- **Event Name**: Clear is Kind: A Retreat for End of Life Planning
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join end-of-life doulas and educators from the Death Collective of Eastern Iowa for a weekend of honest, open-hearted conversation on preparing for the end of life. While death is inevitable, we often don’t talk about it or mindfully plan for it.

This retreat will cover multiple facets of the death and dying process. You will be equipped with practical advanced care planning tools for medical and end-of-life choices; strategies for dealing with Anticipatory Grief in healthy ways; opportunity to explore one’s wishes, values and vision of end-of-life to include the creation of a Vigil Plan; communication tools for discussing values around medical choices, illness, and death with families and friends; and dedicated time for reflections through meditation and movement as well as open, honest conversations about your mortality or the mortality of someone you love.

This retreat will be helpful to those supporting elderly family members or friends or those seeking guidance in their own journey. Families are welcome! Best-selling author and psychologist Brene Brown states: “Clear is kind.” We invite you to demonstrate kindness to yourself and those you love with thoughtful planning and clear communication.

The cost of this overnight retreat is $195 and includes sessions, Friday lodging, and Saturday breakfast and lunch. The commuter fee is $125 and includes sessions and Saturday lunch. A non-refundable deposit of $25 is required at registration. (Full payment is required to register online.
