A Successful Marin Death Cafe!
A write up of Death Cafe Marin
By Nancy Rhine
Last night, I was so very privileged to host my first Death Cafe in Marin at the San Anselmo Interfaith Counseling Center.
We had 23 participants - mostly strangers to each other - who dove right in to sharing their deep and authentic stories, truths, courage and humor.
Thank you to all of the participants, my cohost Teresa, the folks who brought cake :^) and everybody who filled out surveys at the end. We met for two hours.
Thanks to Lizzy who is always so encouraging! We adhered to the Death Cafe guidelines which I love - no agenda, no set topic, no top-down presentations, etc. And the magic did happen.
The overwhelming consensus is can we please do this again soon?
Btw, our ages ranged from 90 years old to 46.
