Spend an intimate afternoon with acclaimed actor and screenwriter Greg Wise, sharing his personal experiences of loss as a way of helping us all to be more open about the pain of losing loved ones. In this strikingly thoughtful and moving session, he’ll set out the importance of honesty, vulnerability and ritual to navigate the chaotic, messy journey of death. And he calls for us to reject the behind-closed-doors culture of mourning, in favour of a more open processing of grief, as a direct path to being able to be happy again. “I don’t think I ever really felt joy until I faced into my grief,” he says. Greg talks to psychotherapist and author Julia Samuel.
