We undertake several community focused special projects that are focused on promoting death literacy in community along with bringing acceptance and support of grief into the public sphere and celebrating our elders.


In 2022, Dr Linda Kurti, of Stillpoint Strategy and Harpreet Kalsi-Smith our founder, embarked on a proactive pilot project called ‘Conversation with Friends’, which demonstrated a hunger among the general population to normalise discussions about the end of life, even though these discussions can be difficult. Linda and Harpreet facilitated dialogues about death and dying with groups of people known to each other, usually over a meal. As a result of these discussions, many participants had conversations with their families about their end-of-life wishes; some developed advance care plans. We believe this model has the potential to assist many others to engage in important discussions about the end of life, before they are facing a life-limiting illness. Linda and Harpreet presented the findings of this pilot project at the 2022 NSW Palliative Care Biennial Conference titled ‘Looking for what you know is lost: Conversations on suffering.’

Linda and Harpreet are currently embarking on Phase two of the pilot project.




Harpreet is collaborating with Dr Joanne Doran to create public and community arts spaces to normalise grief and acknowledge the collective grief so many of us experience. 



We at Kindness Company are working with regional and peak bodies to acknowledge the wisdom and expertise of Elders in our communities and support them and their communities in their ageing and end-of-life journeys.

reiki healing

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy." And so, Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." Several studies have taken place that correlate reiki with a reduction in stress, anxiety and fatigue.

integral sound healing

Integral sound healing is the use of specific sound modalities to integrate the healing of the body, mind, emotions, spirit and soul. Integral sound healing is based on the premise these five elements that form both us and the environment in which we live are integrated, and so to heal, we must work to integrate healing in all aspects holistically.

Research has been conducted and without a doubt it has been proven that musical therapy is an integral part of our lives and death.
Marllyn A. Mendoza Ph.D sums this up beautifully in her article:-
“The Power of Music at the End of Life – When words are not enough.”
August 11, 2019

“Music is an important part of our celebrations and transitions in life. Our final transition from this life is also a time when the power of music can be important to provide peace and comfort, not only to the dying but to family members as well. Research into the use of music in hospice and palliative care has consistently found that patients, family, and staff all benefit from the music, and often after only one session. Music has been found to help decrease anxiety, agitation, and pain. It also helps patients to slow and deepen their breath.”

meditation

Meditation is a mind-body practice where a person focuses their attention on something, such as an object, word, phrase, or breath, to quieten the mind and bring stillness to the body. Meditation may assist in relaxation of the mind and body and improve overall health and wellbeing. It may be used to help relieve stress, pain, anxiety, and depression and to help with symptoms related to illness.

'My brother died two months ago. The last time I saw Harp I felt deep sadness. She told me about the deep rest sessions she runs and I had one today. I have been feeling so much anger and that lifted, my body feels different, better. I haven't felt like this for months'

‘Death, dying, and grieving today have become unbalanced. Health care is now the context in which many encounter death, and as families and communities have been pushed to the margins, their familiarity and confidence in supporting death, dying, and grieving has diminished. Relationships and networks are being replaced by professionals and protocols.’
