These workshops have been created and are taught by Death Doulas of Manitoba founder Michelle Leray. Each of these workshops will help you to begin to understand how to communicate better about death and dying, and provide you with the information, education, tools, skills, and knowledge you need to either enhance your death doula skills, or to help your loved ones and friends as they go through their time of transition. These workshops are open to all people, and you can attend either in person or join in via Zoom. In person seating is limited so be sure you book your spot as soon as possible!<\/p>\n
No experience with deathcare is required to join in on these informative classes. Whether you are just curious about how to be more present during this sacred part of our lives, or you are considering a career as an end of life doula, you will definitely gain a great deal of perspective and awareness by participating in these discussions!<\/p>\n
Death Doulas of Manitoba Members have the option of joining at a special rate!
