THE TEACHINGS OF THE 3 HEARTS
The physical heart where we address the logistical and the physical; the emotional/psychological heart where address our relationships with self and community; and the spiritual heart where we address our relationship with the sacred.

Facing Death Nourishing Life provides the skills, understandings and information to: One, Prepare for one's own approaching dying and death, Two, Become confident and proficient in caring for a dying loved one and others, Three, Provide beginning skills and understandings for the care of someone with brain disorders, and Four, Build the willingness and capacity to meet what is dying in the world.

Learning what dying well entails, what it asks of us, will transform our lives and support us in becoming deeper people. It will help us meet our dying time when it arrives.
It also turns out be be essential when we are called upon to provide care for the dying.
It deepens our willingness and capacity
to meet what is dying in the world.
Along with the logistical steps of ‘getting our house in order’, we will engage in the emotional/psychological steps toward healing relationships with oneself and with others, and the spiritual work for completing one’s life and leaving in peace. 
This training has the possibility to transform both your life and your death.

This training is for all those who wish to prepare for their dying time and their death; for those who may care for a dying loved one, those who currently work in the fields of caring for the dying and their families, those wishing to, or being called to work in these fields, those who care about the world, and those who may die.

"A death doula, first and foremost, is a ‘placeholder’ in the community,
representing the presence of death in community life. A community resource for individuals, families and professionals in these fields.
One who 'shows up for death' "

Our values

Heart centered

We are here to help , at whatever stage of the journey you may find yourself in. We are here to listen and support you in some of life's most precious and difficult moments.

Green & Sustainable

We are bringing forth options for after-death care that are  natural, holistic, and environmentally sustainable.

Not for profit

We seek to re-invent and revolutionize the funeral home and the funeral industry, transforming the “business of dying” and returning it to “sacred service”.

We are a family, not a team

We work with community organizations, such as local hospices, hospitals, non-profits, and religious organizations in growing and deepening care for the aging and the dying.
