Workshops on Discussing What Quality Means at the End of Life – Option 1

Workshops on Discussing What Quality Means at the End of Life – Option 1

Havurah is offering two options for taking the two-session workshops “Having the Conversation: Discussing What Quality Means at the End of Life.”

Option 1: Sundays, Feb. 12 & 26, 10:00 – 11:30 am
Option 2: Thursdays, Feb. 16 and March 2, 7:00 – 8:30 pm.

Many of us spend a great deal of time thinking about how we want to live our lives, but many of us avoid thinking about how we would like our end of life care to go. Havurah will be facilitating a two part workshop in February to help community members begin to think about what quality means at the end of life. Working from The Conversation Project model, we will support each other as we explore this challenging topic.

Prior to the workshops, at 10:00 am on Saturday, Feb. 4, Diane Chaplin will lead a Text & Torah study session at Havurah on “Jewish Traditions of Mourning and the Afterlife.”

The Conversation Project is dedicated to helping people talk about their wishes for end-of-life care. Too many people are dying in a way they wouldn’t choose, and too many of their loved ones are left feeling bereaved, guilty, and uncertain. It’s time to transform our culture so we shift from not talking about dying to talking about it. It’s time to share the way we want to live at the end of our lives. And it’s time to communicate about the kind of care we want and don’t want for ourselves. The Conversation Project offers people the tools, guidance, and resources they need to begin talking with their loved ones about their wishes and preferences, before a medical crisis – “at the kitchen table,” not in the intensive care unit.

If you would like to join us, we ask that you commit to both workshops. RSVP here by Jan. 23. The workshops are free for Havurah members, $40 for non-members.
