It’s your funeral, so have it the way you want it! This course explores death and dying in a non-threatening, light-hearted way. It will help attendees become comfortable talking about death; ease the burden on the loved ones; ensure that health care wishes are known; and limit unwanted financial expenses. The loved ones we leave behind deserve better than a mess to clean up after us, so let's have some fun doing what needs to be done. Participants are encouraged to attend all four sessions, do assignments between sessions, and share their thoughts, concerns, and plans with other course members.

Many of us plan our vacations, at least in part, with some spiritual or patriotic motivations. It might be visiting and appreciating the grandeur of a National Park, what some have called “Nature’s Cathedrals.” It might be visiting a heritage or historical tourism park, like Colonial Williamsburg. Or it might be visiting a memorial, museum or commemorative site like the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. This course will look at eco-tourism and relations with Native American tribal groups who hold certain sites as sacred.
