Annapolis Death Café II: Death Cakes a Holiday, Thurs. Dec. 12

            Thurs. Dec. 12, at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis, 333 Dubois Rd., Annapolis’ second Death Café will be preceded at 7PM with an optional meditation on the Buddhist Five Remembrances (of death and loss.) After self-service of cake and non-alcoholic beverages, participants will be seated at hosted café tables for talk of death.

            The international Death Café movement approved the Annapolis Death Café as meeting its goals of being “safe, nurturing, accessible, and nonideological” as well as “increasing awareness of death to help people make the most of their finite lives.” By August of 2013, there had already been over 2,000 Death Cafes in the US, and the first in East Asia were held this fall in Singapore and Japan.  Death Café is not support for recent grief, but a place where people may express feelings of loss which may arise during the holidays and know they will be accepted and heard.

            No charge. Offering bowls will be placed by refreshments. Info:  www.mpgannapolis.org or 410-268-9639. No outside literature or organizational efforts, just listening to each other.
