Tree of Life Conference – It’s Here!

When we ask our students and graduates what they value most about being a part of International Doula Life Movement, one of the answers we get most often is, “the community.” We love to hear it!

Our primary mission at IDLM is to provide end of life doulas and anyone else who might be curious with the best possible education for how to provide service to end of life patients and their families. But this is not a one-and-done kind of deal! Continuing developments in the medical and death care industries mean the topic is always changing and evolving, and there will always be more to learn. Even if there was a way to provide accurate information that was guaranteed to never change, every patient will be different, and every death will be different. It would be impossible to imagine every single potetial scenario ahead of time.

What we are able to do is offer continuing support to all our graduates, allowing them to revisit classes they have aleady completed in order to learn new information that has been added over time, or just to review the information. And through our online community, The Movement, we are all available to one another to share tips and tricks, local resources, and moral support.

We also host continuing education workshops (just check the events page!) which give us the opportunity to hear from other experts in death care, or adjacent fields such as advance planning, dementia care, or grief work, helping build knowledge and connections, and again, sharing these resources with the entire community. For several years now, IDLM has hosted an annual Anniversary Bash and an annual Summer Summit, to really highlight some of our favorite experts and to give the whole community a chance to connect with them, and with each other. In just a couple of weeks, we will be hosting our biggest event yet—the IDLM Tree of Life Conference!

The Tree of Life conference will be a full weekend event with over two dozen speakers, with expertise in a wide variety of topics ranging from specialized care strategies, to event planning for memorials and other events, to how to effectively manage and market your doula business. No matter what your focus is or where you think you could use a little more info, there will be something for everyone. We are packing a lot of knowledge into one weekend, and we are hosting the entire thing virtually, so you can soak it all up from the comfort of your very own computer at home.

Because of the virtual nature of the event, you can still register for the Tree of Life Conference up until October 31, so please come join the community for this special weekend!
