*The What:* We are piloting a workshop/seminar or series, that would allow people (no matter what age) to think seriously and intentionally about their final journey in life, their death, and make concrete decisions about their funeral/memorial service, organ or body donation, distribution of assets, obituary, burial/ cremation/ natural, etc. *The Why:* Many of us who have seen our parents or children die, are beginning to look at our own end of life decisions. In 2019 Dick Alton had a real-life health-related scare, followed by the unanticipated death of his partner of 14 years, Sally Stovall, which caused him to look death in the eyes. He discovered that one of the issues Americans in particular face, is a denial of death or anything to do with death. As an organization that has seen itself as one who brings significance to everyday life events, we are asking the question: “What could we create that would help everyone, no matter what age, to look at their own death, and make the necessary end of life decisions? *Our Ask:* The Third Cohort of the Last Chapter virtual learning community will take place on the fourth Friday from March - June 2021.
