Death Curious Darwin is a community led collective aiming to shed light on the topic of death and dying, and living a full and meaningful life. We provide a welcoming event space for open discussion and learning. Our goal is to share information for people to better understand their options at the end of life so they can make informed decisions about their health, body care, and ceremonies. Join us as we explore how to approach death with curiosity and compassion.
The group was founded in 2024 by Anneke Barnes, a community minded person offering end-of-life support and deathcare who organised and facilitated the sessions in 2024 and 2025. On Anneke's departure, DED members Sonja, Joan, Carmel and Meghan stepped in to continue the group and space for these conversations in 2026.
