Six people attended this Death Cafe, all of them newbies to the experience. Most were either working in a related industry or had training in a related area and therefore felt very comfortable in the space. Lots of topics discussed and experiences shared in our kōrero, especially about advance care planning, natural burial, responses to expected deaths and sudden deaths, embalming versus other cooling methods, the confusion around legal paperwork and how to claim sovereignty of your own death care and bring it back into the domain of the community.

The conversation flows organically, the knowledge we share is phenomenal.

Thank you to Sheepworld Cafe for being amazing hosts too.
