Group work on exploring relationships with death and preparing for one’s own death and the death of loved ones, regardless of when it happens.
Workshop goal: To restore death to its natural place in life. The more knowledge and understanding we have of the dying process, the less uncertainty and fear we experience.

- Will someday die.
- Want to explore questions about death in order to find clarity on their values in life right now.
- Be in a safe space to discuss death.
- Would like to prepare for the death of loved ones and their own passing.
- Want to understand what dying individuals might feel to interact with greater empathy.
- Feel life has lost its brightness and meaning.
- Experience fear of death and wish to change that (excluding acute manifestations such as panic attacks).
- Feel lost and unsure of their direction.
- Struggle to find value in their own life and relationships with loved ones.
- Feel like they are not living their "own" life.
