Dealing with grief will be the topic of Southern Vales Compassionate Communities first ever Death Over Dinner event in McLaren Vale on Saturday 13 July.

It will feature a unique storytelling musical Have You Met My Grief? performed by Jodie Atkinson, a 2023 Fringe Festival debut award winner.

Following a profound personal loss, she became acutely aware of her own lack of preparedness to face grief.

She wrote a book and her show after navigating this loss in a society reluctant to openly discuss the topic.

Jodie is dedicated to helping others with grief and loss and will be available for questions after the show. 

This event will be supported by local DJ, musician and sound technician Leah Tait Music. 

Take along drinks and nibbles to enjoy during the performance, as well as gold coins for fundraising activities for future events.

The event at McLaren Vale Hall & Piazza della Valle starts at 7pm and is free to attend, with tea and coffee available for a gold coin donation. Bookings are required, via Humanitix.
