Death & Dying Matters workshop invitation

Added by editor, on July 15th, 2013

 10am – 4pm, July 16

Armidale RSL

Death is a natural & sacred end to our lives. We know our deaths are certain, but the time & place after often uncertain. It is sensible & prudent to be prepared, just like we are in other aspects of our lives.

This workshop is for you if you would like to:

  • Understand & simplify the death & dying process
  • Talk with people you love or care for about their needs & wishes, so they are clear & can be followed
  • Become more active & involved in what happens before, during & after a death
  • Create a more meaningful funeral to honour & celebrate a life lived
  • Assist yourself & others to have an easier & healthier bereavement
  • Feel more able, useful & confident in the work you do in relation to death & dying, in a community or medical setting

This workshop was developed to demystify some lies, misconceptions & beliefs around dying, death & funerals & to outline rights & choices in relation to these things. They are designed to empower by providing practical information to help people make considered choices.

Presenters:

Zenith Virago is a pioneer & expert in the fields of holistic death & dying, with 20 years experience.
