Change the way you live and die.

When you consciously contemplate and connect with others around the reality of your mortality, it will change how you die—and how you live, right here, right now and for the rest of your life.

Transform end-of-life planning into a rich opportunity for personal growth and community connection.

At Willow Workshops® you will check things off your to-do list and learn, grow and even find joy in the process.

Willow Workshops® are a space for personal and group exploration, where instead of being lectured to, you'll actively engage with others through individual, pair, and group sharing exercises.

In Remembering and Being Remembered we’ll look at the who, what, how and why of remembering. Why do you remember people who have died? How do you remember them and how are you impacted by either remembering or not remembering? This workshop will also remind us that we each have an impact on the lives of others. 

In this workshop you will:

  • Dig into the heart of why you remember those who have died.
  • Explore what it is about being remembered that matters to you.
  • Consider the impact your deceased have had on you and that you may have on others when you die.
  • Be called to action to honour the memory of your deceased in ways that work for you.

How to Stop Procrastinating with EOL Planning: A Willow Workshop®

Presented by Willow EOL Educator®, Jacqui Williams
 

April 21, 2024 from

  • 3:30 to 5:30 pm in Australia (AEDT)

The inevitability of death is the one thing in life we’re certain about, yet most people would do anything to avoid talking or even thinking about it. It’s certain your future will include death, after-death care (including how you’ll be laid to rest), and the settling of your estate, regardless of its size. It’s possible that your future will include disability, serious illness, sudden death, a funeral or ceremony of some kind and the gifting or distribution of your financial assets and precious possessions.

What is holding you back from being more prepared? Devoting time and energy to consider and plan ahead for your future —including your inevitable death—will change how you die and how you live, right here, right now, and for the rest of your life.

In this workshop you will:

  • Get introduced to Willow’s Reality of Our Mortality Planning Checklist and gain insight into how this holistic checklist moves beyond conventional planning tasks. 
  • Begin to identify your end-of-life planning priorities.
  • Name what’s stopping you from being in action or completing your EOL planning. 
  • Gain some clarity about how to move forward and feel inspired to get into action.

Many of us know the benefits of preparing for our one-day, some-day death. But sometimes it’s hard to get started. All this planning-ahead business feels overwhelming and fragmented. Or perhaps some basic planning pieces are in place but it feels like your planning documents don’t reflect your true essence.

Based on three tools from Willow’s holistic and pragmatic workbook, 7 Tools for Making Sense of Life & Death, Values, Wishes and Who and What Matter Most will guide you to explore the reality of your mortality in a fun and interactive workshop. Making sense of life and death before making practical arrangements will ensure that your end-of-life planning reflects your values and priorities. Whether you have days or decades left to live, thinking about and preparing for your death will inspire you to live your best life now.

In this workshop you will:

  • Articulate your core values and how they impact your living and dying.
  • Get present to your hopes and fears around your inevitable death.
  • Gain some clarity about who and what matter most.

Greening Your Death and Aligning Your Values: A Willow Workshop®

Virtual

Presented by Willow EOL Educator®, Jacqui Williams
 

March 10, 2024 from 3:30 to 5:30 PM (Brisbane / AEST)

March 10, 2024 from 5:30 to 7:30 AM (UK/GMT)

Many of us do our best to live mindfully and walk lightly on our planet. Yet, we tend to give little consideration to the environmental impact of what happens to us after we die. Partly, this is because we live in a culture fraught with death denial. Typically, when someone dies, a funeral provider is called to remove the person and arrange for either burial or cremation. Most people don’t take the time to understand the array of options within these two choices, or what alternatives are available in addition to these two choices. The good news is, many steps can be taken to green your death no matter where you live, and new options for greening your death are growing. 

In this workshop, you will:

  • Consider and articulate what about greening your death matters to you.
  • Discover the environmental impacts of various choices for after-death care.
  • Learn about green options that may be available in your region.
  • Consider the best way to align your values with your choices.
