Tea Rooms

Our Tea Rooms and Tea House events are warm and friendly where you can chat, be inspired and share ideas. 

We tell you beforehand what each session is going to be about and then you sign up for the ones you want to attend. Places are strictly limited and on a first come first serve basis. Priority is given to our community subscribers.

Below are just a few examples of what we offer at our Tearoom and Tea House Events.

Joining in on the Last Wishes Tea Room session held in such a safe, intimate, sacred space, to discuss a very personal decision I had made, was a truly amazing experience, thank you to all who made it possible.

The Last Wishes Tea Room proved to be a safe place in which to explore questions around death and dying. Amanda’s gentle facilitation enabled me to clarify my thoughts whilst being inspired by the sharing of my fellow participants.

Tea & Chat In The Last Wishes Tearooms

These tearoom discussions are free and we offer deeper conversations that cover a variety of end of life considerations, from topics with more serious themes, to lighter more joyful reflections. Last Wishes Tea Rooms can gently guide end of life conversations or open your awareness to the vast variety of options available for you and your loved ones. We let you know beforehand what we are going to talk about.

These deeper Tea Room sessions are designed to support and empower you around your end-of-life choices for you and your family. Last Wishes Tea Rooms are not group therapy or grief counselling, but our conversations are therapeutic, real and refreshing despite the themes. A place to find like-minded folks to talk to and share with.

Please note: These confidential sessions are not recorded. We expect participants to be respectful towards each other at all times. We voice our own thoughts but we do not offer negative  opinions on others experiences or belief systems..
