This 8-part live webinar will help you prepare for the end of life—psychologically, socially, and legally.
It will help you overcome anxieties and work through important choices about your own death and dying.
The course includes content and optional activities for you to do at your own pace. It also features a parallel track offered in Virtual Reality for anyone with a VR headset. An Instructional Design for Dying has been tested in an APA accredited CEU licensure program and is now available to the public for the first time through Renegade University.
What are the Benefits?
- Reduced Anxiety, from an informed acceptance, developed through personal effort and learning from other people’s experiences.
- Increased Appreciation, with the appraisal of priorities evoked by death showing what to value most now.
- Peace of Mind, from producing well-considered Directives and Proxies that will increase the likelihood of your wishes being respected later and the people you care about having an easier time.
- Intimacy and Strengthening of important relationships that conversations about dying and mortality can help create.
