SUMMARY:Cancelled - Compassionate Connector Training - March 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Compassionate Connector Program is a unique program that connects volunteers – Connectors – with people in the community who are over 65 living with life changing illness. As a connector you will emotionally support and help build social networks with your person\, as well as family and friends around them. This is a little different to traditional volunteering\, as an essential part of your support is to find additional supports in the persons community. This can be connecting with a neighbour\, helping connect with formal services\, or arranging for help in the persons existing network with everyday tasks like getting to appointments etc.   \nBecause of the unique character of this volunteering program\, in order to become a Connector\, the first step is to participate in our very enjoyable quality training before we match you with a participant. This training is complimentary and helps prepare you for the Connector experience. Importantly\, it also allows you to meet others like-minded and is the start of the ongoing support Proveda offers throughout your Connector experience.   \n  \nWhen: Thursday 5th March (10.30AM – 5.30PM) \nWhere:  Hornsby Library \n  \nWhat previous participants say  \n“Thoroughly enjoyed the day. The trainer was wonderful. She held the room well\, provided a safe and nurturing environment giving everyone a voice to share.”  – Simon \n“The content was very relevant. The pace was good. And the environment was respectful and supported.”  – Daniela  \n“Loved the way the facilitator could allow discussion to flow even if it meant changing the schedule.”  – Helen

We’re here to yell about life.\nJoin us for a heartfelt morning of storytelling\, tea\, and courageous conversation as we gently lift the veil on death and dying in the Blue Mountains. \nThis free community gathering is part of the national Dying to Know Day campaign – an annual invitation to bring death back into everyday conversation. Not with fear\, but with purpose\, love\, and a sense of legacy. \nThis year\, we’re shining a light on the power of intergenerational conversations.

Let’s change that – together.\n\nWe’ve gathered death care experts from across the Blue Mountains to offer insight\, practical advice\, and deep community knowledge on everything from paperwork to ceremony\, dying at home to burial options. \nWhether you’re planning ahead for yourself or caring for someone you love\, this event is here to empower you with knowledge\, remind you of your choices\, and help you connect with others doing the same. \nWhat to Expect\n📖 Real stories from local death care workers\n💬 Insight into wills\, funerals\, dying at home\, eco-burials\, and more\n🍰 A nourishing morning tea and chance to connect\n❓ A live panel Q&A with all speakers \n Sessions Include: \n1) Who Will Speak For Me? — What Happens When We Don’t Plan Ahead?\nWhy getting your affairs in order is one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones. We’ll explore wills\, Advance Care Directives\, substitute decision-makers\, and how to get clear on what you want—before crisis hits.\nWith Jude Warren – Palliative Care Worker\, Eco-Rest Advocate \n2) Home Is an Option — Reclaiming the Right to Die—and Mourn—at Home\nDid you know you have the legal right to die at home – or care for your person’s body at home after death? We’ll hear stories from families who have done just that\, and explore how death doulas and gentle planning can support this deeply personal choice.\nWith Sarah Barry – Mortality Doula & Funeral Celebrant \n3) Where Do I Go When I Die? – Your Body\, Your Choice: Blue Mountains Burial\, Cremation\, and More\nFrom eco-coffins and aquamation to traditional burials and cremation\, we’ll unpack your options—cost\, environmental impact\, and legal considerations included.\nWith Faye Woodward – Funeral Director \n4) Not Just a 40-Minute Slot – Funerals Without Limits: Ceremony Your Way\nYou don’t have to have a funeral – but here’s why you might want to. Discover how personal\, meaningful and creative ceremony can honour a life well lived – whether in a hall\, garden\, a bookshop\, or your own backyard.\nWith Amy Firth – Interfaith Minister & Funeral Director \n5) Let’s Keep Talking – What is a Death Café?\nA relaxed and open invitation to continue the conversation long after this event ends. Learn about local Death Cafés and how they’re helping people talk about death in warm\, welcoming\, and unexpectedly uplifting ways.\nWith Lisa Charnley – Death Doula & Death Café Host \nFollowed by a Q&A open session where we can practice having the difficult conversations and explore more deeply all the details you need to know. \nCome with your questions\, your curiosity\, and your appetite – for wisdom\, connection\, and cake. \nSpaces are free but limited\, so please book ahead.\n🎟️ Reserve your free place here \nBlue Mountains Compassionate Communities\nProudly delivered by Wentworth Healthcare\, Springwood Neighbourhood Centre Cooperative & Blue Mountains Death Care Collective \nSPEAKER BIOS: \nJude Warren is the Palliative Care Volunteer Coordinator at Belong Blue Mountains and the founder of Eco Rest\, a community space for exploring natural death care and conscious dying.

This training is complimentary and helps prepare you for the Connector experience. Importantly\, it also allows you to meet others like-minded and is the start of the ongoing support Proveda offers throughout your Connector experience.   \n  \nWhen: Tuesday 29th July (6pm-9pm) – Wednesday\, 30th July (9am – 4.30pm) \nWhere:  Newport Community Centre\, 11-13 The Boulevard\, Newport \n\n  \nWhat previous participants say  \n“Thoroughly enjoyed the day.

SUMMARY:Compassionate Workplace Forum
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT\nDo you know what to do or what to say if your employee tells you that their loved one has just died? Do you know what to do or what to say if your colleague experiences the death of a client? Did you know that most people in the workforce spend more time with their colleagues than their families and friends? \nHow our workplace community responds when times are difficult can radically shift a person’s relationship to their workplace. \nResearch has shown that compassionate workplace cultures can make a positive contribution by increasing morale\, supporting employee retention\, reducing absences and increasing productivity. \nJoin us in exploring how we can build compassionate workplaces across the northern Sydney region. Join us in this exciting and skills development workshop for insightful discussions on building friendships and strengthening communities.

SUMMARY:Hawkesbury's Dying to Know Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Please feel most welcome to join us at the beautiful mud brick building called ‘Earthcare’ located on the Cnr of Beef Cattle Road and Campus Drive at Hawkesbury’s UWS\, Richmond\, for Dying to Know Day 2024.  Aside of being simply human\, another thing we all have in common is that we are all going to die. The two most important aspects of life are birth and death…. what we do in between those very important markers\, is simply living life however we choose to do that.  So how have you prepared for your inevitable end?  Do you have ideas but don’t know how to implement them? Do you want something unique and different to the handover to a funeral home?  And what conversations have you had with your people about what you would like?  Do you have an advanced life care plan in place or are you just leaving it up to others to sort it out for you (because that’s really tough on those trying to grieve their loss).  Join us for open hearted conversations and awareness of options available to you and your families over morning tea.
