Workshops

	Living Legacies workshops Living Legacies offers personalised workshops about living, dying and funerals. These can help you plan your funeral and make your wishes known to your family and friends, and/or explore your feelings and any fears you may have about your death or the death of someone you love.
"Live so that you don't look back and regret that you've wasted your life. Live so you don't regret the things you have done, or wish that you had acted differently. Live life honestly and fully. Live" Elisabeth Kübler-Ross	In particular, we offer workshops to family* groups, whether or not someone has been diagnosed with a terminal illness (because we are all mortal), as an opportunity to build on your relationships and communicate with one another your feelings, plans, worries and hopes around death. A funeral can be a time of great conflict if the deceased's wishes are not fully understood and accepted by all, and grieving can be prolonged if it's complicated by regrets such as "We should have done....", and "I wish I had said something", and "Now it's too late." Conversely, it can also be a time of celebration, understanding and love. Whilst funerals are seldom enjoyable, groups who have participated in such a workshop and discussed the matter in depth before someone dies usually manage the event much more gracefully than those who are emotionally unprepared. *Living Legacies uses the word "family" to describe any group of people bound together by choice or by any common thread.

Our workshops cater for the needs of groups of 3 to 40 people, can be designed and varied according to participants wishes, and held anywhere in New Zealand. Please let us know what your requirements are.
