Description:
This is a two-session class.

In Session One you learn about the practical aspects of preparing for the end of your life. We explore the legal paperwork necessary in Mexico to protect yourself from unwanted medical care, and how to create a system of support for yourself.

Session Two reviews Part 1 and examines eight practices for creating peaceful transitions through life and death, and how to talk to loved ones about your end-of-life wishes.

Handouts are included. Bring material for taking notes.

Comments from previous attendees:

“Thank you so much for the very useful and heartfelt presentations.”

“It was extremely beneficial.”

“I attended your recent workshop at LCS. Thank you for the most helpful conversation and information. You help with some rather difficult decisions and actions and do it well - with directness, obvious care for the group, and humor as well. I thought you managed the conversation well, allowing participants to express their appropriate concerns, stories, and questions and skillfully moving away from those unhelpful. I'm 77 and have put this off, not avoiding it, just postponing it. Now, with your help, I'm addressing it. You are providing a very important and well-managed service.”

“I know everyone who took your class is feeling the same way I am — grateful. THANK YOU!”
