The Village Deathcare Citizen Course is a 9 or 12 week training with an expected time commitment of approximately 10 hours per week making this a 111+ hour (in total) certificate course. In addition to the core death doula curriculum we will go deep into ancestral studies, cover an introduction to home funerals, intro to psychedelics in end-of-life care, near death experiences, and work through five books.
Both Sessions, Awake and Dream, have identical content but the Awake session have live zoom calls from 10 am to 12 pm eastern each Sunday and the Dream session has live zoom calls from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm eastern each Sunday. The Awake session has an optional 15 minute morning meditation practice included and the Dream session has a greater emphasis on creating a dream log during the course.... (continue to next column)
APPLICATIONS CLOSING AUGUST 22nd
Both the Awake and the Dream sessions of the Village Deathcare Citizen Course are dedicated to those who truly wish to dive *deep* into the work of death and dying. The time commitment will be held and agreed upon in advance. The content that you share for your weekly writing submissions must be thorough and in-depth (you do not need to be a genius! You just need to put in a sincere effort.) so that your classmates can truly benefit from each individual's contribution in the course. There is a great deal of self-discovery, self-love and self-healing work done in this course as that is the foundation of caregiving- no one can give water from an empty well. And there is *quite* a lot of giving when caring for the dying!
This course is not a grief support group and it is recommended that one take at least a full year to have space and mend after a close death has occurred.
Investment for the 9 week, 90 hour online training with 18 hours of live classes is $790.
This is basic death doula training including ancestry, grief, children, animals and much more.

This option runs from August 25th to October 20th.

You are strongly encouraged to attend each session live as the classes are not recorded for privacy purposes.
Guest speakers will join us on occasion throughout the the course.The Guests are superb at what they do and you'll benefit greatly from learning from them!
The course offers an array of assignments each week (videos, podcasts, articles, experiential activities) but this is also heavily directed by the class itself. We dedicate an entire week to ancestral studies which is in-depth personal work. You are encouraged to meditate (instruction will be offered at the beginning of the course) throughout the twelve weeks. You can expect about six to eight hours of work each week outside of our meeting times. When considering the live Zoom calls and partner work the average time spent will be approximately ten hours per week. However, this is work of the heart and soul and it doesn't just "vanish" from mind when you close the book for the evening. Gently keep that in mind.
You'll need to recognize, engage with and learn about your own community throughout the training. There will be some assignments to keep you connected to others for your own support and to begin to understand how communities work with dying and grief. Remember the intention of this particular course is to reweave deathcare into your own community.
**Full participation in class is mandatory or your acceptance to the course will be withdrawn.**
In recognition that community is stronger when empathy, mindfulness and skills are shared, this course has a fair exchange option so that it is accessible to more individuals.
After being accepted into the course (complete Step One, then Step Two) you will be instructed on which books to purchase either through me, Amazon or your local bookstore. This is a required purchase. Total cost will not exceed $65.00
