Pure Land Home Hospice Death Festival
12/10/2024 10:00 am
Centennial Park, 760 Goodwood Road, Pasadena, South Australia
Discover the essence of the Death Festival with Pure Land Home Hospice and Centennial Park. The festival is a nurturing and compassionate approach to embracing life’s inevitable journey. While death is a universal truth, it’s often shrouded in taboo, leaving many unprepared to face it.
Death festivals offer a unique way to confront this reality, fostering dialogue, meditation and storytelling to alleviate the fear surrounding death. We’re excited to bring this event to South Australia, aiming to demystify death and spark meaningful community conversations.
This public event features expert speakers, a children’s area, art therapy, a Death Café, meditations, informative market stalls and much more.
We hope it becomes a cornerstone for community engagement with plans to grow annually and benefit all South Australians.

10 Things to Know Before You Go Workshop
At Proveda, we believe it is important that people plan for death, just as much as they plan for birth. We also believe that it requires an ‘all of family’ or ‘all of community’ approach as it often impacts more than one individual.
Our ’10 Things to Know Before You Go’ workshop can be attended by an individual, or alternatively, we can tailor one to run as a workplace activity. The aim is to empower you and/or organisations at large, to be both educated and socially responsible.
The workshop is a comprehensive 2-hour online session, that will help build your knowledge and provide useful resources to assist you to better understand and plan for either yourself, or a family member for end of life. The workshop is very practical and provides an overview of various documents (eg Wills, Powers of Attorney, Advance Care Directives etc) that you may want to consider thinking about. In addition, it provides helpful advice and outlines simple steps you can take toward initiating, what can often feel awkward, conversations with family members.
Previous participants have left feeling more empowered with knowledge, about navigating different aspects of the end of life system, and 80% of participants reported that they took direct action in end of life planning as a result of the workshop.
What Does the Workshop Cover?
- Immediate, practical end of life assistance. Writing a Will, Appointing an Enduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardian, Planning your funeral and burial.
- Broader social elements. These can impact our personal experience of end of life, so it is more positive such as; strengthening social networks and communicating our wishes.
- Small Online Group. This workshop is offered in a small group setting with online facilitation and interaction, enabling sharing and learning from each other’s experiences.
- Face-to-Face Group. If you would like to run this workshop in a face-to-face format in your workplace, email us for a quote. Email hello@proveda.com.au.
