A day to consider practical and soulful actions to support living and dying well …
A day to consider, reflect and take life-affirming action towards a more conscious relationship with dying and death. From the practical to the soulful, advanced care planning to the art of conscious departure, reclaiming ceremony and ritual throughout, while including and caring for the earth. This day invites folks who feel called to deepen engagement with a potent threshold we will all traverse.
Facilitated by:
Penny Allport: Life Cycle Celebrant https://movingceremonies.com
Renate Ringer: Registered Nurse and Living Well Dying Well program facilitator at Centre for Earth and Spirit https://centreforearthandspirit.ca/about-us/our-team
Krista Manuel: funeral director, hospice board member and volunteer and end-of-life educator www.consciouscrossings.com

What to Expect:
· Ritual to honour Ancestors and include them in the circle of life
· Practical and informed experience with Advanced Care Planning and guidance to get the paperwork done
· Facilitated sharing and engagement with others
· Demystifying disposition/interment of the body, and what happens when someone dies
· Re-enchantment with old/new ways of being with dying and death in a personal, family and village centered way
Come with a family member or friend. Bring your paperwork – already started, in need of updating, or a blank slate – and begin from scratch! It’s a BYOL (bring your own lunch) day. Some snacks and tea will be provided.
Tickets:
$125.00 for Saturday ONLY
$165 for a three day weekend series: RE-IMAGINING END-OF-LIFE & DEATH Weekend Series
