Death is still a taboo topic for most of our community and we think that needs to change, one conversation at a time! Brunch with Death is a regular facilitated discussion with a guiding theme, where you can enjoy rich conversations with likeminded members of the community over brunch and a cuppa. The more you talk about death - the less scary it becomes!
Note: these sessions are only suitable for those over 18 years of age and may not be suitable for people who are recently bereaved. These sessions are not therapy groups.
Brunch with Death April 2026
Navigating a life changing illness
In this session we'll learn how to navigate a life changing illness, as the person with the diagnosis or as a carer. This session focuses on how to plan ahead while remaining hopeful, how to communicate with healthcare providers, navigate difficult conversations and keep your values at the centre of your journey.
Based on the best-selling book "Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest: 7 Keys for Navigating a Life-Changing Diagnosis" by Dr Sammy Winemaker and Dr Hsien Seow, hosts of the Waiting Room Revolution podcast, this session is part of a global movement to put the human back at the centre of healthcare.
Brunch with Death offers a gentle space to reflect on your final sunset while sharing conversation with curious, likeminded community members. Each month, Estella facilitates a workshop on a themed topic, followed by an open, supportive discussion over brunch.
