BEFRIENDING YOUR LIFE

The Befriending Death, Befriending Your Life course provides an opportunity to investigate what’s important in our life and start living aligned with what matters most.

​

​We'll bring curiosity as we explore and get intimate with our relationship around death and dying. We'll take inventory of our life and shift our energy to align with our priorities and values.

We’ll get practical with the logistics, because at the end of the day, clear communication is the greatest gift we can leave our loved ones.

​

​The course consists of twelve sessions, in which all participants meet with the Befriending Death group on zoom.

You will be placed in a small buddy group in between the large group sessions for deeper discussions to help hold each other accountable to getting your work done. If you're signing up with friends or family, consider if you would like to be in the same group or participate in a group with others. There are benefits to both.
