In Memory of Ordinary Things

Our memorial program is open to all members of the community, extending a heartfelt invitation to anyone who wishes to participate. At its core, this event will be a gentle and healing gathering, encouraging individuals to bring an item that holds a special connection to their cherished memories of a lost loved one. Through various activities and opportunities for sharing, we aim to foster a sense of togetherness, remembrance, and catharsis.

Key Features:

1. Sharing Circles: Attendees will have the chance to share their stories and the significance of their chosen items within supportive sharing circles, creating an atmosphere of empathy and mutual understanding.
2. Photography Booth: A dedicated photography booth will allow participants to capture the essence of their connection with the memory item, offering them a tangible keepsake to cherish.
3. Refreshments: The event will provide a coffee van and afternoon tea, creating an inviting space for conversation, reflection, and bonding over a warm beverage and snacks.
4. Singing to Heal: A soothing "Singing to Heal" session will provide a musical, therapeutic experience, helping participants find emotional release and comfort through the power of song.
5. Live Music: Live music will accompany the event, enhancing the atmosphere with melodies that resonate with the emotions of the day, further facilitating the healing process.
6. Conversation Pits: Strategically placed around the Tuart College campus, these conversation pits will promote community connection and shared understanding of grief, encouraging attendees to engage in compassionate conversations and offering a sense of awareness and support.

This event will provide a safe space to have conversations about grief and loss with a compassionate community of people with a lived experience.  All are welcome.  Donations are greatly appreciated.
