About this Death Cafe
Join us on December 7 at Discovery Green to talk about that thing we never talk about! We love thoughtful conversation and generally prefer questions to answers. Stuart and I met recently in the process of exploring possible collaborations for the Institute for Spirituality and Health (ISH) and Dawn Mountain Tibetan Buddhist Center, and when I stumbled upon the Death Cafe website I thought he would be the perfect partner for convening what looks like it will be Houston's first Death Cafe. We look forward to getting this conversation going!
