How do you write a Will that reflects your own wishes and values? Legacy lawyer, Donal Griffin, will share with you what people have done well and not so well in terms of their Wills.

Lets tell each other stories about our experiences with death and dying and lets listen closely and empathically.

After someone dies, amidst the grief and mourning, there is always a unique collection of objects left behind – a person’s belongings.  We the living, inherit these possessions and some of them, sometimes all of them, become ours - mementos of our connection to the person no longer here.

One of the most profound and intimate experiences is to be wounded and unable to forgive. The inability to forgive may not be something that is simply chosen. Something very powerful continues to say ‘no’, even if one would like to say ‘yes’, to forgive the other, believing that it will make things easier, lighter and better from now on. In certain cases even after one has said ‘yes’ and meant ‘yes’, the ‘no’ insists. 

The closing ceremony will be an opportunity to gather the whole festival together at sunset and will involve a water departure at the Rushcutters' Bay jetty.
