If end-of-life topics make you a bit uncomfortable, this class will help you think about and discuss your final wishes with understanding and ease. You’ll receive useful information about topics such as funeral home prices; prepaid funeral contracts; hospice care, organ, tissue and whole-body donation; eco-friendly natural burial; end-of-life doulas; and more. You’ll understand—and be encouraged to update or complete—documents specifying what kinds of medical treatment you would or would not want, should you be unable to speak for yourself. You’ll also be given opportunities to engage in relaxed, small-group discussions to help you identify your own end-of-life values and priorities. Throughout our time together, you’ll be learning from subject matter experts with empowering knowledge to share and nothing to sell. For maximum benefit, you’ll be asked to complete relevant assignments between most class sessions. Please bring $10 for plentiful handouts to our first meeting. Limit 16. Note: One-week delayed start; course extends one week.
