Guided, in-person workshops to help you clarify and communicate your end of life wishes.
Talking about death is hard. Our sessions move at a gentle pace, with space to process difficult emotions. You won't be asked to disclose personal information, or share your beliefs or final decisions.

Common Misconceptions About End of Life Planning
Myth "I'm young, so I don't have to think about end of life yet"
Reality Accidents and sudden illness can happen at any age. If you are over 18 and have people you care about, you need a plan. A simple plan, clearly communicated, prevents confusion and reduces conflict.
Myth "Only rich people need to do end of life planning"
Reality Everyone has assets. Bank accounts, pets, a car, photos, journals, passwords. Without clear instructions, loved ones are left to figure things out during an already emotional time.
Myth "My family knows me well, so they will know what to do"
Reality You may have talked about it in passing, but conversations fade and memories differ. In an emergency, people often recall things differently or interpret your wishes in their own way. Clear written instructions reduce confusion and give your loved ones confidence to act.
Myth "I've told one person what I want. That's enough."
Reality Relying on a single person can create pressure and conflict. What if that person is not present, cannot be reached, or is grieving deeply? When more than one trusted person understands your wishes, the burden is shared and decisions are less likely to be questioned.
Myth "I've completed an advance directive, so I'm set."
Reality Completing legal paperwork is an important step, but documents alone are not a plan. Do the right people know where the documents are? Have you discussed your wishes so they understand the spirit behind them? Planning is not just paperwork. It is preparation and communication.
