SUMMARY:Tea With a Death Doula
DESCRIPTION:Dynamic Journey Doula invites you to Tea Time… “Let’s Talk about Death and Dying”. \nIt’s not easy to talk about death or dying\, but doing it with a cup of tea may make it that little bit easier. \nTea with End of Life Practitioner Janet from Dynamic Journey Doula provides a safe and relaxed space for everyone to gather and enjoy interesting\, thought-provoking and life-affirming conversations. It’s an opportunity for people to share their experiences with the intention to increase awareness of death and the dying journey and to ask all the questions . These sessions will allow us to share valuable knowledge\, skills\, and key information that we all will need at some point in our lives.  Let’s face it! We are all going to die.  Talking about death and dying supports you and your loved ones to live a richer\, fuller life. \nEveryone is welcome to drop in to this free event.
