About our Meet-ups
You are part of a larger caring group from around the globe who share a unique vision of ensuring that all individuals have accessible, equitable, and compassionate deathcare. Come meet one another. Our Community Meetups offer a live and interactive gathering to meet, share, and reflect.
Who can join?
This group is offered to all INELDA members. Our end-of-life doula training is not a prerequisite to joining this meet-up. All INELDA members are encouraged to join. Once you register for the meetups you will receive reminders throughout the year. Not a member? Join us!
What to expect…
This group offers a monthly learning structure led by an INELDA educator and an educator assistant. After connecting with each other, we will briefly review the INELDA Doula Approach, and then the educator will offer a case study for the group to consider and discuss. After processing the example together, doulas will be able to share a few personal scenarios for the group to move through the INELDA Doula Approach collectively.
The Details
Meetups are held the third Thursday of each month 3-4:00pm ET.
