About this Death Cafe

“When we have learned to accept ourselves as part of the community of nature, then we can accept death as part of the natural order of things." Earnest Morgan

This month we will have our Death Cafe in a public space, at Rev Coffee & Tea on Warren St. in Hudson.  Try your best to arrive on time-- Looking forward to seeing you there!

Please email us if you have any questions @ columbiacountydeathcafeny@gmail.com

About Jo Scari

“I have a strong desire to be present for my fellow human beings in their times of need. Death is the most challenging process, and I aspire to contribute my spirit of support to walking through that journey with my fellow sentient beings. Therefore, I seek to cultivate a community of people who feel similarly un-intimidated by the topic of death and dying itself.

It is challenging to discuss our impermanence with the ones we love, but it is my opinion that our thoughts need to be spoken and explored.  It is also a gift to hear what other people have to share and through this dialogue, one might accomplish a way to navigate the topic and confront the conversation with our own self; my [our] life, my [our] dying and death.”  JoAnna

As a certified Death Midwife, Home-Funeral Guide, Funeral Celebrant, and trained Mortician (NY State), your facilitator is dedicated to creating a safe space to share in thought-provoking dialogue, and to provide resources to discuss the topic of death and dying.
