We know that tackling an advance directive can be tough, so we’ve set up this workshop to make it easy. Whether you’re just beginning to make end-of-life plans or only need to finalize a few things things, we’ve got everything you need in one place: expert advice, multiple form templates, and signing witnesses.

We really believe this workshop is what you need to get your advance directive completed. We’ve seen how much relief it brings people once they’ve got it all down on paper. So, come join us, get your questions answered, and walk away with your completed advance directive. You’ll be glad you did, and so will your loved ones.

Movie lovers, it’s almost time for another gathering with our Hemlock friends for the Right-to-Die Film Series!

When:       Sunday, June 16th from 1:30 to 4:30pm
Where:      North University Community Library
8821 Judicial Drive
San Diego, CA 92122

Our June selection is “Guzaarish”, an uplifting and gorgeously-made movie from India in English that deals with hope, magic, and life. Ethan Mascarenhas, formerly the world’s greatest magician, has been quadriplegic since a performance went wrong 14 years before. For the past 12 years Ethan’s health has been relatively stable, largely due to the relentless dedication of his nurse, Mrs Sofia D’Souza. He lives and works at his home, spreading new magic to millions of people with his irrepressible wit and spirit through books he has written and his radio show. But now his internal organs are failing. To avoid permanent hospitalization and machine life-support, Ethan petitions a court to be legally allowed to die. Ethan’s request – his ‘guzaarish’ – shocks everyone in his world, but especially threatens his relationship with Sofia, who is the core of his existence. Click Here to Watch the Trailer

There is no charge for this event and we’ll even provide refreshments. Ample free parking is available at the library. After the film we will break into small groups for discussion. This part was very well-received at our April film.  All are welcome, so please help us spread the word and invite your family, friends, and colleagues.
