WORKSHOPS FOR ORGANIZATIONS

PEACE OF MIND
CORE SERIES

Over 41 million working adults in the US are taking on eldercare responsibilities in a culture that does not talk openly about aging or death.

BUILDING PEACE OF MIND

Peace of Mind Planning is a differentiated offering that supports your employees by leading them through the practicalities of end-of-life preparation while also covering how to navigate these topics with parents and older loved ones.

PRACTICAL PLANNING REDUCES STRESS AND UNCERTAINTY

We tackle the sensitive questions about what to prepare beyond a will or estate plan, and alleviate the anxiety that comes with facing these questions for the first time in a moment of crisis.

REAL CONVERSATIONS FOSTER A CULTURE OF TRUST AND ENGAGEMENT

Hosting the workshop showcases a work environment in which the realities of life—aging, caregiving, death—don’t have to be invisible.

About CORE SERIES

This four-part series leads employees through the completion of their own personal end-of-life paperwork. By the end of the series, participants will have finished their advance directive and organizational life file, as well as having engaged in thought-provoking conversations about their own legacy. In our final session, we facilitate an interactive discussion about navigating these topics with elderly loved ones and the challenges of caregiving.

WHAT WE ADDRESS

“A Good Death” 

What does a “good death” mean to you? How an Advance Directive can help you have agency over your health care decisions.

Celebrating and remembering you

What are new, more eco-friendly, options for disposing of your remains; what kind of celebration would best represent and honor your life?

Getting your affairs in order

Take care of some personal organizational tasks to help your loved ones when you die.

Hard conversations and caregiving

We’ll give you some tips on how to approach the conversations, and a map of things you’ll want to cover. We’ll also facilitate a conversation about the challenges, fears, and joys of caregiving.

    I loved the presenters - they created a good atmosphere (which is hard virtually) and made an otherwise uncomfortable topic easy to relate to and talk about, both as a group and post-event with parents and aging relatives

    I liked the session, but I logged off immediately after I knew we had to go into breakout rooms. Talking to others I don't know about this topic is not something I am comfortable with. However, I do think the topic is important for me to learn about. It was a good topic. Do more of these.

    This was one of the best workshops I have attended! - The speakers from The Heartwood Collective shared great tips and information on what is very tough subject (End of Life planning). I will definitely use the resources they provided. Thank you!

    This was an AMAZING workshop!!! I'm so grateful that we had the privilege of joining this workshop. This will help me and my family be more proactive with end of life planning. I love that there was a mix of presentation, a short breakout session (nice that there wasn't too many breakout sessions so I wouldn't tear up talking about this hard stuff LOL), and Q&A. The resource PDF they shared was fantastic too.

    This was so thought provoking and presented in a very compassionate, open minded way. I especially loved the conversation starter, “Do you have a vision for how you want the rest of your life to look?” and plan to use it, will create my Advanced Directive and Life File, and will discuss with my loved ones sooner than later. Thank you!
