ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
This interactive presentation and discussion explores practical aspects of death, dying, end of life and after-death care. It reflects the reality that, when it comes to these subjects, we often simply don’t know what we don’t know.
Drawing on Angela’s experience facilitating Death Café-style conversations and community events, the session explores questions, concerns and topics that are frequently raised when people begin talking openly about death, dying and end-of-life matters. The workshop offers clear, practical information designed to increase awareness, confidence and preparedness.
There will be opportunities for discussion and Q&A throughout the session. The information provided is general and educational in nature and does not constitute medical, legal or financial advice.
Participants will also receive a take-home resource pack with useful information relating to the topics discussed.
Facilitated by Angela Mizinska, Death Doula and Death Literacy Educator.
This is a very interactive session, and the content is drawn from the questions, concerns and topics most frequently raised during the many Death Cafe-style conversations and community events that Angela has facilitated.
Participants will gain practical information and have the opportunity to ask questions about topics many people don’t realise they need to understand until they are faced with a death – it really is a case of “you don’t know what you don’t know”.
