SUMMARY:*VIRTUAL* Death Café
DESCRIPTION:At a Death Café\, anyone can participate! We gather in a virtual environment\, to openly and tenderly talk about death and dying. The conversation is facilitated and is a completely open and safe space to share your experiences\, feelings\, thoughts\, and ideas on any topic related to death and dying. There is no set agenda. This is a discussion group\, not a grief support group\, although many people share about the loss of loved ones. So bring a cup of tea and join us on Zoom in this supportive and welcoming environment.  \nParticipation is free\, but registration is required. \n***** \nTo keep our community safe\, this event is being held online. Please register at least 60 minutes in advance to receive the login info needed to join the event. \nYour Zoom link and Zoom phone numbers (for those calling in) will be in your email confirmation. THANK YOU!

SUMMARY:*VIRTUAL* Take Charge! Guided Advance Care Planning (two-part workshop)
DESCRIPTION:What matters most to you? If you were facing serious illness\, what kind of care would you want? If you couldn’t speak for yourself\, who would? \nPlanning for your future care can bring peace of mind – to you and your loved ones. Advance care planning is a process that helps you decide and document what kind of care you would want – and what kind you would not want – if you have a health crisis and are not able to communicate or make decisions. \nIn this free 2-part online course (August 11 and 18)\, you will learn more about advance care planning and the steps you can take to help get the care you want\, based on what matters most to you. You will be guided through the process of thinking about what is important to you\, talking about it with those close to you (including your doctor)\, selecting someone to act as your representative\, and completing an Advance Health Care Directive to document your decisions. At the conclusion of this training\, you will have all the information you need to complete your Advance Directives and the tools to do it. \nInstructors: Mary Matthiesen is the chief strategy officer with Mission Hospice & Home Care – one of the original and still independent non-profit hospices in California – and has led awareness initiatives on end-of-life issues internationally. \nConnie Borden\, RN\, MSN\, ANP\, is an advance practice nurse with 28 years of experience in hospice and palliative care. She has led a local nonprofit hospice as executive director and worked on inpatient services as a palliative consultant. She had presented advance care planning information during her 15 years at San Francisco’s St. Mary’s Medical Center.

SUMMARY:*VIRTUAL* Game Night: The Death Deck
DESCRIPTION:Come play the card game that lets you explore the “taboo” topic we’re often afraid to discuss.  \nThe Death Deck’s cards are filled with a sense of humor to ease the tension surrounding the subject matter and are the perfect ice-breaker to get important conversations started.  \nCome solo — or bring a friend or family member — with a willingness to go into unchartered territory for a night of laughing\, bonding\, and life-changing dialogue. Spectators and game-players are both welcome. \nThe Death Deck creators\, Lori LoCicero and Lisa Pahl\, LCSW will be leading this night of fun!
