Upcoming Events |
Monthly meetings are held at Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm. The address is 511 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis. There is plenty of free parking. Every other month will feature a local speaker or special interest topic. Join us for 'Ask a Doula' in the other months for an informal 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. |
2020 Upcoming Events
June 10, 2020 -- With Your Own Hands: A Ritual Blessing for the Dead - Ellen Huffschmidt
A grief ritual to hold us in this time. In preparation, please create a simple altar as a remembrance for a loved one who died in the past or recently, or someone who you wish to be in contact with and can’t because of COVID19 restrictions. The grief could also be for the death of pets, the state of nature, or anything else you are experiencing.
Please include a candle, bowl, pitcher or glass of water, and lavender or rosemary. If for any reason you are curious about this event but not sure if want to take part, you are always welcome to observe or use your imagination. These are both good ways to be present. I will be explaining and demonstrating everything we will be doing. Our time will include a breakout session with time to share and ask questions.
Ellen Hufschmidt, MA is a Chaplain, Grief Counselor, Death Educator, and Ritualist, has over twenty years of experience. She refined her holistic approach to grief and loss counseling during eleven years as a Hospice Bereavement Specialist and Chaplain at hospital systems in Minnesota. She shares her understanding of end-of-life issues, including family-led funerals, home vigils, and green burials, through consultations with family members, conference presentations, workshops in university and community settings, and training programs for chaplains, and end-of-life doulas. She also has a private practice in the Seward Neighborhood of South Minneapolis.
