Sacred Foundations Description:

Led by Thomas Daniel, PhD, ELP, this online four-session introductory course offers a grounded, compassionate entry point into end-of-life work—before formal training begins. Designed for those who feel called to accompany others at the end-of-life, the course emphasizes clarity, self-awareness, and ethical presence. Participants will explore the end-of-life ecosystem, examine personal beliefs about death, and begin the essential inner work required for this role, all within a facilitated, supportive learning environment. No prior experience is required—only curiosity, honesty, and willingness to reflect. 

The Sacred Foundations course helps students assess emotional readiness, identify personal triggers, and understand what this work will genuinely ask of them—both emotionally, an ethically. Whether you ultimately pursue the full End-of-Life Practitioner training or simply want a deeper relationship with mortality and end-of-life care, this course offers a thoughtful, discerning foundation that honors both the work and the people drawn to it.
