Marcia Free, a member of the American Nurses Association and a nurse for 24 years, will lead this circle. It will include time for structured personal reflection on facing your own mortality and in the process living more fully. All participants will have the opportunity to share their perspectives, tell their stories, and listen deeply. In addition, this circle will offer an exploration of “advance directives” (legal documentation of your wishes for end-of-life care) as a pragmatic step toward preparing for your own death, and to help make talking about death a more comfortable conversation.
