Hello
I have just read the document on holding a death cafe, it's a fantastic idea my question is, how are a lot of end of life guests able to attend a venue to participate in the meeting?
mot are there aimed more for the newly diagnosed target group ...
Do other faciltators "take attendance" and/or keep track of attendees? How about asking them for contact info?
I can see ONLY ONE reason to do this: to be able to report if a participant is threatending self-harm, seeming to be a danger to self or others. Ugh.
What do ...

The FSJ Palliative Care Society hosted a small (11 people) but successful Death Cafe on June 1st. The cafe, guided by Roz Smith - a local counsellor, had shorter but free flowing conversation about death and dying and how its impacts our lives.
Participants moved from group to group with about 4/5 changes during the course of the evening. Conversations were focussed on the impact death has in our lives but the actual topics were very diverse, as is to be expected when addressing such a complex topic.
Participants agreed that this was a worthwhile endevour and so we will plan to have about 3 Death Cafes over ...
New Blog post: Re-Designing Grief Together
Posted by Clo on June 7, 2022, 2:20 a.m.
Hi everyone, I am a 21 years old girl from Italy and I am a designer.
I've been attending death cafès because of my mother's death one year and a half ago, and I have decided to do something about it, about the way we grief: without society giving us any tool to deal with it.
I've organized an online zoom workshop where we can talk about the problem and try ...

We had a very heartwarming evening for our first Death cafe in Drogheda. 14 attendees, on top of 2 facilitators. Interesting topics for discussion including legacy and how we would like to be remembered, the importance of being prepared in terms of wishes and planning, options for funerals now that less traditional routes are becoming more mainstream, some interesting resources and books available online on death in general, the traumas that stay with us from our exposure to death from childhood. A huge thanks to the Rugby club for sponsoring the venue.
New Blog post: Can a materialistic view of life and death provide a source of inspiration? Of comfort?
Posted by Fred Smith on May 29, 2022, 3:23 p.m.
I find I cannot choose what I believe; some things strike me as believable and others not. The world presents its own truths, and I have integrity to the extent that my beliefs align with these truths and honesty to the extent that I openly avow them.
I cannot accept the concept of an immaterial human soul. I cannot believe that my conscious self will survive my bodily death. A life of reading and thinking ...

This month's Death Cafe was held on May 17th with around 8 attendees from all over the United States. A lot of good conversation was had this month!
Funeral traditions were discussed and a members talked about why we still carry on with old traditions in funerals if they have no personal meaning. What are the individual's own wishes as apposed to what the traditions are was a great topic of discussion! Members asked what options they have if they want to have a non-traditionsl funeral and members mentioned starting a google doc of wants for a funeral.
Members also thought about how to honor their ...

Thematisch hatten wir wieder einen weiten Bogen: Von den Todesgöttinnen ging die Reise zu den Dingen, an die noch wenige gedacht ...
