Nau mai Haere Mai. We look forward to welcoming you to our “What Matters Most” mix and mingle.

Connect. Drop in and meet Ōtautahi/ Christchurch community members who are inspired by the concept of living in a compassionate community where people are equipped to support one another during life’s most challenging times. Have a conversation with a death doula, celebrant, hospice staff and volunteers. Learn about Compassionate Communities, No One Dies Alone (NODA), Threshold Choir, and Death without debt. Preview Melanie Mayell’s new Journal “Mortality Muse” and play with some conversation starter cards.

Create: Help us create a “What Matters Most” collage , enjoy some “Invisible String” activities, make some origami hearts and decorate the Remembrance tree as a way to remember your loved ones and consider how you might want to be remembered.

Everyone is welcome to attend this free, family friendly interactive event.
