The purpose of a Virtual Death Cafe is to talk about our thoughts, fears and hopes around life's ending. This is not therapy, we're just chatting about what matters to us, sharing experiences, and exploring death's meaning for life.

A Virtual Community Connector Training is all about connections! We learn more about the compassionate community database model NicBluCaresNOW.com and how to connect or ‘bridge’ people to resources. We also explore the power of other connections - to self, nature, beauty, gratitude. These connections contribute to our becoming a stronger container for ‘holding space’ - to receive the stories and suffering of others without judgment or needing to fix. To acknowledge another’s story of loss or suffering in this way is the definition of compassion.
