Our Mission

A Sacred Passing's mission is to guide and assist people in their living, dying and death while honoring individual autonomy and living in action through community care. In community, we work to actively dismantle systems of oppression as they present in death and dying through education, care, and advocacy (see more on our linktree).

A Sacred Passing offers death and dying education to individuals, community associations, and medical organizations. We work hard to  educate, collaborate, and share ways to be supportive nonmedical companions.

In addition to education, we offer no cost places to Die to people seeking a safe space to make their end of life choices.  

The crew within A Sacred Passing is made up of people, primarily in traditional Duwamish land (Seattle, WA), who work with community deathcare to create and sustain authentic partnerships in death care through consent, inclusivity, and active interruption of oppression.  

Acting on these core values includes building access-focused, anti-racist, and gender-inclusive environments, death doula trainings, educational offerings, community events, and resources.  

** Our education has been considered Death Doula, Death Midwifery, and End of Life Doula, trainings.  With the commodification, capitalization and monetization of this care since 2020, we have changed the name of our training to express our values.  Our programming is for Deathcare providers, people who care for the dying with no need for certifications and licenses.
