Explore ways to carry your values of eco conscious living beyond your life, into eco conscious dying. By planning ahead, with kaitiakitanga in mind, you can leave an enduring legacy that treads gently on the earth while honouring ritual. This workshop looks at the environmental impact of conventional funerals on Papatūanuku and how to mitigate this impact. Learn about sustainable options available in Aotearoa such as Natural Burial & Water Cremation, alternatives to chemical embalming, and the use of funeral shrouds. There is opportunity for questions and discussion, and for shrouding practice. Then we get creative by collaboratively dyeing a silk shroud cover using flowers. This will be donated to charity. You are invited to bring a few fresh or dried flowers to contribute to the process, select ones with dark petals.
Entry to Gribblehurst Hub is via the stairs near carpark 1. Accessible non-stair access is at the back door of the building, entry via Begbie Place.
Held in conjunction with EcoFest 2026, and Albert-Eden & Puketātapa Eco Festival 2026.
