SUMMARY:Linked to Life - ChiLL
DESCRIPTION:ChiLL is the acronym for Choices in Later Life\, a seminar program that invites participants to explore their options when planning for dying and death. Those who work in this area describe it as the last great taboo. They are concerned that lack of preparation causes unnecessary distress to the dying and leaves the bereaved with extra burdens.  We aim to confront fear and ignorance with information and resources that will better prepare everyone for one of life’s inevitabilities. \n  \nWe go beyond the familiar “making a will” and whether to be “cremated or buried” and introduce the subjects of: \n\nEnduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship\nAdvanced Care Planning and How to Assemble an Advanced Care Plan\nHow and where to lodge your Advanced Care Plan\nPreparing the Family and Other Carers\nTo Do List in preparation for Loss of Capacity or Dying\nPalliative Care – What it is and isn’t and how to access it\nWhat happens when someone is dying\nVoluntary Assisted Dying – What it is and isn’t and how to access it\nDeath Doula services including Local Resources\nOrgan Donation\nFuneral Planning and How to Celebrate a Life\nGetting on with your life after the Death of a Partner\nBereavement and Bereavement Resources\n\nThe emphasis throughout is about how to access the resources\, services and people that assist in these tasks.

You’ll create a personal collage artwork and contribute to the decoration of a Daisy Box cardboard casket — a symbolic act of collective care and reflection.\nNo art experience needed — just curiosity and heart. \n📝 12.30pm – 2pm | Memento Mori Death Slam Workshop with Pixie Willo\nFacilitated by queer poet and creative arts therapist Pixie Willo\, this writing and performance workshop invites you to transform your reflections on death and grief into powerful slam poetry. Write your own eulogy\, honour someone you’ve loved and lost\, or explore what it means to face endings with openness.\nYou’ll have the option to share your piece in a supportive space — and with consent\, your words can become part of the collaborative casket installation. \n☕ 2:30pm – 4:30pm | Cark It Café — A Death Café with a Twist\nSettle in with a cuppa for an open-hearted conversation\, not a counselling session. Death Cafés are about sharing experiences\, reflections\, and thoughts around death in a safe\, non-judgemental space. \nAt this Cark It Café\, we’re adding our own twist — guest speakers who bring insight\, lived experience\, and practical knowledge to help us navigate the often-avoided topic of death and dying. \nYou’ll hear from: \n\nZoe Hinton from ACON’s LOVE Project\, offering tools and information from the Taking Control Toolkit — a vital resource for older LGBTIQ+ folks and people living with HIV.\nScott Read from Palliative Care NSW\, a queer nurse and passionate advocate for person-centred end-of-life care\, drawing from both clinical and personal experience.\nPlus more…\n\nHolding Space at Cark It Café\nWe’re joined by Jude Tynan (she/they)\, a skilled and compassionate Mental Health Social Worker and Family Therapist.\nJude specialises in working with the LGBTIQ+ community\, survivors of adult and childhood trauma\, complex family dynamics\, and relationship difficulties. \nFrom 10:00am–4:30pm\, Jude will be there to simply sit\, listen\, and hold space.\nLearn more: opendialogue.com.au/jude-tynan \nThis is a space for connection and dialogue — whether you’re here to listen\, speak\, or simply be in community. \n🎟️ Workshops are ticketed — from single tickets to day packages.\nNobody will be turned away for lack of funds — please email Jewelz at carkitcafe@gmail.com to make arrangements. \n☕ The Death Café is FREE\, but you must register to attend.
