A wonderful afternoon listening to a thought-provoking conversation about becoming more comfortable with death.
Writer Kevin Toolis shared powerful insights from growing up on a remote island, where being present with the dead and dying was simply part of everyday life. Drawing on his later years reporting from war zones, he beautifully wove together the philosophical and the practical.
Through the ancient tradition of the Irish wake, Kevin offered a thoughtful roadmap for facing some of our deepest and most existential questions about life and death.
A deeply moving and meaningful discussion, thank you Kevin and for Dr Souza and the team from for organising it
