2 sessions: June 8 and June 15 (yes, you can come for just one).

Speaking about Death won’t make it happen any sooner.  In fact, studies have shown that being prepared for that final chapter of life brings a comforting preciousness to the days of our lives and may help relieve some of the anxiety of the unknown. Decisions based on values and wishes can be made in a calm reflective time, creating space for being present. The unspoken can be said between loved ones and those estranged.

Let’s get comfortable with the subject. Here’s an opportunity to create a safe place to explore with curiosity your internal thoughts with the goal of being prepared. Spiritual tools will be explored and questions will be posed taking you deeper into your thoughts about death, your values, and your relationships. There will be time to write and share your reflections.
