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. |
