Be THE ONE (likely the ONLY one) in the Room
Who Can Truly Understand And Support Someone
Who Is Dying...
Why? because you have Stepped Into the Mystery of Dying—
To Better Serve Them Until Their Last Breath...
Do You Know What it is Like to Die, Really?
Most of us who find ourselves at the deathbed...doulas, caregivers, loved ones, or healthcare professionals — come close enough to witness it. We see the all the changes, the body weaken and slow down, the skim mottling.
But here’s the truth: until you’ve experienced your own death in a deep, embodied way, you can only stand at the edge of understanding.
Empathy and compassion take us far, but not all the way. To truly connect, to walk someone home with unwavering presence, requires more. It calls for you to step into the experience yourself — safely, powerfully, and of course, without the finality of death.
That is where real transformation begins.
We can bring our caregiving to new levels and embody this death experience, while we are “walking them home”...if we are brave enough to experience what this workshop offers...
Changing the story of death — from fear and sorrow to meaning and even possibility — isn’t easy. Those of us who find ourselves here, work tirelessly to honor the journey, to celebrate the quiet moments of connection, to offer dignity and presence. But without the right tools and support, it can feel like climbing uphill with no summit in sight.
Amidst these responsibilities, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the need to “get everything right.” Without a strong personal anchor and reminder that you are doing a superhuman thing... it can be overwhelming.
THIS Workshop Is That Anchor...
Embodied Experience
Imagine stepping into your own shoes as if you were the one dying. Being at the bedside isn’t the same as knowing it in your bones.
Innate
Wisdom
Envision guiding others through death with the certainty that comes from a completly embodied
experience.
Profound
Impact
Every interaction becomes meaningful — your presence brings comfort, eases fear, and guides others to peace because you’re anchored.
A Journey Like No Other
Enter the Personal Death Awareness and Inventory Workshop!
To truly understand another’s dying requires more than empathy.
It calls for a journey into insight, compassion, and lived experience.
That’s why I created The Personal Death Awareness & Inventory Workshop —
a journey like no other.
Through 8 powerful lessons, experiential exercises, and guided reflections,
you’ll step into the shoes of those facing the end of life.
This isn’t abstract.
It’s visceral.
It’s personal.
And it changes everything about how you show up.
Regardless of your role, this workshop is your invitation to transform.
To discover the fears and beliefs you didn’t know were there.
To reclaim the depth of your presence.
To bring a new dimension of clarity and compassion to those you serve.
Join me. Step into this experience. Not only for the ones you walk beside — but for yourself.
SOME HEARTFELT PRAISE FOR THE EXPERIENCE
For those like Mary, who felt finally understood for what she had gone through.
Or for someone like Paul, a 15-year hospice volunteer, this workshop took him far deeper.
The “Why” Behind the Workshop
The “Why” Behind the Workshop
Hi, I’m Patty Burgess...
This workshop is a labor of love, born from an experience that changed my life over 25 years ago. It began with my dear friend Rona’s journey from diagnosis to death. Walking beside her, often struggling to support her, I witnessed how deeply the end of life shapes both the dying and their loved ones. Through that experience — and through THIS VERY exercise in this workshop, the impact of which has never left me...everything shifted.
I went on to serve as a hospice volunteer, trainer, and community educator, discovering the power of helping people find peace, meaning, and connection during life’s most profound passage. Now, all these years later, I am a national doula trainer and end-of-life educator, having trained over 25,000 family caregivers, death doulas, hospice voulunteers and healthcre professionals. This exercise is the gift that keeps on giving and I continue to do it every several years as a stunning reminder of the power of our presence and connection.
Hi, I’m Patty Burgess...
This workshop is a labor of love, born out of an experience that changed the course of my life. It all began with my dear friend, Rona’s journey from diagnosis to death. Walking alongside her every step of the way, and struggling to support her. I witnessed the profound impact that facing the end-of-life can have on an individual and loved ones.
Through this experience, I felt a deep calling to make a difference in the lives of others who are navigating similar paths. It was THIS exercise in this workshop after my shared death experience with Rona that changed everything for me. I became a hospice volunteer, volunteer trainer and community educator with hospice. I discovered the power of helping people find peace, meaning, and connection during one of life's most profound passages.
The Personal Death Awareness and Inventory Workshop is RADICALLY important.
It is designed to provide ANYONE drawn to sit bedside with a dying loved one, client or patient, a unique opportunity to step into the shoes of those facing the end of life.
I invite you to join me on this transformative journey of self-discovery and the deep spaces where empathy, experience and transformation intersect.
I hope you embrace this opportunity to not only experience this - but to make a difference – for yourself and anyone you serve.
