Welcome to the next Death Cafe in Annascaul. It will take place  on Jan 31st 7pm . Our death cafe in Annascaul  usually happen 1 time per month> We come together to discuss matters of death. It is important to look at inspirational leaders and examine other cultures and even see what the philosophy of death entails 

This will be our 3rd year doing these and they are completely free where you come and have a cup of tea and a  slice of cake.  Feel free to check out the deathcafe web site for more information

It is amazing that people have an interest in talking ab out death , or maybe it isn’t. The tea and cake environment is very conducive to free and easy conversation. All welcome.

Below are some of the subject that we referred to and spoke of in the  last meeting.

We started talking about getting back to “normal” which people say when they have children or other life changing experiences.  ” oh I can’t wait to get back to normal”  but we forget that’s “now” is the New Normal. Sometimes you can’t get back to the old ways.

So I suppose from this is important to accept what is happening in one’s life right now.
We spoke of Bithántaíocht where we get to visit other people’s houses for past time and for gossip.

Being on a roll we got to Tiger and the Tao of Pooh. Benjamin Hoff being the author.. Many consider this an introduction to the Eastern belief system of Taoism for westerners.

We explored about being hurt when someone else is diagnosed with a disease.  So for example how hurt do I get when my loved ones have a series illness. 

These dead cafes do of course have a death theme in them,  but we are really just having fun discussing how we can enjoy ourselves more and be true to ourselves.

The format of these meeting come from the layout and criteria that deathcafe use. Feel free to check them out as they have some wonderful material on their site. The meetings are confidential, there is no agenda and no judgements are made . The Death Cafe is not a bereavement counselling forum. However it allows people a chance to openly talk about death and to be respectful of people’s ideas and points of view.
