Death & Dying Network International

Welcome

We are Death Educators, and End of Life Planning Specialists. We have a focused intention on building relationships, personal connections, and growth for ALL MORTALS.

Our work is for both end of life and deathcaring professionals in all areas of the death industry as well as the general public.

More than just death education, you want heartfelt connection and camaraderie.

As a professional you want a true collective where we help each other to grow our relationships, our knowledge, our businesses and the industry.

Or maybe you simply have a passion and desire to connect, learn and grow with other like-minded people who are simply interested in getting comfortable with, and accepting your mortality.

THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY!

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ...

"I am so grateful to be part of this network. It's rare to find a community where members promote each other and share information so generously. Karen and Jo-Anne are fun, energetic and very attentive to questions. I see DDNI as the backbone to this emerging field of death workers."

- Karla Kerr, End of Life Planning and Care

"I chose DDNBC -- not because it is BC but because the two of you are so faithful to educating the public and networking/supporting practitioners.

To my mind, DDNBC is doing so better (i.e. "Together is Better!") than any other organization (that I am aware of); so I am delighted to be a member and to recommend DDNBC to others.

Besides that, the two of you are an excellent combination; and are delightful to be with. Blessings all-ways! In the Spirit and Soul of W/holism."

Pashta MaryMoon, Executive Director of CINDEA

"The Doula Network that Jo-Anne and Karen have created is fantastic! They are a great team and the network offers all sorts of really interesting events. The network is growing and no matter where you live and work, you’ll find tremendous value in being involved. I’m proud to be a member!"

- Nicola Finch, Cariboo Natural Burial Sanctuary

"Thank you, Karen and Jo-Anne for continuously hosting events that are so full of great content-exceptional is the word that keeps coming to mind. DDNBC is just such a great resource and fantastic community-always such great connections-and I am so grateful to be a part of it. Words are just not enough...thank you...from the bottom of my heart "

- Erin Chambers, Holistic Life/ Health Coach

" The DDNBC provides a beautifully level playing field without barriers. It is a safe place to explore, question, and share. Three months ago, I was really nervous about putting myself out there in service, but the DDNBC has helped me overcome the fear with amazing mentorship workshops, website information, and open chat groups. In this amazing environment, growth is inevitable.

The adage, “Education neutralizes fear” is evident in this organization, Karen and Jo-Anne are the epitome of gentle understanding and comprehensive presentation. Just witnessing their natural banter is a privilege worth the price of admission."

-Fiona Holoboff, Timeworks Doula Care

"While I live in the USA, I have discovered that the information, connections and inspiration that can be found within the DDNBC is priceless regardless of where you live! I am grateful to have come across this amazing network of people and encourage you to join us."

- Chrissi Guerin, Hands of Serenity
