​​CERTIFICATION

​Doorway Into Light has been offering certification as an end-of-life doula, death doula and minister of death since 2017.

We are now partnering up with the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California
for our next death doula certification program that will be offered in late spring or early summer as an online program.
​We are currently designing the curriculum. 
 
Requirements:
  • Attending our 5-day training on Maui or attending our Online Program.  
  • Attending our online program in association with the Esalen Institute, 'Aging, Dying and Death, The Teachings of the Three Hearts' that will be offered in April, 2021.
  • If attending the online program, a 500 word report on each of the segments of the program is required.
  • 70 hours of bedside sitting with the dying. 20 hours of sitting with the grieving. This may need to be modified due to covid.
  • Filling out reports for each sitting.
  • Attending online video conferences each month (6 required).
  • A final paper summarizing the course highlights and how you benefited, as well as how you are, or planning, to take this work forwards.

​In order to satisfy the bedside sitting requirements, it is advised that you be a hospice volunteer or have a profession that provides opportunities for bedside sitting (nurse, chaplain, doctor, home health aid, etc). We have found people without these skills often have difficulty finding opportunities to sit at the bedside of the dying.
