Excellent ideas for how to be present with someone in grief.

Registration for the next cohort of Sharing Your Gifts: An Introduction to Creating Online workshops, is about to open up! Join me for this 10-week adventure. You'll define the unique qualities that make you stand out as a death doula, build your facilitation skills, and create an online workshop that takes your practice to the next level. This course runs April 21-June 23rd and there are only 10 seats. Registration opens tomorrow at 9am at www.circlespace.ca (the first cohort sold out in less that 2 weeks - register early to avoid disappointment!)

Well, I am beyond proud of the work Sharing Your Gifts students are doing! Today, each student facilitated a 10-minute item from their workshop (which is still in development). This was the day where the rubber hit the road, where they pulled together all their learning from the previous 5 weeks. And it was GLORIOUS! This post by Christina Guerin MT shows the incredible volume of work these students have done and just how much they are leaping forward in their practice. Chr...issi shows how deeply she’s considered the needs of her ideal participants, has chosen a small sliver of a very big topic (advance care planning), and made it a rich learning experience by defining exactly what her participants will be able to do by the end of her workshop. AND, she has created her own doula identity, describing who she is and her unique approach to serving her clients. Wow. How badly do you want to attend this workshop? I sure do! If you’d like to take your practice to the next level like Chrissi has, I’d love you to join me and 9 of your death doula peers for a truly transformational experience. I’ll be launching registration for the next Sharing Your Gifts cohort early next week! Send me a message if you’d like a direct invitation to register or check back on the CircleSpace page for details next week.

Emerging death doulas, join me for another Fireside Chat! March 23rd at 11am

Hello doula community, What would you like to talk about at our fireside chat? Any burning questions ? (Haha )

Well this is a full circle moment for me. I remember my Gran had stacks and stacks of old Readers Digest issues in her home (I can still remember the smell of those musty pages!) Now, being featured in this iconic publication is a huge privilege. And they did such a wonderful job, devoting a whole feature to exploring dying and grief in Canada in, A Planner's Guide to Dying. I encourage you to get on down to your local grocery store and get this holiday edition! Reader's Digest Canada

This is one of the things that makes Earths Options so special: Home funeral support.

This morning I’m crafting my lesson plans for a not so secret course I’ll be launching in the new year! If you are a death doula and you’d like to create an online offering that serves your community and reflects your passions, growing skills and excitement about this amazing field - come learn with me! There’s only 8 spots available. Send me an email if you’d like to be placed on the interest list to be notified as soon as registration is open! [email protected]
