    If I Die This Year: A Workshop for Living with Clarity, Courage, and Care

    Most of us live as if time is endless—and quietly feel the cost of that assumption. If I Die This Year is a guided workshop for people who want to live more honestly, meaningfully, and aligned with what matters most—without waiting for a crisis to force the question. You don’t need to believe you’ll die this year. You only need to be willing to ask: If I did… how would I want to live until then? Through reflection, gentle guidance, and optional connection with others, you’ll create your own personal “If I Die This Year” list—a living compass made up […]
