Anyone who is curious about dying and death is welcome. \nAre you looking for a safe place to share your thoughts\, ask questions\, and hear what others say? At our long-running  O.C. Virtual Death Cafe\, we welcome all opinions and topics\, provided the guidelines that keep the discussions safe and accessible are respected. Please RSVP to: melissa@lastactsoflove.com for the Zoom link or more information. \nThe History of the OC Virtual Death Cafe\nSouthern California resident and end-of-life doula Linda Barnard co-hosted the first Orange County Death Cafe in October 2021 with veteran San Diego Death Cafe host\, Dr. Mitsuo “Mits” Tomita. What started as a mid-COVID monthly meetup has continued to flourish as a virtual monthly discussion. Linda continued to host the Orange County Death Cafe after Mits was unavailable to co-host monthly. Linda decided to step down as host in September 2024. \nIn October 2024\, Linda asked San Diego Virtual Death Cafe host Melissa ‘Mel’ McClave to take over hosting duties of the Orange County Death Cafe. Mel made the Orange County Death Cafe a permanent virtual meeting and changed the name to OC Virtual Death Cafe. \nDeathwork in Orange County California\nFor over 100 years\, the residents of Orange County\, California have thoughtfully cared for their dead. Orange County is home to about one million residents\, all of whom will die. The ethnic diversity of the county requires a thoughtful approach to cultural rituals and modern legacy options. \nLeisure World in Seal Beach and Laguna Hills are Orange County’s premiere retirement communties. Residents of Lesiure World buy into their community knowing that it will be their home at the end of life. Residents are serviced nearby mortuaries and cemeteries. \nIn May 2024\, Barbara McMurray founded the Orange County Deathworkers Alliance to bring together traditional and new-age practicioners of end-of-life care providers. The alliance currently includes caregiver services\, end-of-life doulas\, physicians\, memorial artists\, and authors who write extensively on end of life topics. \n  \n  \nOrange County CA\, USA OC Virtual Death Cafe The first Tuesday of the month 4:30-6 PM (PT) rsvp melissa@lastactsoflove.com\n

SUMMARY:Vista Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the final Vista Death Cafe of 2025 on Wednesday\, December 10th\, at the Vista Senior Center in Vista\, California. \nThe Vista Death Cafe meets in person at 1 PM on the second Wednesday of every month. The Vista Death Cafe started in August 2025.  Despite having to coordinate schedules with the very active Vista senior community\, Mel McClave eventually found a time and space to accommodate all. \nWhat is a Death Cafe?\nDo you have an interest in the subject of dying and death? Are you looking for a safe space to share your thoughts\, ask questions\, and hear what others say? At this Death Cafe\, we welcome all opinions and topics\, provided they follow a few rules that keep the discussions safe and accessible. You are certainly welcome to join us for quality conversations around dying and death. \nThe purpose of this Death Cafe is “ to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their finite lives.” We use this time to discuss dying and death with no expectations\, agendas\, themes\, or promotions. \nDeath Cafes are a worldwide phenomenon.  Jon Underwood launched and hosted Death Cafes in London from 2011 until his death from cancer in 2017. He modeled them after Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz’s “Café Mortale.” In 2012\, Lizzy Miles hosted the first Death Cafe in the US in Columbus\, Ohio. \nDeath Cafes and DeathCafe.com are hosted by volunteers and are always FREE to attend.  The guidelines that govern Death Cafes are the vision of Jon Underwood to keep the conversation welcoming and free from personal debate. Attending Death Cafes brings you into a space that allows for an exchange of ideas without the pressure of conforming.  Some Death Cafes ask for donations. Consequently\, if you feel the need to donate\, please donate directly to this Death Cafe or directly to DeathCafe.com. \nLearn more about the Death Cafes hosted by Mel\, here.  \nVista Death Cafe
