Join us for Gympie’s next Death Cafe.

We’ll be having a conversation with Natalie from the Gympie Cemetery Trust at their beautiful gazebo on Cartwright Rd.

Natalie and Michelle are the friendly faces you will see when you visit the office at Gympie Cemetery. Every day they guide people through choosing a resting place in the cemetery, preparing for services and looking after the graves of loved ones.

Inspired by Dying To Know Day, at Gympie Bone Museum we’re trying bring to life conversations and community actions around death, dying and bereavement and an opportunity to:

develop your death literacy

consider your end of life plans such as a will and advance care plans

share these wishes with your families

get informed about end of life and death care options such as dying at home, home and community led funerals and natural burial

be better equipped to support family and friends experiencing death, dying and bereavement

This is your opportunity to listen and ask any question that you are ‘dying to know’ about the cemetery but have never had the chance to ask. This is a family friendly event.

Refreshments provided. Beer and wine available for purchase on the night. Paywave available.

What can you expect to see at an Expo?

This is a good question. Naturally not all expos are the same, as it depends on what exhibitors are present and which psychic readers are available for the event.

However, what you can expect to find, at our expo is, 15-20 stalls selling a huge array of products – Crystals, Crystal Jewellery, Protandin, Ear Candles, Beeswax Food Wraps, Essential Oils, Honey, Hemp Oils, de terra Oils, Reflexology, Spiritual Healing, plus we have people on hand to offer free advice on how to improve your health and wellbeing – both physically and spiritually, they are highly experienced, in their field.

We also have a varied array of Psychic Mediums, who use a diverse range of psychic modalities. For example, some psychics specialise in using tarot cards, whilst others prefer straight Mediumship. Psychometry is another modality some of our psychics may use. This is where psychics are able to pick up vibrations – or energy – from clothing, jewellery etc. Other psychics specialise in using palmistry, or numerology, or astrology. We even have a Gypsy Caravan parked out the front, with a Gypsy doing crystal ball readings

The Psychic Mediums you’ll find at our expo are professional, caring readers, they all have at least 20 years of experience each, there is no substitute for experience. They are ready to assist you in finding your direction in life, helping you to achieve your true potential. Because of the high standards we set you can expect only the very best psychics to be in attendance, which is why our psychics are the very best available.
