Turn Your Calling into a Sustainable Practice.
Learn strategies to help you expand your reach and deepen your impact during this free 3-day event.

This is a decision-making experience
Learn how three days could change the way you practice
We Help You to Skill Up
Let's talk about opportunities.
This is a decision-making experience, not another content summit.
GET YOUR FREE TICKETYou know this work.
You have sat with people in the hardest moments of their lives and you did not flinch. You showed up. You kept showing up.
And still. The practice feels like a half-finished thought.
Not because you aren't ready.
Not because the world doesn't need what you do.
But because nobody taught you the part that comes after the training ends:
- How to talk about what you offer in a way that lands.
- How to find the people who need exactly you.
- How to charge for it without feeling like you're betraying the work.
The figuring it out part doesn't happen in the planning.
It happens in the practice.
Maybe some of these sound familiar:
You have done the training.
More than once, probably.
Maybe more than twice.
You have notebooks full of frameworks and a folder of certifications.
And a list of services you might offer.
Once you feel ready.
You have started the website.
Ordered the business cards.
Paused both.
Reconsidered what you do.
Reconsidered it again.
You have told people what you do and watched their face shift.
You think you know why.
"Nobody wants to talk about death."
And so you went back to learning.
Or tinkering.
Or rebranding.
Or researching one more niche.
Or scrolling one more death worker's website, just to see how they did it.
There is a way to stop preparing in private
and begin practicing in public.
You do not need another reason to wait.
You need a next step you can trust.
This is not another training.
It is not another room full of content you will come back to someday.
It is three days in the company of end-of-life practitioners who stopped waiting and built something real.
Different niches. Different entry points. Different seasons of life.
All doing the work, visibly, sustainably, with their values intact.
Not because they cracked a code.
But because they made a decision.
The Death Worker Summit does not teach you how. It shows you that it is possible, from enough different angles and enough different lives, that something in you finally believes it too.
That belief is where the practice begins.
Get Your Free TicketFor three days, you will hear from end-of-life practitioners who were exactly where you are.
They had the training. They had the calling. They had the quiet, persistent feeling that something was supposed to happen next, and it had not.
What changed was not a new certification.
It was hearing someone else's story clearly enough to see their own.
That is what this summit is built for. Not to teach you something you are missing. To show you, from enough different angles and enough different lives, that the path exists and that someone who looks a lot like you is already on it.

We built this summit because we have seen too many gifted end-of-life practitioners stay quietly on the edge of their own work.
Not because they lacked skill or calling. Because no one had shown them that it was possible to be seen doing this work, be paid for it, and still feel like themselves.
We know this field from the inside: the tenderness of the work, the invisible labour, and the strange ache of wanting it to reach people without turning it into something that no longer feels like you.
That is why we are here.

Reena has spent more than a decade supporting a community of end-of-life educators and creating curriculum, workshop materials, and facilitation resources that help practitioners bring meaningful end-of-life education into their work.
Through the Willow EOL Educator® Program, she supports practitioners who want workshops to supplement their existing practice, or become the heart of the practice itself.
She built the educator pathway because this work deserves a container as thoughtful as the work itself.

Debra is the author of Vision to Venture and brings coaching, structure, and AI-supported implementation to Willow’s community. She brings more than 25 years in the coaching field to her work with end-of-life practitioners.
Her own path inside end-of-life work taught her that the gap between trained and practicing is not usually a skills problem. It is often a visibility problem, a structure problem, and a support problem.
Vision to Venture exists because she needed it to, and nobody had built it yet.
We would love to have you in the room.
Get Your Free TicketThe Scholarship
One registrant. One full seat.
One next step made possible.
As part of The Death Worker Summit, one registered attendee will receive a full seat in the Vision to Venture Guided Cohort, at no cost.
This is not about choosing who is better, more deserving, or further ahead.
It is simply our way of opening one more door.
The application is short and simple. You'll answer a few questions about your number one goal for building your end-of-life practice, how you feel about your readiness or next step forward, and your biggest concern with making it happen.
That's it.
No performance. No perfect answer. Just a few honest reflections so we can get a sense of where you are and what you are reaching toward.
If Vision to Venture has been quietly calling your name, take five minutes and apply.
Reena and Debra will read every application together and choose.
The scholarship opens when you register. Applications close at the end of Day 3. The winner is announced live on Launch Day.
Open to all registered attendees. Application closes September 26, 2026.

Many voices. Many paths. One direction.
The speaker lineup is being curated to show the many ways end-of-life practitioners are building real, sustainable work. You will hear from people with different niches, different entry points, and different seasons of practice. Not because one of them has the perfect roadmap, but because together they offer something more useful: proof.
Proof that this work can take shape.
Proof that visibility can still feel values-led.
Proof that someone who looks a lot like you has already begun.

You do not have to know exactly where this work is taking you.
You only have to recognize the next honest yes.Three days. A room full of people who understand why this work matters, and what it actually takes to build it.
You will not be the only one still figuring it out. That is the point.
Get Your Free TicketStill wondering if this is for you?
If these thoughts are coming up, you are not alone.
If you already have training…
This summit is not more content. It is three days of practitioners who made a decision, showing you what became possible when they did. You will not leave with a new framework or a longer to-do list. You may leave having seen something in someone else's story that changes the question you have been carrying.
If you are not sure you belong here…
If you do this work, or you are moving toward it, and some part of you is still wondering whether the practice can be real, this conversation is for you. You do not need a particular title or a certain number of clients. There is room for you here.
If charging for this work feels complicated…
Most practitioners in this field carry that. It is not a personal failing. It is a story that runs deep in a field built on care, where naming a price can feel complicated. This summit will not argue with that story. It will introduce you to people who have learned to hold both.
If “not ready yet” keeps showing up…
That thought has probably shown up before. It may show up again after this. Readiness is not always what comes first. Sometimes what comes first is the decision to stop waiting for certainty.
If you cannot attend every session live…
Come for what you can. The live experience matters, and so does your real life. The optional All-Access Pass includes lifetime recordings so nothing is lost.
A few practical questions.
Yes. Your free ticket gives you access to the full live summit experience, September 24 through 26.
Session recordings are available free to all registrants for 7 days after the summit closes. Lifetime access to recordings is included with the optional All-Access Pass at $47.
The All-Access Pass is $47 and includes lifetime access to all session recordings, easy access to speaker resources and freebies, one month inside The Grove (Willow's practitioner community, valued at $99), and 10% off any Vision to Venture path during the cart-open window.
You will receive a confirmation with everything you need to join the sessions. Between now and September 24, we will be in touch with speaker announcements, schedule details, and a few things to help you get the most out of the three days.
Vision to Venture is a 10-module business-building program for end-of-life practitioners who have the training and the calling but not yet the structure around it. It is authored by Debra White and offered through Willow. You will hear more about it during the summit.
