Lightning Talks @ Tāiki E! - Dying Matters Edition

Lightning Talks have become a bit of a sensation in Gizzy, offering a glimpse into the inspiring people and kaupapa shaping our community. Get ready for a night of quick-fire, short presentations that’ll leave you buzzing with ideas and maybe a few you didn’t see coming.

This time round, tackling the topic everyone tiptoes around at dinner parties: death and dying. (Don’t worry, no one’s making you talk about your own mortality over pizza — unless you want to.)

From death practices across different cultures, to what your options actually are here in Tairāwhiti, to a lineup of speakers all connected in their own unique way, to this big, universal, and surprisingly fascinating topic, it’s shaping up to be a night that’s thoughtful, a little unexpected, and honestly, a good time.

Come curious. Leave lighter. Expect the unexpected as our brilliant speakers take to the floor to discuss something connected…
