October 2025 Death Cafe Event at UUCOV
A write up of Death Cafe Venice FL - An Important Conversation
This event was as meaningful as ever. We had 11 people, yet each person had a chance to talk when moved to contribute.
The group consisted mainly of Unitarian Universalist members (from Venice, FL), but these meetings are open to all.
We begin by centering ourselves and bringing our thoughts to the [often difficult] topic of death, dying, our beliefs and discoveries. We shared local experiences. It was great having this even in October - a month of celebrating death and renewal.
After the event, some let me know that they'd like more information about a Green Burial, or other related topics.
I'm happy to oblige; I am an End of Life Doula and Retired Librarian and know that credible sources of information are essential for considerations and planning.
I look forward to the next Quarterly Death Cafe event at UUCOV (Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Venice) at the end of January, as we might consider how the New Year brings us ideas and creative ways to think about our mortality, and hopefully, to reduce the fear and prepare us for the inevitable.
