The Cihuapactli Collective is honored to offer the In-Person Death Comadre Curriculum in May. There are many titles for those who facilitate end-of-life transitions, such as a Death Doula, Death Midwife, or Death Comadre. Because the work of the Collective spans womb to tomb, some refer to themselves as Womb to Tomb Comadres. Regardless of the aspect of transition that you are called to support, in the training, you will have the opportunity to learn about a variety of ways to facilitate different aspects of grief and loss. The in person training will be broken up into two major sections regarding Sacred Transitions and The Business of Death. During Sacred Transitions, we will review both Indigenous and Western teachings regarding end-of-life transitions with special emphasis on prenatal and infant loss, suicide and unexpected loss, helping children cope with grief and loss & pregnancy release. During the Business of Death segment, we will review estate planning, death binders, life insurance, and funeral arrangements.

Those who complete all parts of the training will receive Death Comadre certification through the Cihuapactli Collective. For questions, please write both Enjolie@cihuapactlicollective.org and mayra@cihuapactlicollective.org.

The Cihuapactli Collective strives to be inclusive of our community. This training is open to all but will center BIPOC experiences. We provide training in both English and Spanish, available in-person, online, and through a self-paced course. Please follow us on social media for the latest announcements.
