Join us in a nourishing and restorative retreat exploring what it means to make friends with death. Recently popular Death Cafes have helped to relax the taboo of speaking about death. Come and be nurtured and supported by the beautiful Wangapeka environment as we create a community of courageous conversations.

This retreat is suitable for health professionals, lay people, those new and those experienced in meditation.

Please contact Di on 021 025 35843 or dianelittletree@hotmail.com for more information.

“Most of us go to extraordinary lengths to ignore, laugh off or deny the fact that we are going to die, but preparing for death is one of the most rational and rewarding acts of a lifetime. It is an exercise that gives us the opportunity to deal with unfinished business and enter into a new and vibrant relationship with life”  from “A Year to Live” by Stephen Levine.
