Enter into the fascinating world of dying & death, ritual & remembrance. First of all, talking about endings like death doesn’t bring it on.
It does the opposite. It provides us with the opportunity to debunk a whole lot of myths, to express concern about the medicalisation of life before death, and the industrialisation of life after death.
For those left standing and holding ‘the baby’, this is a time for clear heads and sound judgement.
Die-alogue Cafe is intended to be a meeting place for kindred spirits to talk about death before it becomes the next event on the agenda. In other words, getting ourselves prepared for the one event-uality that has a 10/10 success rate, makes a lot of sense. It should come as no surprise (see the quote below), because as sure as night follows day, it will come. Coming ready or not, to use the the old hide-n-seek phrase, is a dead certainty. Let’s not bury our heads in the sand or be in denial – to do so, makes life much more complicated and difficult than it needs to be.
Imagine this site as a kind of direction finder at what can be a difficult time. If you make up your mind to attend or run a Die-alogue Cafe, you will find it is a safe place to share and learn.
What can be a bumpy ride for the unprepared, is made smoother when we have the knowledge and emotional where-with-all to see us through these rough patches.
Die-alogue Cafe is where we serve up good company, good conversations, and good food for a good ending.
Explore the site – it is packed with all kinds of ideas to help tread the path of life as it relates to dying and death. If for some reason, you are thinking, well this is as far as I would like to go, then before you leave, read this one story that was written in 2013. Don’t let the year put you off. The content is as relevant today as it was then. It might just be what triggers a spark of curiosity and having dipped a toe in the water, so to speak, let’s us pock on a bit further up the road, to coin another phrase.
