Farewell Education
Death Midwifery is an ancient practice of sacred wisdom that is best taught by being passed down, one practitioner to another, to honor the lineage of this beautiful work. Together, we build communities that better support death and grief as we too do our essential work of learning how to die.
Courses
These courses are designed to be easily accessible - virtual offerings that you can refer to on an as needed basis and are for everyone, death doulas, individuals approaching end-of-life, and caregivers.
Mentorship
Many death doulas have completed formal training but lack confidence is building their hands-on practice. Mentorship is a coaching tool to help you design the offering you are called to offer.
Apprenticeship
The comprehensive apprenticeship is a complete death doula training program, including coursework, one-on-one, in-person instruction, and hands-on tool demonstrations in our local community.

Death Doula Dialogues is a monthly event that gathers local end-of-life workers in community and collaboration to showcase the offerings of our local practitioners. Each event is hosted by a different death or grief practitioner to educate the end-of-life community on their unique skills to better serve our entire community.
“Death is not waiting for us at the end of a long road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment. She is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight. She helps us to discover what matters most. And the good news is we don’t have to wait until the end of our lives to realize the wisdom that death has to offer.”
-Frank Ostaseski, The Five Invitations
