Building a Village of Support

Dates: 22nd – 24th May 2025
Venue: Whangārei Theatre Company and Hihiaua Cultural Centre
Co-hosts: Go With Grace and North Haven Hospice
Theme: ‘Building a Village of Support’ – for ourselves, our whānau and our communities.

Compassionate Communities can build our villages of support, and shape how we turn up for each other at all stages of life. Be a part of this growing, grassroots movement.

Secure your spot at the Compassionate Communities Aotearoa Hui in Whangārei from 22nd – 24th May. Come together and connect with a diverse group of health practitioners, hospices, carers, volunteers, whānau, palliative care specialists, doulas, community leaders, wellness providers, and more, to help guide and grow compassionate communities for Aotearoa.

Over two full days, you’ll hear powerful stories from people with lived experience, and others who have walked alongside and held space for these brave souls. Connected experiences will let you explore some of the many perspectives of ageing, death, dying, caring, and grieving. And you’ll have the opportunity to join meaningful hands-on workshops to deepen your understanding.

You’ll also get the chance to build your own village of support – personally and professionally – as you help to shape the future of compassionate communities in Aotearoa.
