Death is something we will all face. Talking about it isn’t weird–it’s human.

PAST EVENTS
Gather together for an in-person event to start the process of planning for aging, illness, and the unexpected.
This is not a formal workshop, but rather a way to come together as a community to start thinking about and taking action with future care planning for ourselves and our loved ones.
The event will be lightly facilitated, but the focus will be on your own process and how you can best engage with advance care planning, whether it’s through prompted reflection, journaling, letter writing, mind-mapping, discussion, or simply being in community with like-minded people. Resources will be available to guide you and spark personal inquiry.
No experience with advance care planning is needed to participate.
Participants will receive a future care planning guide to take home.
Date: Wednesday, Aug. 19th Time: 6:00 to 8:00pm Location: 237 East 4th Ave., Vancouver (please arrive early so we can buzz you into the building)
Please bring something to write in/record thoughts: a notebook, journal, laptop, or tablet.
Sliding scale pricing:
Tier 1: $25 + GST = $26.25

Honour payment system: please e-transfer to sarah@agoodfarewell.ca when you sign up. Thanks!
An interactive online workshop for anyone who may one day need to make healthcare decisions for a loved one (be it a parent, a life partner, or a sibling).
It’s something we don’t think about until we’re in the midst of a crisis and under strain. We’re forced to make decisions quickly, under pressure, and without a clear idea of what the person would have wanted.
This workshop is about making difficult times less overwhelming–practically and emotionally. We’ll discuss:
how healthcare decisions are made in BC (and the relevant documents)
how to start thinking about your wishes and preferences
starting conversations with the people close to you
Participants will also receive a set of PDF reference guides to support them.
The cost for the event is $26.25. ($25 + GST)
In the spirit of trust I ask that you e-transfer to sarah@agoodfarewell.ca prior to signing up. Please include your name in the message. Thank you!
