ABODE Academy 5 focuses on Heart-Centered Planning: Making Sense of Life and Death. At ABODE, we know that end-of-life planning can serve as a rich opportunity for personal growth. Becoming clear and communicating our priorities and wishes about our health and personal care, our legacy, our death care and after-death care, as well as how we’ll be remembered, will foster our peace of mind and go a long way toward reducing anxiety, regret and conflict.

Join us for these four sweet – and free – online workshops.

ABODE Academy 4 focuses on Death and Dying: Religious Customs and Rituals. While most of us are familiar with customs and rituals in our own faith communities, those of our neighbors can seem a bit of a mystery. Which faiths favor cremation? Which favor burial? Which believe in reincarnation? What special prayers and anointments are needed? What medications are acceptable? And how about dietary considerations, dress codes and whether those dying should face east – or west?

A better understanding of our friends and neighbors helps ensure that we can take better care of one another in our final days.
