Are you called to this work?
We offer two core programs, the Befriending Death Course & End-of-Life Doula Training. The Befriending Death Course is the foundation to our curriculum, because it is only after we have explored our own beliefs and fears about Death, that we can support others compassionately. Whether you want to become an end-of-life doula through our holistic training or your focus is purely self-reflection, every journey to living fully begins by befriending death.
Befriending Death
This 8-week course invites you to embark on a deep exploration of what it means to befriend death as a vital part of living a meaningful life. Through LIVE Zoom sessions, immersive experiential practices, and reflective exercises, you’ll develop a new relationship with the concept of mortality—one that is rooted in curiosity, courage, and awareness.
This course utilizes the North Star Tool, a Guide for Living and Dying with Purpose. Engage in guided practices designed to help you confront fears, while reflecting on your personal values and beliefs, translating them into practical end-of-life plans that align with your wishes and ensure peace of mind for you and your loved ones. By the end of the course, you will have a complete set of documents outlining your end-of-life preferences, empowering you to navigate end-of-life decisions and conversations.
End-of-Life Doula Training Program
The End-of-Life Doula Pathway is comprised of both the Befriending Death Course and the Doula Training Program.
More than just becoming an end-of-life doula, this journey reveals that death is not an endpoint but a sacred part of the human experience that touches all aspects of LIFE. Participants will take a deep dive into personal, transformative inner work, which they will then learn how to share with their communities. They will gain the knowledge and skills to provide end-of-life coaching and bed-side support using the North Star Tool. In addition, our curriculum covers important topics such as ritual/ceremony, bereavement, vigil, after-death care, and professional development.
