Bringing Death to Life
June 29, 12 - 2pm
"From the hour you're born you begin to die. But between birth and death there is life" - Simone de Beauvoir.
Following a 'What's On' session last year about the Human Side of Cancer, women identified that they would like the opportunity to have an open discussion about issues surrounding death and dying. As a society, we can find it difficult or uncomfortable to talk about death. A new publication entitled Dying to Know: Bringing Death to Life is a beautifully presented book which gives us a platform to start a conversation surrounding our thoughts, beliefs and aspirations surrounding the end of life.
This workshop will be facilitated by Josie Scott, a former BreaCan staff member.
Limited numbers so please book early.
