Minds Matter

27/11/2025

We are approaching the festive season but not everyone is in a celebratory mood. How can we support ourselves and others who are currently grieving? Join us for our next Dignity Dialogue on 4 December, at 18h00, with Bridget McNulty (author of The Grief
Handbook) and Vuya Ilengou (death doula and DignitySA Trustee) to learn practical skills.

Come for the story. Stay for the honesty. Ask questions. Leave with perspective and hope.

A wonderful initiative to support people living with dementia and those who care for them!

🟡 Still a few spots left!

Join our Deep South pilot project — four relaxed Saturdays starting 8 November in Fish Hoek. Easy to get to, close to public transport.

It’s a warm, welcoming space for both care partners — to connect, share and take a breather.

💛 On our final Saturday we’re hosting a Memory Café — open to everyone! Local residents and businesses keen to learn more about dementia are especially welcome.

📩 Message us to find out more or save your spot!
