THe fourth Swanage Death Cafe was as interesting, intriguing and informative as the previous three.
There were nine of us, four who had been at least once before, and five newbies.
The fact that Parliament was voting on an Assisted Dying bill as we spoke gave the event an added poignancy and at the closing check in everyone said 'lets do it again - so we will in the coming year.
Discussion ranged from experiences of close ones dying, managing family deaths, planning for 'a good funeral', psychedelic healing and more.
Completion sheets emphasised feelingg welcome, being heard and experiencing truth.
Andthe home made cake again hit the mark!

A slightly smaller group than previously met with Lucinda and Peter Neall in the friendly premisses of The Loft COmmunity Centre. Peter's homemade chocolate cake is becoming legendary!
As before there were a. couple of folk who had had no previous experience of a Death Cafe, they were surprised at their own honesty and the depth to which they quickly allowed themselves to go 'with complete strangers'.
As we get used to one another the conversation is less about others, and more intimate and I think, more healthy.
We will meet again in a month or so.

12 people met with Peter and Lucinda for Swanage 's second "Death Cafe on the afternoon of June 14th.
Four had attended the previous Cafe, one other had attended othe cafes in the UK. The rest were 'Newbies'
As before the discussion ranged widely with deeply personal disclosures and renewed feelings of hard times, particularly when the conversation touched on Child deprivation and young suicides.
The wide age range range of the attendees gave valuable experience for all of us and at the end there was a 100% request for Swanage Death Cafe to continue. WE will meet again in September.
Details to follow.
