Death Cafe with Death - Sharon Stewart
Tuesday 1.30pm - 3pm Heart Chakra - Big Tent
Death is inevitable. So, why is it so hard to talk about it? As a society, we need to start talking about death as much as we do about life. We need to have comfortable conversations about dying, about death as a natural process and about living out our last wishes. But who knows what those last wishes are if you don’t talk about dying? Let’s start making that change by getting you more comfortable talking about death. Join me as I provide you with an easy and entertaining way to think and yes, talk about what’s important to you in making end of life choices. Believe me, talking about death won’t make it happen to you – if it did, I’d have died a long time ago!

Supporting the Griever- Sharon Stewart
Wednesday 1:30pm - 3:00pm - Heart Chakra - Big Tent
Healing from grief is not easy. Death, divorce, sickness, injury, and destruction are among the list of tragedies where people find themselves needing support in their grief. It’s often a long, sometimes quite painful process experienced in so many ways; emotional, physical and spiritual and unique to each person. Experts agree that the single most important factor in healing from tragedies is the support of other people. Providing comfort through words isn’t nearly as helpful as providing support by being willing to offer concrete ways that you can help. As a friend, family member or just a compassionate person you have the skills you need to support a griever, come see how.
