Join Our Community
Community events are a beautiful way to bring us together. These gatherings provide a safe space for people to connect, learn and share how different worldviews and ways of knowing can create compassionate communities in Aotearoa.
Events & Programmes
Join us at libraries across Tāmaki Makaurau for an open, group-directed conversation about death, where there is no set agenda, objectives, or themes. This is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.

No One Dies Alone (NODA):
Become a Compassionate Companion
Honohono Tātou Katoa is proud to introduce the No One Dies Alone (NODA) programme at CHT St Johns in Epsom from March 2025. We are seeking dedicate volunteers to join this new programme, providing comfort and connection to those in their last months and days of life.
Volunteers need to apply to become a Mercy Hospice volunteer, undergo reference and police vetting checks, attend induction and training sessions and commit to volunteer with us for a minimum of six months.
October 2025 update: We've had an overwhelmingly positive response to our NODA programme and are at capacity for new volunteers.
📧 Email us at info@honohono.net for additional information.
At Home Aged and Palliative Services (AHAPS): A “Train the Trainers” Programme
Launching in 2025, the "At Home Aged and Palliative Services" programme is co-designed by Working Together Group (WTG) and Honohono Tātou Katoa (HTK).
This initiative will equip community members with skills, knowledge, and resources to both provide compassionate at-home care at the end of life, and train others to do the same. Emphasising sustainability and inclusivity, the programme reflects HTK's mission to foster compassionate communities and ensure "palliative care everywhere with everyone," working with hidden carers and under-served communities through trust, collaboration, and celebration of their strengths.
This programme is currently being piloted with our community partners, Working Together Group.
