This time of living has pushed A Sacred passing to new spaces. We are now offering all of our course catalog online. While the adjustment is a big one, it will increase access to our classes outside of Seattle and to those folx that have have faced a hurdle to attending in person.
Once we can gather, we will offer an in person hands on skills class for both Level 1 and Level 2 classes. There are some things that are very important to learn with your hands, breathe in and feel from the hair on your arms to the center of your gut.
Currently Online Only
Level 1: A Death Companion is designed to share education with people on ways to better support community during
the end of-life process. This course offers training in the physical, practical and emotional care of the living, the dying and the dead.
Some of the topics we cover are strengthening listening skills, companioning the dying, impact of identity, creating a death plan, understanding signs of death, vigil process, disposition options, privilege, holding space and advance planning.
We discuss who has and who doesn't have access to deathcare and what role we can hold while working in these racist and biased systems that exist in the United States. This is the start of a journey and is recommended for all people who will die, or know someone who will. This is also a prerequisite for our Level 2 class.
