Hello death-talkers
We are moving back over this side of the hill for the next few death conversations. For our next DC I am hoping we can use the Boardroom at the Adventure Park (although this is not yet confirmed*). If we can use it, there will only be space for 8 or 9 of us.
Until the South Colombo Library re-opens we are bouncing around a variety of local cafes; its not always easy finding a warm quiet space for 10 - 20 people with good coffee and easy parking. But I am ever-optimistic!

• WHAT HAPPENS AT OUR DEATH CAFE?
It's a group-directed conversation about death and dying. Talking about death helps remind us of how precious life is.
We talk about all sorts of interesting death-related things; aging parents, death doulas, books we've read, death in different cultures, assisted dying, near death experiences (NDEs), philosophy, the meaning of life, and our own personal experiences to name a few. Each meeting is different - a reflection of the ever-changing mix of people on the day. There are often gasps of wonder and bursts of laughter.
We don't promote any particular conclusion, belief system or course of action. While we dont always agree with each other - we do aim to foster kindness and compassion.
Death Cafe is not a grief support. It is not for people who are recently bereaved or who are actively grieving. There are better support groups more suited to this.
• WHAT TO BRING
An open mind, curiousity, and a willingness to join in the conversation.
A koha towards the costs of running this site on Meetup is always appreciated. If cashless is easier - this is the account: Creatrix Limited 03-0830-0625413-000. Thankyou
