A Comprehensive Intro to Deathwork

Watch the Replay
Merging ancient wisdom & contemporary choices

We're living through a cultural shift around death and dying.

As we collectively move away from fear and outdated conventions, toward a more generative and equitable future, the need for compassionate, care-based communities is greater than ever. We're experienced Death & Dying educators who are passionate about teaching the importance of sacred deathwork. The time is now to learn.

What does it mean to walk alongside someone as they approach the threshold of life and death? What does a Death Doula even do?

Though it seems new and trendy, the profession of the death doula is rooted in age-old traditions that span cultures and histories. Death Doulas are a necessary part of any healthy society, blending ancient wisdom with heartfelt presence as they guide individuals and their families through the sacred transition of death, and helping to ensure equitable, dignified end-of-life experiences for all.

Our introductory course, Death Doula 101, invites you into the heart of this sacred role. Here, you'll uncover the historical importance and modern-day revival of Death Doulas. We delve deep into what services a Death Doula provides and how this age-old practice has been rejuvenated to address the intricacies of contemporary end-of-life care.

Whether you're dipping your toe into deathwork, thinking about hiring a doula for a loved one, or just death-curious, this course is an accessible, down-to-earth exploration that pulls back the curtain and answers your questions.

Just a quick thank you for all that you are exposing me to. After each evening session I feel alive, my heart more full of excitement than at any other time during the day. The diverse perspectives, the new vocabulary, the inside look that is so hard to find on my own...it is all making me a stronger and more informed advocate for the people that I care for.
