SUMMARY:The Unholy Trinity of Music\, Death and Politics
DESCRIPTION:This one-of-a-kind comedy show will have you laughing at life’s darkest and most ridiculous realities\, featuring three unlikely performers who know their stuff. Stell Muses\, a real-life death doula\, will take you on a hilarious journey through the end of life\, proving that even death has its lighter side. Seany Boy\, an aspiring politician\, delivers the inside scoop on the absurdities of government with sharp humour that hits close to home. And rounding out the trio is Nathan\, a musical comedian by night and IT nerd by day\, using his guitar to deliver side-splitting songs that combine tech geekery with catchy tunes. \nThere’s no better way to laugh about death than from a death doula\, to chuckle about politics than from a politician\, and to enjoy hilarious songs than from an IT guy with a guitar. Join us for a show that promises to be funny\, thought-provoking\, and wildly entertaining. \nDon’t miss “The Unholy Trinity of Music\, Death\, and Politics” —a night where no topic is off-limits\, and the laughs are guaranteed.

SUMMARY:NDAN present... Momento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better Life
DESCRIPTION:Many of us in the contemporary Western world view death as purely negative—something to be pushed out of our minds\, shunned\, and avoided. Thinking about death\, particularly one’s own\, is seen as morbid\, if not downright pathological. But\, not long ago\, contemplating death was widely used as a powerful tool that helped us fear mortality less\, put the difficulties of our lives in perspective\, and live according to our higher values. (It still is\, in some places.) By coming to terms with our own death\, we were understood to become wise. \nThis richly illustrated talk—based on Morbid Anatomy founder’s new book Memento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better Life\, will look at a number of the ways that people in different times and places have befriended\, imagined\, pictured or related to death. We will look at psychopomps—literally\, “soul guides”—understood to help people move through the dying process. We will learn about the “books of the dead\,” guides to preparing for a good death and afterlife experience. And we will investigate the memento mori (Latin for “remember you must die”)\, which are objects\, works\, or practices meant to remind one of their death in order to help them ascertain their true values\, and live them out in the world\, so as to die with the fewest deathbed regrets. \nJoanna Ebenstein is the founder and creative director of Morbid Anatomy\, an internationally recognized death expert\, award-winning curator\, photographer\, graphic designer\, and teacher. \nThe Natural Death Advocacy Network (NDAN) is a growing Australian network and advocacy partnership of community facilitators\, professionals\, activists\, and educators\, working within the field of end of life\, dying\, and death. \n\nDate\nSaturday 9 August 2025 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM (UTC+10)\n\n\nLocation\n\n\nOnline event access details will be provided by the event organiser

We’ll cover the more personal and meaningful parts of your legacy — with the legal stuff coming in the next two sessions.\n\nYour host\, Erin\, hopes you leave feeling inspired by the multitude of end of life possibilities – we have more choice and control than we are led to believe! You’ll also be more empowered and equipped to have conversations with the people most important to you about your unique choices and wishes for your end-of-life.\n\nPlease note Erin will be talking openly about death and dying. If you are not feeling resourced in yourself\, that’s ok\, perhaps skip this session out.

SUMMARY:Financial Support Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Breast Cancer Care WA is proud to host this informative\, pragmatic webinar with experienced oncology social worker\, Shirley Witco. \nCancer and ongoing treatment can place financial barriers and cause extra financial strain in a person’s life. Even more so for people living in rural and remote locations. Shirley will discuss potential options for income and assistance and how to access these. This will include Centrelink\, superannuation and insurance\, financial grants\, charities and emergency relief. While everyone who is interested is welcome to attend\, this webinar will be most relevant for people living with metastatic/advanced cancer\, their loved ones\, and health professionals. \nShirley has been a health social worker since completing her Bachelor of Social Work in 2005 and has spent the majority of her career to date working in cancer care. She worked for 15 years at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth supporting cancer patients and their families in the inpatient and outpatient settings. Shirley moved regionally in 2021\, taking the role of the senior social worker with the Kimberley Integrated Cancer Service team. Based in Broome\, she supports patients and families from around the Kimberley region through treatment (delivered locally and travelling to Perth) and into survivorship/surveillance. \nShirley is also an active member of Oncology Social Work Australia New Zealand (OSWANZ) which is an organisation supporting and educating social workers to enhance psychosocial services to people with cancer and their families. \n
