Soulful Sages FREE Advanced Planning Social Event

Plan today. Live more fully tomorrow.
Death is part of life — and planning for it doesn’t make it happen sooner. Giving conscious attention to your healthcare wishes actually frees you (and your loved ones) to enjoy the present. Join us for a friendly, hands-on Advanced Care Directive Workshop where we’ll make planning simple, clear, and even a little bit fun.

Why come?
• Because procrastination costs your peace of mind.
• Because planning today protects tomorrow — for you and for the people who love you.
• Because completing a directive DOES NOT increase the chance of dying; it gives you control over how you live and how you’re cared for.

• Complete a clear, advanced directive template — leave with a draft (or a signed copy).
• Learn legal end-of-life options for relieving suffering and who qualifies for which option.
• Clarify your personal values and define your own “minimum acceptable quality of life.”
• Work through common, real-world scenarios so your wishes are unambiguous and easy to follow.
• Learn the practical next steps to make your documents legally effective (witnesses, notarization, POLST).
• Explore eco-friendly after-death care choices and how to pre-plan them now in order to save $ and for peace of mind.

Mind • Body • Spirit • Finances
This session balances practical paperwork with heart-centered care: simple movement to keep you present, space to reflect on values, and clear financial/next-step guidance so nothing gets left to guesswork.

Who should attend
• Every adult who wants to protect their healthcare voice.
• People with old or incomplete directives who want an easy update.
• Caregivers and family members who want clarity and less stress.

Format
Brief presentation → hands-on worksheet time → small-group scenario practice → Q&A. Supportive, nonjudgmental, and paced for everyone.
