Details
The Melbourne Theosophical Society is hosting the film:
"Live the Life You Please" plus Q&A Panel - Palliative Care and End-of-Life Doulas (from Preparing the Way)
Join us at the Melbourne Theosophical Society for a movie screening of 'Live the Life You Please', a beautiful film about how palliative care enables people to live the life they please until the end.
Told by medical professionals, patients, and their families, it is an intimate portrait of the end of life experience. It makes profound observations about life, death and what happens in between.
