Industry experts share their experience and knowledge in understanding the spectrum of emotions and situations from wellness through illness, palliative care, sudden or traumatic death, dying and bereavement and grief. This day, imbued with a gentle dose of humour, covers the legal, practical, realistic, emotional and sacred choices we can make about life and death.

Speakers include:

Lou Pollard, Clown Doctor

Graham Long, Wayside Chapel

Ken Hillman, author of A Good Life to the End

On the second day, Sunday 27th May (no cost),  there will be a Ceremony of Remembrance from 10-11:30 for those who wish to honour and remember the important people in our lives who have died, are dying or are lost to us. This service will offer solace through sharing our experiences of grief. The Honeybees Choir will be an integral part of the event, bringing their own gentle magic to the day.
