Thank you all 11 attendants at today's meeting, the last of 2023! It was a chatty bunch once again, inspiring conversations, interesting views and a circle of open honest communication. What a wonderful group to belong to!
We are now breaking until February 24 and are also planning an additional "walk & talk" meeting at a local cemetery then. Bring your snack, drink (non-alcoholic!) and blanket or folding chair. We will walk first until we find the perfect spot for us to chat in the space of those who have gone before us!
Watch the space for announcements in January!
Meanwhile: have a very Merry Christmas and New ...

Our June meeting was as busy and chatty as the 2 previous ones. I start all meetings with lighting a candle and reading a short poem or piece of something and end it with another one. So pleased to see that this seems to be liked by attendants so much so somebody else has volunteered a this last meeting to read. Such a happy bunch talking about something the rest of the world out there seems to dread and miss out on!

This meeting saw 13 enthusiastic people rejoining. Most were repeat visitors and a few newcomers. We welcomed in particular a medical student who felt inspired by listening to those who might be looking on the other side of the fence of his services. He also shared new perspectives which kept the conversations very alive and interesting. Repeatedly I can see that one of the biggest issues in the conversations is the fear about legality around wishes at end of life being ignored or impossible to be reinforced. We feel we are seeing the beginning of a revolution around the choices for end of life. Death Cafe offers such ...

Heart-warming meeting with 15 people in attendance in our greatest little town in the Southern hemisphere with under 130,000  awesome people! Some others could not attend due to our timing of 10 am. A burning candle for the life light of the meeting.... Lots of laughter and a few tears too. People filled out evaluations and the general concensus was that it meets an overall need and that participants felt very comfortable and safe to talk and listened too. We will have the next one on 10th May.
