From Wikipedia: What is a Death Cafe?

A Death Cafe is a scheduled non-profit get-together for the purpose of talking about death (and in our case, death from A Course in Miracles point of view).

The Death Cafe is not a physical location but an event. The participants are free to discuss their understanding, thoughts, dreams, fears and any other aspects of death and dying. The Death Cafe website, created by Jon Underwood, states the purpose is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives”.

Facilitators have said that there is “a need among people to open the closet into which death, the last taboo, has been placed.” Underwood said that “we have lost control of one of the most significant events we ever have to face.”

Death Cafes have helped to relax the taboo of speaking about death, particularly with strangers, and encouraged people to express their own wishes for when and after they die.

The open-ended discussions also provide an avenue to express thoughts about one’s own life, sometimes stirred up by the death of a family member…

In summary, a death cafe is a non-profit gathering of people who meet in a safe, non-judgmental space to discuss death, dying, and grief. The goal is to promote understanding and acceptance of death as a natural part of life, and to help people make the most of their lives. Death cafes are not intended to be grief support or counseling, and they are not focused on any specific topic. Instead, they provide an opportunity for people to share their thoughts, fears, and questions about death, and to normalize the conversation around the subject. 

 

Lyn Corona & Friends:

  An Online “ACIM Death Cafe”

10-11:30am Mt. Time

Every Tuesday we discuss a particular ACIM passage on the ego’s thought system of death, and how we release our belief in death thru practicing the forgiveness process in  A Course in Miracles  (ACIM).

---

** These Tuesday classes are only recommended for students who have regularly studied Ken Wapnick’s teachings on ACIM and death, and who have been practicing forgiveness as described in ACIM…  for at least six months.

The world has everything backwards…  It operates on the premise that one’s own interests are separate from everyone else’s. Everything is evaluated on the basis of whether we get what we think we want, and keep away what we don’t. If we do we are “happy”; if we don’t we are miserable.

A Course in Miracles attempts to undo this selfish point of view by teaching us shared interests. The sole qualification of a teacher of God is that he has made a deliberate choice not to see his interests apart from someone else’s at the level of mind. We share the ego’s selfish interest of individual autonomy and existence in our wrong minds. We also share the Holy Spirit’s way out of this made up self condemnation through forgiveness in our right minds.

Lyn’s insightful exploration of the Course helps us become aware of the Course’s understanding of our only two shared interests that we all have. We will focus on how we let go of one (the ego and its thought system of death), and then progress toward the other (the Holy Spirit and its awareness of our true Identity and eternal Life as God’s One Son).

Lyn Corona began her study of A Course in Miracles in 1976 and has been teaching its message of peace through forgiveness for about 50 years.

She is a founder and president of the School for A Course in Miracles.
