60 Hour End-Of-Life Doula Training (with Certification)

This training will take place at the Historic Oakland Manor House, a boutique B&B Inn located on the southern shore of Lake Apopka in Florida.  Special room prices for training participants. 

We facilitate for small groups to encourage deep sharing by creating a safe and sacred container for exploration and learning. This exciting and inspiring weekend training includes lecture, discussion, role playing, films, meditation, journaling, learning hands on skills, and group exploration. As a prerequisite for the training you will be asked to complete reading, reflecting and writing exercises. You will investigate your feelings and experience with death and dying, loss and grief. We are asking you to show up fully for this experience even before it begins. Once the training is completed you are encouraged to volunteer with a hospice, a nursing home, or a private-care home in order to complete your patient hours and to get more experience in supporting the dying with your new end-of-life doula skills. If you are already a caregiver you can complete your hours with those you are supporting if the situation allows.
