Whether you're a caregiver, a family member, or simply interested in learning more about this important aspect of life, you will:
-Gain a greater understanding of traditional deathcare by learning the essentials of preparing for and managing care of the deceased at home.
-Participate in hands-on demonstrations and discussions on providing comfort and care while honouring your loved one.
-Learn how to tend to your loved one as both ritual and a meaningful goodbye, and how the practice of home deathcare can support the grieving process.
This workshop is designed to be both educational and supportive, creating an environment that welcomes questions and addresses concerns. It's free to attend but donations to support this work are appreciated.
