CERTIFICATE COURSE IN DEATH STUDIES

A Certified Program for Spiritual Care
in Illness & Dying.

Facing death, whether our own or others’, invites us to confront life at its deepest level: impermanence, vulnerability, and the essence of being. In that encounter, the illusions that often govern our daily existence—ego, control, attachment—begin to loosen.

"He who taught men to die would teach them to live".

Step Into the Sacred Work of Spiritual Care

There are few moments in life as profound as walking with someone at the threshold of death. To be fully present,
to offer comfort, understanding, and spiritual support, is a gift—and it begins with understanding yourself.

In this certified program, you will embark on a journey that is as much about your own growth as it is about helping others.
Over six transformative weekends, you will explore:

How to provide compassionate, informed spiritual care for those who are dying
The art of presence: being fully available while respecting boundaries
Palliative care, suffering, and how to accompany people through physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges
Diverse religious and cultural perspectives on death and dying
Reflection on your own mortality to cultivate empathy, courage, and clarity

Each day includes four hours of live online training, combining interactive lessons, guided reflection, and practical exercises to ensure that you leave not just with knowledge, but with wisdom and presence.
