A class of mine this semester is an "Exploration of Death." I'm encouraged to break the silence and separation of death from the consciousness of the living.

I've been hearing about Death Cafés for a while. People gathering for conversations about death in each other's homes, or literally in cafes, starting out as strangers in many cases but quickly finding intimacy in the all-too-human stories that emerge from engaging this powerful subject. Know...

Doug, Thank you. I'll send an email.
Laurie, What a wonderful practice! Tibetan bells, when I hear them, seem to cut through the external and internal "noise clutter" I may be experiencing and help me to be more present. If that is what it brings to your gathering, I see it very much as a practice of concentration - and love. Cindy
Love and The Art of Convening
