Death Cafe write up: Third Death Cafe Footscray
Posted by PetaMurray on Sept. 29, 2015, 2:08 a.m.
This was the third, and for now, the last in a series of Death Cafes run at Footscray Community Arts Centre. This one was connected to the exhibition, embOLDen, and run as one of a range of activities offered on a day dedicated to Creative Ageing.
The group numbered about 16, and was significant for being comprised of women only. There were three nurses, and one nun! The oldest attendee was in her nineties, and the youngest was in her fifties.
As ever, wonderful generosity of spirit from all at the table, not to mention candour and cake!

This was an intimate gathering in the main gallery space of the Footscray Community Arts Centre. We were grateful for the contributions from all participants at the table. The passionfruit and banana cake seemed to go down a treat too.
There will be a third and final Death Cafe (in this series, anyway) on 26 September, in the same venue, at the same time.

We had a wonderful turnout for the Inaugural Footscray Death Cafe, held at the Happy River Cafe in the grounds of the Footscray Community Arts Centre.
Twenty guests filled the long table, and after a bit of an intro, and an acknowledgement of the fact that it was also Dying To Know Day, we broke into two groups for conversation. And coffee. And the all-important cake.....
It was a pleasure to host the event, and I am delighted to announce an intention to host two further Death Cafes at FCAC. These will be on Saturday 29 August and Saturday 26 September. Precise details will be posted here soon.
