Writing your Personal Statement in order to Communicate your Wishes for  Treatment at the End-of-Life — A Critical Piece of your Medical Directives

Your wishes for your treatment at the end-of-life will hold much more weight if they are relayed in your own words, rather than initials on a form. We will utilize a template that I developed as a thought-jogger in order to address the many aspects of end-of-life treatment, such as definition of quality of life, dementia, aggressive treatments, financial considerations, hospice preferences, etc.

6:30 pm: Surviving the Holidays - When You’re Supposed to be Happy But You’re Not


November 7, 2019

Practically Dying 75px

Surviving the holidays when you’re living with a painful loss is difficult.

For anyone living with a painful loss, regardless of your culture or faith, the expectations that you’ll be happy during the holidays may be overwhelming and unwelcome. Memories — good or painful – may be more likely to come up. It can be confusing and alienating not knowing how to participate, or how to withdraw.

In this single-session LIVE on-line group, we’ll support each other to develop strategies that honor our own needs and help others support us.

Join us and discover how to identify your needs and learn the gift of caring for yourself with compassion.

We’ll also talk about how to carry your self-care into the post-holiday season. Handouts for yourself and others are included.

Making Your Funeral and Memorial Arrangements

It has been proven that families often over-spend when they have to make funeral arrangements for a loved one while still in shock and deep grief. And if they don’t know what you would have wanted, they are left to guess. So we will walk through the process “up-stream” as a gift to your family. You may even be inspired to write your own obituary!

9:30 am: Ordinary Magic, with Kim Mooney


November 17, 2019

Practically Dying 75px

Rituals for Grief and Gratitude

All lives have times of deep gratitude, feeling awe for what namelessly fills our heart, and times of deep grief, wondering if we will ever see color or light again.

Ritual brings power and shape to those times by stirring our hearts and spirits to bring their strengths to our experience. As we carry an intention to enrich the meaning of a time or event, we also allow it to shape us.

In this day-long workshop, Ordinary Magic, we’ll explore the substance of time-honored rituals and the alchemical power of personal ritual.

Using storytelling, art, a labyrinth walk, and personal symbols, you will understand the nature, purpose and effect of ritual as an approach to life, and learn to create personal forms that you can use in any situation at any time.

Events change us. Rituals transform us.

Cost is $90
