🌿 A Conversation Our Community Is Ready For 🌿
You may have seen the recent news article highlighting the upcoming visit from internationally recognised author and storyteller Kevin Toolis — and we’re excited to be bringing this important conversation to our community.
Kevin speaks about something we often avoid…
death, dying, and how we care for one another at the end of life.
But this isn’t heavy or clinical.
It’s human, honest, and deeply meaningful.
✨ Join us to:
• Reflect on how we talk about death and dying
• Understand why the last days of life matter so much to families
• Explore how we can better support each other
Whether you’re a health professional, volunteer, carer, or simply curious — this conversation is for everyone.
