Jo-Anne Haun & Karen Hendrickson

Gather around the Death & Dying Network International table to create connections, build relationships, learn, and chat - about anything and everything.

As our final Dishing Doulas Event we want to hear 

ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS!

ASK US!  ASK US ANYTHING!

This is a valuable experience for new and emerging doulas to gather with DDNI members and others who have experience within the death-caring industry.    If you are an experienced doula this is a great place to make connections, expand your network, and build on your community of support.  New or experienced, this is an excellent container to learn, share, and grow the deathcaring community together.

This is your opportunity to personally connect with like-minded people, interested in expanding themselves and their understanding of death, dying, and life.

 WITH 

Rhonda Garnier & Sara Rodenhizer

"Working with Judgment: Offering Affirming Care at End of Life" is a

2 hour interactive workshop for caregivers and end-of-life

professionals. 

Facilitated by Rhonda Garnier and Sara Rodenhizer, this

session explores how judgment naturally arises in end-of-life work, how

it affects care, and how to respond with compassion instead of

reactivity. Through reflection and group dialogue, participants will

examine their own biases, learn tools for staying grounded, and practice

shifting from judgment to respectful presence. Together, we will

identify how judgment shows up in our work, from subtle discomfort to

overt withdrawal, and how it affects dying individuals. By normalizing

this ongoing inner work, this workshop emphasizes that while we don’t

need to change our beliefs, we must ensure they never compromise the

dignity of those we serve.

Workshop Outcomes — Participants will:

• Recognize how judgment naturally arises and how it affects end-of-life care.
• Develop greater awareness of their own biases and embodied responses.
• Learn practical strategies to transform judgment into compassionate presence.
• Strengthen their ability to provide affirming, respectful care across diverse identities, beliefs, and cultural contexts.
