The time has come!

April 30 and May 1

2 – 5 PM

Visit us for our Open House.

Seminars are scheduled all through May.

Come down to the Expected Outcome Venue, meet Alison and see what is happening in May.

Join me to explore the book “Being with Dying” written by Roshi Joan Halifax.

Each bi-weekly session will be a guided meditation/discussion experience on each chapter of the book.

Each session reflects on one chapter, so you can sign up for as many as you like and don’t need to attend each week if that is your preference.

There are nineteen chapters in this book. If you haven’t read the weekly chapter you are still welcome to attend as it will unfold as we share our thoughts and breaths together.

No meditation experience is necessary.

Please join me for 2 hours that will help you explore new and old ideas and also serve as a true form of self care for you.

The book “Being With Dying” is available for purchase at Expected Outcome supporting our local bookstore Shelf Life Books.

This will be a creative class for expression and exploration. There will be a simple project or craft. It is for respite, relief and release. There will be a framework provided but discussion, sharing and questions are encouraged. Bring your heavy hearts and exhausted self.   

Join me for this 90 minute gently guided time where you can freely express your thoughts and your grief and hopes with others who have experienced the death of a loved one in a safe and non-judgemental environment.

Refreshments provided.

Everyone has their own ideas, often negative, about what Palliative care entails. It is confusing. Is it just drugs and death? Why wouldn’t I do EVERYTHING?

Did you know that some studies have demonstrated that not only does a palliative approach increase quality of life but sometimes length of life.  In this 2 hour presentation we will explore and discuss many issues that you may face on this journey, such as feeding, palliative treatments, extraordinary measures; the pros and cons of each will be discussed.

Please bring your questions and your fears

Mother’s Day can be a difficult time if you are grieving the loss of your mother, a child, a mother figure in your life.

This 2 hour seminar is a resource based seminar rich with anecdotal stories. You will learn what resources are available in Calgary for those diagnosed with a palliative illness, those who are journeying with them and resources for support after the death of a loved one. This knowledge can be used for yourself or for a loved one or friend; now or in the future.

You will receive an emailed resource list with resources available in Calgary, Alberta and an updated list will be sent to you twice a year.

Stories from the bedside will be interspersed with “Top Ten” lists related to communication for friends and family during and after the illness and death of a loved one. Resources for managing the death of a family pet, understanding funerals, the value of a “death binder” will be some of the topics covered from a resource based perspective.

And ultimately, finding the joy in living our best life.
