It can be hard to know where to begin! \nIn the lead up to Dying To Know Day\, the team from Belong Club and Dying To Know will run this 2 hour\, online workshop that will help you pull it all together and explore end-of-life planning in an engaging\, accessible way.

Preparing in advance can bring peace of mind and ensure that your personal and financial affairs are in order. It’s never too early to make informed decisions\, giving you control over your legacy and easing the burden on your loved ones.   \nJoin us for 10 Things to Know Before You Go to learn more about how to approach these important decisions with confidence.  \n\n  URL:https://proveda.com.au/event/ten-things-to-know-before-you-go-3/ LOCATION:https://proveda.com.au/event/ten-things-to-know-before-you-go-3/ CATEGORIES:10 Things to Know Before You Go,Belong Club,Dying To Know Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://proveda.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/BC-Event-10-Things-To-Know-WEB.png ORGANIZER;CN="Proveda":MAILTO:events@proveda.com.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20250802T140000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20250802T153000 DTSTAMP:20260418T111915 CREATED:20250702T022342Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250729T032651Z UID:10006026-1754143200-1754148600@proveda.com.au SUMMARY:Kingston Death Cafe DESCRIPTION:A Death Cafe is an invitation to get together to explore how anything relating to Death and Dying might be ‘understood differently’ … more naturally.

A gathering where people come together to discuss death and dying in a relaxed\, informal setting\, often over refreshments like tea and cake. It’s not a bereavement support group or counseling session\, but rather a space for open\, non-judgmental conversations about mortality\, end-of-life planning\, and related topics. The goal is to increase awareness of death to help people live more fully in the present. \nDying to Know Day has been a national day of action since 2013\, originally on August 8 extending throughout the month of August. Hundreds of hosts around Australia hold gatherings aimed to normalise conversations about death\, dying and grief\, encouraging individuals to learn about\, discuss\, and plan for their own end-of-life\, and to support others in doing the same. We welcome these meaningful conversations in any location or setting. \nBring a cuppa and enjoy a sweet treat on us this Dying to Know Day (eve). \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Registration has filled for this event.
