One thing that all of us will have to face eventually is our own mortality.  Whether death comes suddenly or is signalled from afar, it will be easier for us and for those we leave behind if we can plan for its arrival.  Based on the successful Going Gently course, we are now offering this as a one-day Workshop. There will be a mixture of presentations, discussions and Group work, with breaks for tea/coffee.  If you wish to attend the course or if you have any questions, please contact the organiser.
