What we’re about
This is a local networking group for Death Doulas/End of Life Doulas and those interested in pursuing or learning about the work in and around the Austin, TX area. We aim to create a supportive community of death positive people who can learn from and grow alongside one another. We look forward to gathering for informal in-person conversations with like-minded people, sharing resources and information, and raising public awareness of Death Doula/End of Life Doula work in Texas.

About this event:
Bring your own tea/coffee/comfort treat of choice to this virtual conversation. It's an important time to have conversations about death as a part of life, and to support one another as we do. We will see where the conversational winds take us. Bring any questions or ideas you would like to share!
Looking for resources? Start here with our ever-growing spreadsheet for suggestions of educational programs, books, films, podcasts, websites, and more! Suggest additions as you have things to share.
Note: This event is intended as a space for those who work/volunteer with the dying and their loved ones. Those who are curious about this work are welcome to attend, but if you would like to have bigger conversations about life, death, and dying, I recommend seeking a Death Cafe: https://deathcafe.com/9 attendees
POSTPONED: Field Trip! APL Film Festival Documentary Shorts: Walk With Death
Spicewood Springs Library, 8637 Spicewood Springs Rd, Austin, TX, USWEATHER NOTICE! This event has been officially postponed by Austin Public Library. Mark your calendars for March 21 and please check the APL website to confirm in a few weeks, just in case.
How about a field trip? If you want a chance to see a few cool films and meet other doulas in person, then meet us at the Austin Public Library Spicewood Springs Branch this weekend!
APL Film Fest will be featuring a short documentary by local filmmaker called Walk With Death. The film is about a death doula in Austin's Indigenous community. It's free and open to all!
More details on the APL website here!
There's a whole day of free film screenings, but the short documentary segment will go from 4:30-5:45 pm. And did I mention it's FREE?
Want to connect? Come find me, Organizer Annie! I'm easy to spot because I'm over 6ft tall, I have a buzz cut, and I will be wearing my "Talking about death won't kill you" tee shirt for the vibe.
And did you know we are moving off of Meetup next month? If you want to stay involved with us, please sign up for email updates in the future: https://forms.gle/dhUqAotU4RtRZt5K85 attendees
