Indian River County Death Cafe'
A write up of Indian River County Death Cafe

Well, we have met again. This evening was a chilly night for the Sebastian Florida area. We had a group of six, five women and one man. This was our first evening meeting at the local library. The environment was quiet and comfortably warm. A happy skull with a hat and sunglasses has become our mascot, we call him D.C.. This in and of itself livened up the conversation. Was it ghoulish and/or disrespectful to have such a centerpiece. We discussed life and death as a continuum, not a black and white cut off. The discussion of near death experience was revisited. Each expressed some type of communication from our deceased counterparts. An examination of the reluctance to discuss such experiences ensued. We continue to battle the lines of death, bereavement, grief and religion that color our knowledge bases. As always a lively, open, respectful atmosphere of knowledge exchange. The learning and sharing never stops.
