'When You Die' Film Screening (as part of Dying Matters Awareness Week)

Thanks to Honohono Tātou Katoa, the first chapter of this film, ‘In the Realm of Death & Dreaming: 'Does consciousness continue after death?' will be shown at our library as part of Dying Matters Week 2025. This special film screening will be followed by tea, cake and a facilitated Q&A discussion session at 2pm.

In this first film chapter, Director Johanna Lunn guides viewers on a personal journey to find answers by exploring stories of near-death experiences, deathbed visions and more. She speaks with the leading clinicians and researchers who have spent their careers studying these experiences and the nature of consciousness. Their stories are revealed with humour and compassion.

Exploring what happens after death not only helps us decide how we want to be cared for at the end of life, but it reduces our fear of death and helps us live more fully. The film screening will be followed by a Q&A discussion session, facilitated by Hibiscus Coast Primary Coordinator, Marama Winder. Tea and cake will be served.
