An Amazing
A write up of East Hawaii Death Cafe
Wow. We had a wonderful turnout at our very first East Hawaii Death Cafe on May 6, 2025!
It was heartening to see so many people—new faces and familiar ones—gather with open hearts and curious minds. We shared stories, asked thoughtful questions, and held space for one another in the most gentle, authentic way.
There’s something profoundly human about sitting in a circle and talking openly about death: our fears, our hopes, the unfinished business, and the surprising gifts grief can bring. It was clear that when we break the silence around death, we also breathe life into our communities.
Mahalo to everyone who showed up with courage and compassion. Whether you spoke or simply listened, your presence mattered. We are honored to be a part of this growing circle of truth-tellers and heart-holders.
A special mahalo to the Center for Spiritual Living for allowing us the opportunity to meet in their beautiful sanctuary. Rev. Bev was so kind and welcoming—it truly set the tone for a warm and safe space to share.
The next Death Cafe is currently in discussion. Once a date has been set, we will share it here. Stay tuned—and until then, keep the conversations going!
