The Art of Living and Dying is a project run by The Martinsey Isle Trust, based in Sturminster Newton, Dorset, dedicated to enriching life through open, honest and supported discussion of dying, death and bereavement; and through providing social activities to bring people together in the local community. Our groups are shaped by the needs and interests of our participants. We work closely with other groups providing similar services, including the RVS and POPP.
