Before You Go – A Gold Coast Compassionate Communities D2KD Event

Join us for an inspiring in-person event where we delve into the questions many long to ask ‘before you go.’ Be part of engaging discussions and activities that explore the transformative effects of kindness in planning and preparing for a life lived well before we go. Discover how being part of a compassionate community can create a ripple effect, positively impacting individuals and communities alike.

This event promises to be a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for spreading kindness at all stages in our lives, especially in the preparation for end of life. Hear from renowned speakers as part of our human library, participate in thought-provoking discussions, and gain valuable insights into the immense power of this simple yet profound virtue.

As part of our human library come and borrow:

• Annie McGrath: End of Life Doula
• Bronwyn Chales: Process Therapist and Social Worker – Specialising in supporting people at times of sudden death
• Caroline Tremayne: Integral Sound Healer: The power of sound in living well and dying well
• Emma Beattie, grief work and story telling
• Liz Miller – Near Death experiencer

• Karen Lucas, Funeral Director
• Along with a range of service providers from across South East Queensland including Ethnic Communities Council Queensland, Gold Coast Health, Gold Coast Women Cancer Support Network, Hopewell Hospice, Home Instead, Multicultural Communities Council Gold Coast, and many others.
