Description
Compassionate Accompaniment
& the Labor of the Life, Death & Transition Doula
A Life, Death & Transition Doula is a compassionate companion, supporter, advocate, assistant to any person ready and willing to contemplate loss, grief, death and the natural cycles of living and dying in order to live a fuller, more meaningful life to its most peaceful end.
Compassionate Accompaniment is a state of being, a lifestyle, a spiritual practice, a natural human impulse, and a grossly untapped human potential.
In this experiential immersion training we explore and tap into our own depths and capacity for compassionate presence, care & accompaniment with self and other through the cycles of life-death-life.
A Transpersonal Approach to Learning Online
Compassionate accompaniment is fundamental to any work of healing through life transitions, loss, traumatic event, natural disaster, and preparing for the end of life and what comes after death.
Throughout the course, students participate in a dynamic, experiential learning process that addresses all aspects of being: physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual.
Transpersonal Goals
- To provide a background in the models, approaches, and practices of compassionate accompaniment.
- To help students inquire into the nature of their own and others’ subjective experience from an embodied, compassionate perspective.
- To facilitate personal transformation as well as philosophical and action oriented development to support a life of service.
- To foment an embodied, compassionate, intentional personal and professional life in healthy relationship with our shared human vulnerability to change, loss and mortality.
We achieve these goals through readings, discussion forums, reflection exercises, creative explorations, inquiry into personal story, experiential activities, spiritual practices, individual and group tasks.
