Death Cafe
Following up several held in person Death Cafes, mainly in Bali, I hold zoom sessions so more people can attend from different parts of the world. Grief and Mourning are not restricted to a certain area but are rather a global theme.
Death and Dying are not on our radar until they are. So this offering might not be significant to you in this moment of your life. But perhaps you know someone who is going through this initiation right now and don’t know how to help, or know someone who has been struggling with the loss of someone for sometime. This is a good place to send them to.
It is a space of love and care and shared sorrow.
Once we have been suddenly or even expectedly been acquainted with the loss of someone significant to us, or the loss of someone who was significant to someone we care about, we are in a new era of our life. It is in deed an initiation, a complete shift in our perspective on life and our identity.
Grief can be a very isolating and lonely experience because light laughter or some ordinary humour are something that suddenly feels like something we can never experience again. And this can be a very deep and new experience.
For this reason I hold these groups. We want to talk about Death, hear the experiences of others, break the taboos on sharing the depths of life in this way and we want to do so, in a safe and confidential space.
There is no timeline in grief, grief can be all consuming and feel never ending…
