Calendar of Events

Circle of Friends for the Dying actively promotes events that give people the opportunity to explore their feelings about end-of-life. We feel that knowledge is power, which can bring great relief during a time of powerlessness. We can’t control our dying, but we can explore ways to face it so that the choices available to us become meaningful options.

Let us know how we can contact you when things are happening! Because we are continuing to develop new events, please visit often or be notified of future events by signing up here.
