Departure Directions - A Willow Workshop®

Completing your Departure Directions™ will give you peace of mind knowing your final wishes will reflect who you are and what matters most to you while alleviating stress, chaos and worry for the people you leave behind. Articulating and writing your Departure Directions™ will benefit you in the here and now. Understanding all that matters in the end, is a pathway to living and loving fully, now.

Consider that every act of how you are cared for after you die is an opportunity for meaningful rituals that can build, nourish and heal individuals and communities.

 

Virtual on Zoom. (a link will be provided) 4:00-5:30PM

In this workshop, you will:

● Get introduced to Willow’s end-of-life planning tool, 9 Things to Include in Your Departure Directions™.

Living While Mortal Virtual Workshop

June 24, 2026

4:00-5:30pm Eastern time

You can leave the details of your funeral or memorial service to those who will one day grieve your passing—or you can choose to ease that burden by reflecting and planning now. Thoughtfully considering how you wish to be remembered can be a meaningful gift to the people you love.

 

In this workshop, you will explore a wide range of possibilities for honoring your life, both after your death and while you are still living. Guided discussion and gentle reflection will help you clarify what matters most to you. You’ll begin shaping your wishes using a specially designed worksheet, which you can take home as a practical and personal foundation for future planning.

Virtual on Zoom. (a link will be provided) 4:00-5:30PM
