Death – Dying – Dementia
Your life. Your values. Your plan.
2026 FALL WORKSHOP OPEN TO ALL
Five Zoom sessions: Sept. 9 & 23, Oct. 7 & 21, Nov. 4; 3:30-5:00 p.m. MT
ANY TIME
Form your own group! Your schedule. Your format (virtual or in-person). Gather family/friends, community, clients. Let’s talk!
to inform and empower your end-of-life choices.
I understand. Nobody wants to talk about death. But it’s too late to learn how people die well when death is knocking at your door. When it comes to dying, you only get one chance. There are no do overs. Save yourself and your loved ones from unnecessary suffering. Stop procrastinating. Getting caught off guard is traumatic. Being informed is empowering. Plan for a good death.
Trust me. I’ve watched people go both ways.
Ready or not, death is inevitable – like an ultimate, unavoidable final exam. Many folks avoid learning about options, choices, and end-of-life possibilities until it’s too late to make educated decisions. Please don’t be one of those people. Do your homework now.
I have valuable experiences, profound insights, and professional resources about death and dying to share with you. We’ll work together – on a reasonable timeline – so you will confidently complete your directives in a matter of weeks. Let me guide you through the rough spots.
Well-prepared advance directives make it possible to die with grace and dignity. That will be important to you: no last-minute, uninformed decisions. That will be important to those you love: no guessing, power struggles, family conflict, regrets.
For a better ending and peace of mind, plan for your last days now. Let’s get started!
Can you help me understand the basics?
Absolutely! During our sessions, I’m here to guide you through the process. AND I understand you may have questions about the course before we begin.
I answer many of the common questions on my FAQ page, but if there’s something you’re still wondering about after checking that page, please contact me!
What is the format?
Mindful Endings groups meet on Zoom every other week for five sessions. You will use the weeks in between sessions for fieldwork, reflection, and writing. You will be ready to file your directives nine weeks after we begin.
Public workshops are scheduled each fall, beginning on the second Wednesday in September. Workshops meet five times, every other Wednesday from 4:00-5:30 p.m. MT.
Private groups may schedule a workshop at any time of the year. Contact Teri for more information.
If you would prefer to do this work individually, or as a couple, scheduling can be expedited to fit your needs.
