We often use comics at BEING MORTAL to start conversations. It leaves all your brain power free to reflect on and learn from the story, rather than struggling with tricky words.
The free CANVA app. is great for making comics - https://www.canva.com/

I spent the last two days in the wonderful woodland area at Standalone Farm, learning about how to connect people with nature, on a programme facilitated by Natural Academy. So much learning about how we are nature and to become separate from it is to become separate from ourselves. Thank you to all tutors and my fellow participants for an amazing two days , and to the Heritage Foundation for funding this experience.

BEING MORTAL attended this fascinating morning in Ipswich on Saturday. It was great to see people of all faiths looking for what connects rather than divides us in life, death and grief.
