It's Cool to Talk Grief 26

It’s Cool to Talk Grief 2026
Now in its fourth year

Reaching this milestone is incredibly meaningful. What began as a simple idea - to create space for open and honest conversations about grief - has evolved into a deeply connected and thoughtfully curated experience shaped by shared stories and lived experience.

On Saturday, 5 September 2026, you are invited to join us at Bergen Toowoomba for an intimate luncheon designed to feel warm, welcoming and considered.

Across the afternoon, four guest speakers will courageously share their personal experiences of grief. Their stories offer diverse and honest perspectives, acknowledging that grief is not always visible and does not follow a single path. This event is held with care, intention and respect, creating a space for empathy, understanding and meaningful connection.

Ticket price $195 per person

·      A signature welcome cocktail, Chasing Horizons

·      Canapés on arrival

·      A plated main course and dessert

·      Bubbles, Wine, beer and soft drinks throughout the afternoon

·      Live musical entertainment

·      A thoughtfully curated speaker program

Bergen will also donate funds from every cocktail sold on the day, further supporting the impact of this event.

All funds raised will go directly to Hope Horizons, supporting their ongoing work in providing care, connection and resources to diminish the impact of cancer.

To preserve the intimacy and integrity of the experience, tickets are strictly limited.

Thank you for being part of four years of conversation, connection and shared understanding. We would be honoured to have you join us for this next chapter.

One conversation can create connection. One shared story can create understanding.
