We believe that knowledge is the key to understanding. Our goal is to provide educational learning about death, dying, grieving, and end-of-life care in a respectful teaching environment to help prepare you for future experiences, understand past ones, and facilitate conversations about death among friends and families.
We Understand that everyone has their own experiences and knowledge base and we Embrace these differences. We Endeavor to provide a Respectful learning environment for Exploring questions related to death, dying, and grieving.
In person classes allow learners to converse with instructors in person, which leads to deeper understanding and better retention of information.
Pre-recorded classes learned on your own are not interactive and questions cannot be answered. Talking about death is part of the process of learning about death.
If you are unable or choose not to attend in person, we offer a live streaming option of the class.
We understand that not everyone is comfortable learning about death, dying, and greiving in the classroom setting. The live-streaming option allows you to be a part of the class from the comfort of your own environment.
We endeavor to make accessible to the general public academic theories, studies, and knowledge about death, dying, and grieving to allow for a deeper understanding of previous experiences and a greater awareness for those yet to come. We understand that everyone has their own experiences and perspectives about death, dying, and grieving and we embrace and appreciate these differences.
We believe that knowledge is best gained and retained through interactive experiences with instructors and fellow learners. Asking questions leads to self-awareness and learning with others brings awareness of other's thoughts and experiences while providing solidarity.
