Join the Farewell Rooted Path
An intimate, application-only path for trained death doulas to deepen skills, receive close mentorship, and bring a community offering to life.
Rooted in Readiness: Preparing to Apply
The Rooted Path is an intimate, advanced circle for those who have already planted the first seeds of deathwork and are ready to let their practice take deeper hold. If you feel the call to serve with steadier presence, refined skill, and the artistry of care, I’m glad you’ve found your way here, the work needs you.
Before you apply, three roots must be set:
Roots in knowledge.
You have completed a Death Doula training (through Farewell Education or another respected program) and carry the grounding needed for advanced study.
Roots in service.
If you are local to Middle Tennessee, you’ve begun volunteer training or an active volunteer with Alive Hospice or another end-of-life care provider, preparing you to walk beside patients when shadowing opportunities arise.
Roots in relationship.
If we have not yet met, you’ve scheduled a Meet Jade session so we can sit together, even across a screen, and see if this path is the right next chapter for you.
Once these roots are in place, you may offer your application. Spaces are few, chosen with care — for you, for me, and for the communities we serve. If the fit is not here, I will gladly help you find where it may flourish.
