A Heart Centre for Community End-of-Life Care
Welcome to a space for reflection, learning, and remembering what it means to live well and die well.
All are welcome on this journey as we get reacquainted with the natural experience of living and dying. Together, we can write a new story, one that nourishes us as we walk alongside each other in the wilderness of life and death.
HEART CONNECTIONS
Explore some of our upcoming offerings below.
Whether you yourself are navigating or supporting another on the end-of-life journey, seeking to better prepare yourself for the inevitable, or are a guide for others on the path, these heart-centred offerings seek to help you live well, love well, and die well. They provide opportunities for listening, supporting, and sharing information, deepening our connection within our hearts and the hearts of those around us.
NEW COURSE
A self-paced training for end-of-life doulas and palliative care professionals seeking to integrate gentle touch into their practice
Through guided learning, demonstration, and reflection, we explore safe application, consent, aromatherapy, and practitioner self-care, with optional live office hours to support integration and confidence in offering touch within serious illness and end-of-life care.
The intention of this offering is to cultivate skill, clarity, and grounded presence so practitioners can provide gentle touch in a safe and professional manner. Each module includes written teachings, video demonstrations (where applicable), reflection exercises, quizzes, and a
comprehensive workbook to deepen integration.
Registration is now open. Course content will become available on April 1st.
To hear about future offerings, sign up for Endwell's seasonal newsletter.
