    Course Description:  

    Course Description: A Swedish Death Cleaning workshop shares information and tips to simplify our lives inspired by the Swedish concept of “döstädning”, which translates to “death cleaning”. It is not about organizing your belongings as if you were preparing for someone else to sort through them after you are gone. This helps ease the burden on loved ones and allows you to enjoy your possessions while you are alive. Whether you are new to Swedish Death Cleaning or have experienced the loss of a loved one and are looking for guidance on what to do with their belongings, this webinar is inclusive of all ages and walks of life. For those who walk alongside others as part of ministry, this becomes an opportunity to help individuals and families live a more abundant life with less.

    OBJECTIVES:  At the end of this session the participants will:

    • Be aware of why we hold onto things and how to let go with intention
    • Describe practical strategies for simplifying our belongings and space
    • Explain how to live a more abundant life with less (whatever that means to the individual)
    • Address safety and mental health concerns around clutter
    • Discuss tips for passing on meaningful keepsakes and heirlooms
    • Articulate the role of the FCN in educating others in the Swedish Death Cleaning process
