For many of us, living sustainably is a lifelong occupation. But can that extend to the end of our lives, and our funeral planning? In this seminar, renowned community educator Libby Moloney looks at natural and sustainable funeral planning choices, from home-based death and family led (DIY) funerals, to your rights and responsibilities under the law. Presented in partnership with Geelong Sustainability Group. Please note a small fee of $5 applies for this session.

Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Eileen Ormsby and Jenny Sinclair discuss the current era of disruption and what it signals for the future of feminism.
Presented in partnership with Griffith Review for the launch of their Edition 64 – The New Disruptors.
