The Workshop will offer support and tools to enhance confidence in having pastoral conversations about death and dying.  Using a model from the field of bereavement to explore emotional, psychological, and spiritual responses and building on the experiences of the participants, the day will resource those who attend to go deeper in their pastoral encounters with people who are actively addressing their own mortality.

Relational Care is a concept that has evolved in response to observed good practice and benefits in the care of older people.

Our October seminar will be led by Jenny Kartupelis MBE, author of two books on this subject, the more recent being Making Relational Care Work for Older People (2021, Routledge). Her work in this field has involved extensive interviews as well as looking at the impacts of best practice, and she is encouraging people attending the presentation to bring and share their own experiences, for which there will be plenty of time.

The aim of the conference is to highlight different aspects of the contribution made by older people and the importance of embracing new possibilities with and by older people noticing how we change and develop as we age and how we express our needs.
