#2021 An Invitation to a Peaceful Death (a 3-part series)
Instructor: Sandra Felt
Organizing our legal and personal affairs to ease our death for both ourselves and our loved ones can be a daunting challenge. The Five Wishes model together with this simple 3-session workshop will walk you through ways to understand and document your personal preferences with group support and even a bit of humor. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend all three sessions. Five Wishes booklets and other useful handouts will be provided.
