Death News EP2: People are dying to know your life story.

Tell Your Story because when someone shares their story, they’re sharing something special, not just words, but their emotions and identity.

Stories are precious taonga - told with love, written with care, shaped by whakapapa, memory, and experience lived.

Wow, it's crazy to think that if we don't record our stories, they'll actually be lost after two generations.

Stay tuned, as Tell Your Story can help us preserve this toanga for the future. 🫶

My next kōrero will be with Heather, from Tell Your Story.

Every story is important because it offers insights into your experiences and emotions, possibly even from another place and time. When you share a life story, you give a piece of yourself - offering readers a front row seat to your perspective and how you saw and experienced the world.

Have you considered writing, or have you written a memoir?

I share Picaluna funeral posts often because they continue inspire me with their non-traditional funerals, along with the level of creativity and individuality they fully embrace.

In a secluded bushland location, under the watchful gaze of a giant golden statue of Buddha, friends and family gathered to honour a woman whose generosity and bravery made the world a better place for others.
Through prayer, music, art, and creativity, they expressed their sense of loss and grief as they farewelled an open-hearted woman who strove to protect the vulnerable.
At Picaluna, we understand that meaningful and appropriate funerals start with funeral directors listening and understanding how the person, family, and friends want to say goodbye.

DEATH NEWS EP1: Lifting the lid on Death Cafe Manawatu.

Not scary, not dark, but a healthy, safe space to have kōrero over a cuppa that gently breaks down death stigma, misconceptions, and fear.

Laura and Mel are a couple of cool chicks who are super welcoming, relaxed, and funny! They're offering a place to talk openly, learn, and even plan for your own end-of-life.

Death Café is a group-led discussion, not therapy and certainly not a lecture! Participation is always optional. You can share, or listen and learn in your own time.

Join them next on 22nd March at Boho Cafe
