Stimulating & Open Conversation
A write up of Low Country Death Cafe
The main library in downtown Charleston was a new (and welcome!) venue for the Low Country Death Cafe. We numbered 16 and our roundtable discussion flowed from the get-go. Half of the participants were past attendees, with the rest new to the Cafe. We had a few more young people join us this time, which further expanded the dialogue.
Comments were very positive/helpful with several suggestions: Better to meet on a Thursday evening, rather than a Monday. Start scheduling a calendar of future Cafes. Limit introductions to a few minutes each. Introduce a few topics to encourage continued indepth discussion.
I sense the Death Cafe is gaining traction here in Charleston!
