Death Journal Class Sept. 2023

Death Journaling - FREE

Come spend 90 minutes with Death Doula and Grief Coach Aypril Porter, creating your personal death journal. A death journal is a notebook that you will use to record your thoughts, wishes, memories, and more. You can use it to explore your thoughts on end-of-life topics and what kind of funeral or memorial service you’d hope for so your loved ones can understand and fulfill your wishes.

This is also a legacy project where you can share your favorite memories, quotations, scripture, or anything important to you. You can share your own wisdom of what you’ve learned in your journey through life and want to leave for your family. Families and friends cherish these journals to help them remember you and what was important to you long after you are gone. Having something you touched, worked on, and wrote in helps them feel connected to you.

Please bring a notebook to work on. This can be as simple as an inexpensive three-ring binder or as fancy as an art journal. We’ll have pens, markers, paints, and inspiration for things to write about or consider as we spend time together in community, discussing and sharing thoughts, ideas, and memories and creating your personal death journal. You can start this at any age and add to it as things come up or thoughts change. Feel free to bring any magazines, articles, pictures, or other mementos you’d like to include.
