transcendental meaning of this experience.

62 people completed ...
