What brings you to Death Cafe?
What brings me to this Death Cafe worldwide movement, is my hope in engaging in open conversations in my community that it's not taboo, the devil's work, it's talking about the inevitable we all will face one day. It's discussing freely, your beliefs, open conversation where this SPACE is scared, and a supportative enviroment. Let's eat cake, drink something warming to the heart, or wine. Know that whatever weighs on your heart today, however big or small it might feel in comparison to others, it is real and it matters, you are safe.
What would you like your legacy to be?
Giving Love to yourself, so you can love the all
Planting a seed is believing in tomorrow
Be Humble
Be Amazing
Be Strong
Take the Chance
Trust your Gut
Ask yourself first, then sit and listen
Take your shoes off and walk the forrest
Thoughts for sharing:
Your last season should not look like a maze!
“End of life" is not a dress rehearsal. After all, we will all be touched by it at some point in our lives. We must do better to make end of life be the natural, sacred experience it is meant to be.
