In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Hopefully, you’ve learned how to manage the taxes. Now it’s time to explore how to manage death. Why wait until you are in a crisis before looking at the end of life? This workshop explores the end of life, the dying process and death - answering the many questions we are often too afraid to ask. Once we reframe death as a natural part of life, we can allay our fears and fully embrace life. Whether you are a health care practitioner, chaplain, retiree or caregiver, this workshop will provide you with skills to help your patients, your loved ones or yourself at the end of life. Sat, Oct 3, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Instructor: Dr. Kriss Kevorkian, PhD, MSW. (7.5 CEUs, PDAs, CMEs)

Are you uncomfortable and tired in crowds? Easily affected by others’ emotions? Feel drained, in pain or suffer burnout? If so, you need to develop and maintain strong intuitive energetic boundaries. That requires learning how your intuition works and how to identify set points, or baselines, for your physical and energetic bodies. In this seminar you will explore how to set those baselines, determine when energetic imbalances occur, and how to correct and maintain them. Sat, Oct 3, 10 a.m.- 6 p.m. Instructor: Robyn M. Fritz, MA, MBA. (6.5 CEUs, PDAs)
