Canton NY Death Cafe
A write up of Death Cafe in Canton New York
By Linda Potter
We held our first Death Cafe on January 20th with 36 people. I sat them at tables of 6 and after the welcome and a review of the principles, I had them start off. People seemed eager to talk and as far as I could observe, each person had plenty of time to speak. After 40 minutes, I rang a bell and invited people to get coffee or tea and some cake (devil's food or angel food) and then to sit down with a new group of six for a new conversation. People indicated that they liked that model and the chance to hear from others. Words that came up on numerous evaluations to describe the cafe were "enlightening, refreshing, comfortable". We will be holding our second in April 2015.
