However, watching the movie is not required. Those who haven’t seen it will still be able to fully understand and engage with the presentation.⏰ This is a 3-hour presentation, including a refreshment break.Through the stories of three main characters in The Shawshank Redemption, Darrin explores the powerful themes of hope, fear, and love—and what these themes can teach us about living with loss. When we work with people who are dying and support their loved ones, how do we hold space when grief, loss, distress, and shattered hearts take centre stage? The trauma accompanying grief and loss can create deep-rooted layers of fear and dread. Over time, these experiences can pull people away from joy, hope, renewed love, and the possibility of adjusting to life after loss. For families, this journey begins even before death, during the dying experience itself. And for those of us who work alongside people who are dying, repeated exposure to profound grief and suffering can affect us too.This presentation invites us to explore how we can move from a life shaped by fear toward one grounded in love and hope—both for ourselves and for the people and families we have the privilege of supporting.What to Expect:A 3-hour interactive presentationExploration of hope, fear, love, grief and lossInsights drawn from three characters in The Shawshank RedemptionOpportunities for reflection and discussionRefreshment break includedWhether you work directly with people who are dying, support grieving families, or have experienced loss yourself, this presentation offers an opportunity to reflect on how we can make space for grief while continuing to find hope, love, and meaning. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/airdrie/ahpca-roadshow-love-loss-hope-and-the-shawshank-redemption/100001999746460495 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Airdrie - **state**: AB - **country**: Canada - **location**: Town & Country Centre - **lat**: 51.2970614 - **long**: -114.0051514 - **full address**: Town & Country Centre, 275 Jensen Drive Northeast, Airdrie, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: AHPCA Roadshow: Love, Loss, Hope & The Shawshank Redemption - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/deb05326f78b9e0c688f5c3e48d11bce6dbda9f1c72d33f802134f4d281364d5-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1789578974 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is AHPCA Roadshow: Love, Loss, Hope & The Shawshank Redemption being held? - **A:** AHPCA Roadshow: Love, Loss, Hope & The Shawshank Redemption takes place on Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 am to Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Town & Country Centre, 275 Jensen Drive Northeast, Airdrie, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing AHPCA Roadshow: Love, Loss, Hope & The Shawshank Redemption? - **A:** AHPCA Roadshow: Love, Loss, Hope & The Shawshank Redemption is organized by Alberta Hospice Palliative Care Association. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "AHPCA Roadshow: Love, Loss, Hope & The Shawshank Redemption", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/deb05326f78b9e0c688f5c3e48d11bce6dbda9f1c72d33f802134f4d281364d5-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1789578974", "startDate": "2026-10-02T09:00:00-06:00", "endDate": "2026-10-02T12:00:00-06:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/airdrie/ahpca-roadshow-love-loss-hope-and-the-shawshank-redemption/100001999746460495", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Town & Country Centre", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "275 Jensen Drive Northeast", "postalCode": "T4B 0G2", "addressLocality": "Airdrie", "addressRegion": "AB", "addressCountry": "CA" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.2970614", "longitude": "-114.0051514" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "The AHPCA Roadshow is pleased to welcome Darrin Parkin, Spiritual Care Clinician, to present ways we can move from a life shaped by fear.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-16", "availabilityEnds": "2026-10-02T12:00:00-06:00", "validFrom": "2026-09-16", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/airdrie/ahpca-roadshow-love-loss-hope-and-the-shawshank-redemption/100001999746460495" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-16", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-16", "url": "https://allevents.in/airdrie/ahpca-roadshow-love-loss-hope-and-the-shawshank-redemption/100001999746460495", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Alberta Hospice Palliative Care Association", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/alberta-hospice-palliative-care-association/21021809", "description": "Improve your knowledge.
