2022 Workshops and training
The Groundswell Project Australia is ready to deliver a number of workshops and end-of-life education packages. We have our signature packages and we often co-design any of our products to suit your community and audience.
We are currently delivering virtually and in some cases face to face, our options include.
Reach out to Cherelle via hello@thegroundswellproject.com to have a conversation about how we can collaborate and deliver end of life education to you.
People often feel ill equipped to act or start a conversation. The risk here for us all is that we do not have the knowledge or understanding around how to best support a loved one who is dying, caring or grieving. Sadly, this can mean that end-of-life experiences are not aligned with an individual’s values or wishes.
By normalising conversations around death and dying, Australians can ‘get dead set’. The pandemic has brought death and dying. Our mortality is a part of our collective consciousness like never before.
The 10 Things To Know Before You Go Workshop can help you get started on your end of life planning journey.

The Most Important Conversation You Haven’t Had: A film & conversation event with The Groundswell Project
If you had 5 months to live, what would matter most?
With a prognosis of less than 6 months to live, Jeremy Spinak urgently sets out to document for his children who he is, what he has achieved and what has given his life meaning. What matters most in life is crystallised as he faces everything he has to lose. As universal as death is, it is only when staring into its face, that the meaning of life becomes apparent.
Talking Sticks, along with the film's director Mitzi Goldman & Jessie Williams, CEO of The Groundswell Project, invite you to join us for this impactful film experience followed by an intimate post screening conversation between Mitzi Goldman, Jessie Williams and Mel Greblo.
Jeremy’s story, this film and our conversation are a clarion call to meaning and meaning-making. An invitation into the chrysalis, into harnessing the significance of our insignificance in this short, wild and precious time we call life.
