Join author Oliver Christen and Preparing the Way founder and lead educator Helen Callanan for a special live online conversation inspired by Oliver's memoir, As She Chose.

Oliver's book shares the deeply personal story of accompanying his mother as she made a conscious choice about the end of her life through voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED).

Together, Oliver and Helen will explore choice, agency, preparation, family support and what it can mean to feel complete with living, with an opportunity for participants to submit questions for Oliver.
