- 'being present'
- about the privilege of being in the space with someone who is dying (and sometimes the challenges)
- the importance of demystifying death and dying and normalising it
- how we are curious about Death Cafes and also about things we don't know i.e. what happens to us before and after death, the paranormal, near death experiences
- some tools we can use and things we can say to engage a person into having these important conversations;
- about choices, self responsiblity and taking some control
- and that Australian jokes are - well they are Aussie jokes and a bit of fun to finish the night/morning with
