What the heck is a death doula? You'll have to attend this next event to find out!! (Or you could Google it, but wouldn't that ruin the fun?) For this next event, I've invited a few death doulas to meet the ODC and tell us about what they do, who they serve, and what makes a death doula unique in the world of deathcare. Once I can confirm which doulas are showing up, I will post a few days before the event. So, please RSVP, bring your questions, and let's have another good session!

Why California Needs a Conservation Cemetery

Online

🌿 Our Bodies Are Designed to Return to the Earth 🌿 Join our Zoom to learn what a Conservation Cemetery is… permanently protected natural land where burials restore habitat. We'll take a deep dive into how a conservation cemetery differs from modern burial practices, and how it compares to green burial. Here in California, we’re a community that thrives outdoors!
