Death Cafe Brisbane #2
A write up of Death Cafe Brisbane #2
Three groups of four and five gathered to talk at our second Death Cafe Brisbane held recently.
So many different topics! Some were healing, some filled with information sharing, some just general conversation, but to walk away having had open conversation around death was most enlightening.
Death Cafe Brisbane held our second evening of chatting, the organising team having modified a few things from their first experience, but in general it was similar - well prepared food, music, conversation and beautiful chocolate cake in the shape of a coffin.
This time, rather than a hearse, an exhibition of beautifully captured photos from various graves featured around the walls.
To conclude the sharing of the evening, a wonderful candle ceremony in dimmed light added a gentle full stop to proceedings.
The exquisite coffin cake was cut revealing luscious chocolate to be enjoyed as guests wound of their conversations for the evening.
A couple of comments from the evening…
“great to see and hear other’s perspectives”
“my perspective is developing on death along positive lines”
“the variety of conversations and experiences gives a broader insight into life…”
2014 will bring further cafes, with more variety, more people, some to be held during the day as well as evening.
Merry Christmas to you all.

Should we have a "Flash Mob" to advertise the next Death Cafe? Might be fun.

I find this very odd...... A coffin cake.. Honesty..... What's next... Afternoon tea in a crematorium.
