Dying Matters Week Motueka

Dying Matters Week was being brought to Motueka for the first time in 2025 by the Last Light Project.

They aim to offer information and opportunities to deepen awareness and understanding around death and dying, as part of living. It is the creation of a group of people who aim to develop death-ready communities.

From Monday 1st to Sunday 7th September at Motueka Library, Motueka Community House and other spaces around Motueka people started conversations in a safe space, learnt from local experts and sought support to get affairs in order and navigate grief or loss.

For more information about Dying Matters Week events in Motueka, please email Margaret McCallum or phone 021 083 24224.
