About this Event

Advance Care Directive & End-of-Life Options Workshop — FREE for all (In-Person)
Join us for a compassionate, hands-on workshop to create your advance directive and learn the medical and legal options that protect your wishes. In this practical session you’ll learn how to make informed health-care choices, appoint the right person to speak for you, and give your loved ones the clarity they’ll need when it matters most.

Why attend?
Too many families scramble in crisis because wishes were never documented and a healthcare agent wasn't assigned. This workshop gives you simple, actionable steps to protect your voice — whether you’re young and healthy or navigating illness. You’ll leave with a clear plan, tools to share with your family and clinicians, and confidence that your values will be respected and guide your care.

What to expect

A plain-language walk-through of an advance directive template you can begin that day
Step-by-step coaching from Nicole Soares (EcoLove Transitions) — end-of-life educator & death doula
Real-life scenarios to help you clarify and express your wishes
A Compassion and Choices free workbook, resource list, and next-step guidance (POLST, palliative care, eco-friendly after-death options)

Who should attend

Every adult — this matters once you’re 18+
Anyone who needs to create or update an advance directive
Caregivers, family members, and anyone who wants to learn how to better support loved ones
