Course schedule

Zoom Classes

We will meet once per week for 9 weeks and you will connect with a partner once per week on your own time.  We will meet live via Zoom every Sunday night from 7:00-8:45 pm eastern. You are strongly encouraged to attend each session live as the classes are not recorded for privacy purposes. 

Reading, Research & Meditation

There will be a good deal of assignments throughout each week but this is also heavily directed by the class itself. You are strongly encouraged to meditate (instruction will be offered at the beginning of the course) throughout the 9 weeks. You can expect about four to six hours of work each week outside of our meeting times. However, this is work of the heart and soul and it doesn't just "vanish" from mind when you close the book for the session. Gently keep that in mind.

Community and Partner

You'll need to be talking with your own community throughout the training and others in the group while you engage in this work! 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**Full participation in class is mandatory or your acceptance to the course will be withdrawn.**

payment for course

Deathcare is A Birth Right

In recognition that community is stronger when empathy, mindfulness and skills are shared, this course has a donation option so that it is accessible to more individuals. 

Purchase Your Books

After being accepted into the course (complete Step One and 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  $30.00 

Fair Exchange

The course donation amount is $350. However, if you are unable to pay that full amount you may engage in a Fair Exchange. You will be asked to pay as much as you can and if it is not the full amount of the course value, you may refer to the list of Fair Exchange opportunities to come to a value of $350.  There is a required $75 course enrollment fee as a minimum monetary contribution.  (If you are able to offer the full amount of $350 your enrollment fee is included) 

step one

Thank you for your application! You will hear about your application within 7 days

After you have been accepted, you may proceed to Step Two for payment (donation or Fair Exchange) below.

Step Two- Fair trade

Determine Payment/Fair Exchange

Step Two in the application process is to pay the $75 enrollment fee (link below) or pay the full amount of $350 (which includes the enrollment fee.) After being accepted in Step One, if you pay the full amount your application and acceptance to the course is complete.

 If you need to engage in Fair Exchange we have to come to an agreement before you are accepted to the course. Below are some examples you can trade for the Village Deathcare Certificate Course. Your total donation/exchange should be valued at $350 (which includes the enrollment fee). A combination of monetary donation and Fair Exchange is a good option if your Fair Exchange offerings cannot total $275.  


*Some of these options will be filled for each course. Submit your application early if you wish to do Fair Exchange.*  


  • Dry firewood, gallons of maple syrup, truck load of "ready" compost, landscaping, simple carpentry, house painting, plumbing services, gift certificate to your store or restaurant, snow plowing, stone work (rebuild stone wall/remove old well) dumpster for removal of junk/truck transport to dump, simple repair work (broken lamps need fixing) tire/oil change,  dog training or grooming, car detail cleaning, professional editing services, online gift certificate to your Etsy store or something similar... if those don't fit, make a suggestion. 


To come to an agreement on the Fair Exchange, reply to the email thread that we used for Step One that way all information is in the same place. 

STEP THREE

Once you have been accepted and confirmed your Payment/Fair Exchange...

  • Purchase your books
  • Set aside Sunday nights for the live classes from 7-8:45 eastern
  • Familiarize yourself with Zoom
  • Be sure you have a Google Account
  • Make sure you have Chrome as an option for your browser
  • Be prepared to go through the classroom set up process three days before the class begins.
  • Tell your friends and family what you are doing so they know you will be doing deep work
  • Invite your friends and family to join the course
  • Secure a notebook or journal for the course
  • Remember, full participation in the course is required or your acceptance to the program will be withdrawn. 
  • Course work time will take between four and six hours per week in addition to the Zoom calls and partner connections

Drop expectations for the course

Whether you have cared for one who has died, are doing it right now, or you have taken other death doula trainings, approach this training with an engaged curiosity. Drop any expectations you may have. There are no experts here- not me and not you and unless the deceased return to tell us how their dying went, we must remain humble with hearts wide open and ever ready to learn and serve.
