What matters most when we think about the end of life? How can we make choices that reflect our values, support the people we love, and help us live more fully now?
Join facilitator Wendy Usher for a welcoming community conversation about end-of-life planning, personal choice, family, and the things that give our lives meaning. Participants will reflect on their own priorities, listen to different perspectives, and consider questions they may want to discuss with family members, friends, caregivers, or medical providers.
This beginner-friendly conversation is open to adults of all ages. It may be especially meaningful for elders, caregivers, families, partners, and friends who want a thoughtful way to begin talking about a subject that can sometimes feel difficult or uncomfortable. No previous knowledge or planning is required, and participants may share as much or as little as they choose.
You will leave with a clearer sense of what matters to you, useful questions for future conversations, and a deeper understanding of how talking about death can help us care for one another and approach life with greater intention.
This is a facilitated conversation, not a lecture, medical seminar, or legal planning session.
Presented in partnership with Oregon Humanities as part of its Conversation Project.
