Train to be a Compassionate Community Presence
Our work is founded upon the Compassionate Community Model of Care. We offer a variety of online courses to prepare interested individuals with the practical skills and strategies to confidently and competently show up for others who are facing serious and terminal illness.

Self-Paced or Facilitated 8-Module Course
Self-paced and facilitated options
Our Professional Presence End of Life Doula Training goes further into the skills and strategies to offer end of life doula support in a professional role. We offer this training both as a self-paced, or as an 8-week facilitated training with our Peaceful Presence faculty. The facilitated version of our professional training is intentionally limited to 15 participants each cohort to create an opportunity for connection, community building and peer support.
The Self-Paced, 8-Module Training ($599) is available on-demand year-round. Click here to register.
The 8-Week Facilitated Training with The Peaceful Presence Project Staff ($799) is offered seasonally. Additional details about our next facilitated training programs can be found below.
Partial scholarships for both the Self-Paced and 8-Week Facilitated training programs are available. Please email info@thepeacefulpresenceproject.org for details.

compassionate presence workshop series
Available on-demand: Our “Compassionate Presence” Workshops ($99) provide an overview of the Self, Other, and Systems perspective of deathcare in the United States. In this self-paced, pre-recorded workshop series, you will learn the background, foundation and basic skillset to come alongside someone and offer knowledgeable guidance in improving the way they face illness.
Please note that this 3 part workshop series is embedded into our 8 part Professional Presence End of Life Doula Training, so if you plan to take our 8 part Professional Presence Training it is not necessary to also take this 3 part workshop series.
