You're Invited to help break the silence of death and dying so grief & loss is less devastating through monthly open conversations that provides opportunities to ask those questions we don't dare ask!

Our purpose is to normalise, de-stigmatise and challenge the silence around death topics to educate and empower individuals, remove fears and soften grief. A space that allows for open, unbiased and heart-centred conversations that are approachable. To address the end of life more consciously so we can be better prepared for death and loss. This allows us to then live life with full presence, mindfulness and with a whole heart.

OPEN CONVERSATIONS
Are freely Offered 4th Thursday Monthly | 3:00pm-4:30pm | Victor Harbor SA
☕️Cafe open until 4pm.

W H Y ?
because Melissa has witnessed with many of her clients, those transitioning death, dying and grief - that many are afraid to talk about death, many fear their own mortality and grief is often experienced as devastation.

It truly doesn’t have to be this way!

Melissa aims to encourage us all to go on a curious self-discovery journey together, to help you uncover your truths creating a safe space to ask those curious questions we don't dare ask so you can feel reassured and know, there truly is nothing to fear!

Open conversations enable us to engage in light discussions, share ideas, ask questions and raise any concerns you may have without fear or judgement about death, dying, grief and even spirituality. Together we can learn and grow.

FREE FORUMS
Are for those who feel curious to ask those questions we don't dare ask associated with death, dying, grief and spirituality. To help demystify myths, debunk misconceptions and release any fears we might have, as we normalise, de-stigmatise and challenge the silence around death topics.

This is an opportunity to join open and enriching conversations connecting with the community over light refreshments each month.
