School for A Course In Miracles
"The universe of learning will open up before you."
==
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.
