Background:
The Good Grief Lounge is a safe, embracing place to talk about death and dying, to listen, learn and share with people who care in a relaxed environment with music, morning tea and a couple of talks.

The purpose of the events is to inform, reduce fear of end of life, to turn around denial and celebrate death as part of life.  This event is a follow-on from the Good Grief events at the 2025 Castlemaine Fringe Festival held monthly on the first Saturday of each month. 

Detailed Advance Care Plan booklets are available at the Lounges for $20.
