I am continuously surprised by each Death Cafe I have run since March 2013. This latest event was no exception.
The lead up went from many expected to one participant due to be late. But just as I prepared to wait for the one to be late, two people unexpectedly came along and it was the most interesting and lively experience yet!

The cafe's here are not many in numbers yet, but it doesn't seem to change the depth and breadth of the conversations we have and the ...

Our first Eastside Death Cafe was a great success - even more so with the festive feeling of Dia de Los Muertos!
Over thrity people gathered around tables of six or so and shared with one another about their experience of and around death.

It gave all of us a better feeling of connection as an entire group.
We had many fun sweets to celebrate the Dia de Los Muertos theme, which many enjoyed.

Check out these amazing stats - according to facebook, in the last week Death Cafe's facebook page reached nearly 100,000 people!
Our facebook page is definitely making lots of people happy and this is very much due to Megan Mooney, from Death Cafe St. Joe. Megan runs the page which is lots of hard work and does it really well.
Thank you Megan!
So named because of the large number of shipwrecks that have occured on its rocky shores.
But despite the ominous name, it is still frequented by budding surfers looking for a thrill-ride!

I attended the initial Oct 25th meeting, but I couldn't make the Nov.2nd because of a conflict with my working hours. I appreciate the value this group can hold, and I'm sorry to have missed the discussions. I look forward to receiving announcements about future meetings.

Last night 10 people joined us for our second death café at Mt Gravatt.
There was again a delightful mix of people, and we had the opportunity to hear some insights from a palliative care nurse, and a hospital chaplain working with the oncology ward. Amongst the group were also team members from Karuna http://www.karuna.org.au/ community and home palliative care who again shared some wonderful insights. We thank them for their openness in sharing, and for all the other people for their honest sharing and wisdom.
Many topics were covered and we shared, laughed and sometimes sighed at the information and the storytelling. We ...
