Please help us spread the word.

Friday – Sunday, November 13 – 15, 2015

This workshop provides an opportunity to gather and explore human issues

that affect us all. By sharing our experiences we will become more familiar with:

• Care planning
• Hospice and comfort care
• Green burial and home funeral
• Loss, grief and self care support
• Death Café/Death Over Dinner/The Conversation Project
• Movies, music and the written word
• Local resources to continue the conversation

A roundtable format will be used, offering a safe environment for open, respectful dialogue. This retreat is open to all who have an interest in end-of-life matters. In addition to our discussions, there will be time for personal and shared reflections through yoga, art, music and walks on the beautiful Old Mission Peninsula.
