SUMMARY:Embracing Life and Death discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join local end-of-life doulas for an open and supportive discussion on life\, loss\, death and dying. \nFree to attend. Tea\, coffee and cake provided. \nIn a nod to Halloween\, which originated from the Celtic festival of Samhain – when the Celts believed the boundary between the living and the dead was thinnest\, we invite you to bring a memento (or just a memory) of someone who has crossed the veil. \nThis group provides a safe and welcoming space to talk about death and dying as a normal part of life. Discussion topics will be group-led and involve sharing stories. Please note this group does not provide bereavement support or grief counselling. \nAll are welcome but places are limited.

SUMMARY:"Life and Deathlessness\, in the Wisdom-Teaching of Avatar Adi Da Samraj"
DESCRIPTION:Have you wondered about the meaning of life and death? How does the inescapable fact of death affect how we live now? This evening is an opportunity to consider the nature of conditional life – and of what Adi Da calls Deathlessness (the Truth of our Real\, Prior Condition\, beyond birth and death).Avatar Adi Da Samraj (1939-2008) devoted His life to the Realisation and communication of Truth—what He calls the “Bright”\, or the Indivisible Reality in which we all appear. His book Easy Death was praised as “a masterpiece” by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.Our offering will include:· video clips of Adi Da Speaking· readings from His Texts· a walk through a website that offers free webinars and practical resources on death and dying\, and breakout sharing time.Register now to reserve your place\, get the address and receive Text extracts and useful links.\nOnly a fraction of the Whole can pass away in any moment\, since only a fraction of the Whole appears in any moment.Therefore\, the True Divine Heart is Always Already Full of Love and More-than-Wonder. – Adi Da Samraj\, Easy Death.

SUMMARY:Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:A Death Café is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda\, objectives or themes. People\, often strangers\, gather to eat cake\, drink tea and discuss death. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session. The purpose of holding a Death Café is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.

SUMMARY:The Last Ecstatic Days Film Premiere + Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Join good.film for the highly anticipated Australian film premiere screening of The Last Ecstatic Days\, followed by a thought-provoking discussion with the filmmakers and leading Australian end-of-life experts. \nEthan Sisser\, a young man with terminal brain cancer\, sits alone in his hospital room.

DESCRIPTION:Curious about the big questions in life? Join us at a penthouse in Ultimo\, a 10 minute walk from UTS for a special Death Café event\, exclusively for young adults aged 18-25\, as part of our annual Dying to Know Day campaign. In this open\, respectful\, and confidential space\, you’ll have the opportunity to express your thoughts and feelings about life and death. Facilitated by experienced members of our team\, Carolyn and Jordan\, this event encourages meaningful conversation on mortality\, loss\, and grief over some light refreshments. \nWhether you want to share your experiences\, ask questions or simply listen\, everyone is welcome. Life\, death and everything in between. Connect with other young adults over topics that we all experience but rarely have open conversations about. Refreshments will be provided. \nLet’s come together to break the taboo and build a community where talking about death is a normal and healthy part of life. We look forward to seeing you there! \nNote \nThis event is not a counseling session or support group. It is a space for open discussion and shared experiences.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk About Death and Dying - Mornington Peninsula
