Hi loves,
I wanted to send another invite to this workshop on becoming a death doula.
As I continue to put the final touches on what I plan to share, I am reflecting on how much courage it takes to do this work.
We are asked to show up and awaken others from collective amnesia, figure out how to make it a business, and educate those around us amid stigma and fear.
Death work, in these times, is for the courageous.
The truth is that the easy part is taking a training.
The real work begins when no one has ever heard of what you do.
When no one shows up to your events.
When people don’t see the value in your services until it’s too late.
Will we give up…?
I have seen many stop here. Or stop before they even start.
My hope with this event is that through creating collective support in this realm, we can find the courage and fortitude to dream up creative solutions.
To stay committed to the assignment.
We can’t do this work alone, which is why I created this workshop.
I am also seeking more connections to others in this realm.
And as a reminder, you don’t have to create a business to get involved.
If there is even one tiny part of you curious about this work, I’d love to have you join.
It usually starts as a curious tap, and then it grows.
We gather today, and then access to this resource will increase in price a bit.
If you can’t make it live, you will get the replay, along with bonus resources.
Let’s do this.
With love,
Lisa Marie
I hope you haven’t given up on this. I have been a death worker for over a decade and have watched the growth of the death doula movement with some concern. The greatest flaw is that all the trainings out there ( and I teach in several) train people to do this work as individuals. This is communal work. I commend you for taking the steps to build community. And I would love to be a part of you build.
