Death is a taboo topic for most of our community and we think that needs to change, one conversation at a time! Brunch with Death is a regular facilitated discussion with a guiding theme, where you can enjoy rich conversations with likeminded members of the community over brunch and a cuppa. The more you talk about death - the less scary it becomes!

Note: these sessions are only suitable for those over 18 years of age and may not be suitable for people who are recently bereaved. These sessions are not therapy groups.

What past attendees have said...

Spent a lovely morning with Estella discussing all things death. It was very thought provoking and I came away with new ideas and knowledge.

Past attendee

A very comprehensive and informative presentation and work shop. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would have no hesitation in recommending it to people of any age or gender. The environment was informal and pleasant, with a lovely refreshments.

Esme

Past attendee

I find these sessions very informative, respectful, nurturing. I like the format, small groups, intimate, never pushed to contribute opinions or exposed to talk. Estella is fantastic in conducting the sessions, proving information, answering questions, using her good humour, and always always very respectful. I like the space she creates making people comfortable to talk about their experiences if they choose to, and generating lots of self reflection.

A very warm, necessary and well facilitated discussion. Thank you very much.

Donna

Past attendee

I recommend attending these very informative sessions. There is so much to think about and steps to take and things to consider leading up to our later years and what happens before and after death. Estella’s presentations are delivered with confidence, compassion and easy to understand. Her answers to questions are informative and concise so you are able to understand what has been said. It is also an opportunity to listen to other people’s thoughts, experiences and questions.
