What to Expect

LaborOut is a one-day, in-person gathering for death doulas, healthcare professionals, and heart-led practitioners who are reshaping how we talk about death, dying, and end-of-life care. It blends practical education, honest conversation, and deep human connection, all in a space designed to feel safe, expansive, and real.

Expect conversations that go beyond theory and into real-world practice. Sessions are led by experienced educators and practitioners who understand the emotional, medical, and ethical realities of death care.

Meaningful Education

You’ll be surrounded by people who get it. Whether you’re new to death care or deeply experienced, LaborOut is a place to connect, share stories, and build relationships that extend far beyond the event itself.

Community & Connection

This isn’t just about learning, it’s about integration. Expect moments that challenge how you see your role, reaffirm why you’re called to this work, and help you envision what’s next for you in death care, advocacy, or education.

Inspiration & Integration

Hands-on workshops focused on real-world skills you can use immediately. Learn how to navigate end-of-life conversations, support families with confidence, and strengthen your presence as a caregiver and practitioner.

Workshops & Skill-Building

“To help someone transition is not to lead them away from life, but to walk beside them with steadiness, love, and deep respect for what is unfolding.”
