Medicalized Death: Shifting the Cultural Paradigm (Webinar)

With Jacki Mann, End-of-Life Doula

The paradigm of medicalized death in our culture today is pervasive. As end-of-life doulas, we are the leaders needed to help shift this paradigm back to one of death as natural and sacred. In this webinar, we will brainstorm ways we can move forward purposefully and strategically to effect the change this culture desperately needs. Discussions includes strategies for how EOLDs can be instrumental in returning death to its natural, sacred place in the circle of life.

Jacki Mann was a hospice and palliative care nurse for many years and witnessed the catastrophic effects of medicalized dying in her work. With a desire to be a catalyst for change, she became an end-of-life doula and educator, as well as a Home Funeral Guide, Green Burial consultant, and Living & Dying Coach. She is author of the book, Attending to the End: A Good Death Guidebook. Learn more about the work Jacki is doing at Circle of Life.
