Dying Well: Multi-Religious End of Life Conversations

April 2, 2019 from 9:30 am - 3:00 pm

$10 – $25

Conversations about what it means to live well until the very end have a powerful impact on how we live–and how we die. Conversations can help preserve personal autonomy and respect for our faith-based values and practices. They can save families from making uninformed medical decisions when confronted by a crisis. They are an entryway to a deep spiritual practice. And, ultimately, they become a gift and a blessing for all.

While 90% of Americans think having these conversations is important, most of us don’t know how to begin them—or wait too long, which can be too late.

The BTI’s inaugural Life Long Learning conference is designed to provide you with direct experiences and resources you can use to facilitate these sacred conversations in your families and institutions so that no one is left in the dark about what matters most to our congregants and loved ones.

This program is appropriate for all ages and stages of life and education. Students are especially encouraged to attend. Admission is $25.00 for Community Members and $10.00 for Students.
