Journey to Peace Instead of Paperwork is a free, guided workshop series that helps individuals and families create practical plans before crisis or loss occurs.
Through real examples, live instruction, and supportive discussion, participants learn how to:
Prepare essential emergency and end-of-life documents
Organize vital household, financial, and medical information
Build a personalized system that reduces chaos for loved ones
Make thoughtful decisions now that bring peace later
This series transforms a difficult, emotional topic into a meaningful experience — empowering adults of all ages to replace confusion with clarity and confidence.
Families, caregivers, widows and widowers, parents, adults planning alone, and anyone navigating shared family responsibilities.
In-person across Mid-Missouri, with virtual access available nationwide.
Nokbox, short for “Next of Kin Box,” is an already-developed organization system that helps individuals and families gather the information loved ones may need during an emergency, major life transition, or after a death.
Instead of creating another binder from scratch, Nokbox provides a structured way to organize important household, financial, personal, medical, digital, and end-of-life information in one place.
Through Unbury the Burden, families can learn about Nokbox as a practical preparedness tool for creating more peace, clarity, and direction for the people they love.
Individuals, families, older adults, caregivers, military families, veterans, and anyone who wants to make life easier for their loved ones.
