Upcoming MNDC Events |
Currently, our monthly meetings are held virtually by ZOOM until further notice.
Once we get back to meeting in person, we will be gathering at Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm CST. The address is 511 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis. There is plenty of free parking. Every month will feature a local speaker or special interest topic or have a Death Doula case study discussion about end of life doula work. Monthly meetings are just one of the benefits to membership. However, if you aren't a 'joiner' or just want to check us out before committing to a long-term (year-long) relationship, monthly meetings are $10 to attend. This change is effective as of our January 2020 gathering. Learn more information about membership here. |

March 10, 2021 - Getting to Know You! Compassionate Communities - Mary Ann Boe
Promoting community-wide engagement to create a culture of belonging and care
Learn about Minnesota’s national model of the global compassionate community movement. Explore end of life doulas as ‘Journey Guides’ addressing fears, hopes, and goals with those who have been recently diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Experience belonging and peer support in a Compassionate Community Caring Circle.
Bio - Mary Ann’s commitment to creating compassionate communities is a gift from her son, Déva, who lived bravely with medical fragility for 14 years. After his death, she realized the importance of community and became a community weaver. Her professional experiences include the founding of The Cedar, a premier cultural center for world music and dance; and Deva Nation which created NicBluCares, the national Compassionate Community Model serving Nicollet and Blue Earth Counties in Southern Minnesota. This pilot initiative is a collaboration between primary care, public health, multi-sectors, and community residents. We are promoting an inclusive culture where all people feel that they belong and take seriously our responsibility to care for one another, especially in times of crisis and loss.
