Step One : eat cake and talk about death, dying and grief.
Step Two : move from the abstract to the concrete ; create a Personal Directive for the end of your own life.
At a special event on September 29th , we're taking Death Cafe to the next level!
We'll start with 1.5 hours of intriguing and thought-provoking Death Cafe conversation before making things a little more personal. That's when we'll move into a Personal Directive Planning workshop format.
Also known as Advance Care Plans, Personal Directives require that we examine our individual thoughts, wishes and directions regarding our own dying and death, and then document them through one form or another; potentially a life-altering process for us, and invaluable information for our loved ones.
To ensure a stimulating Death Cafe and an optimum workshop environment, the attendence at this event will be limited to 20 guests.
Date: September 29, 2013
Time: 1:30 - 5 PM ( extended time to accommodate workshop)
Location: Sage Center ( *Hospice Calgary Outreach) at 1245 70 Ave SE Calgary
* Please note that although Hospice Calgary has generously donated the use of their facility for this event, this Death Cafe is NOT a Hospice Calgary sponsored event.
Death Cafe & Personal Directives; an excellent partnership!

Calgary is lucky to have someone as committed as you are to organizing these events, Wendy. Are we on our way to becoming the new Death Café capital (smile)?
