Currently it is not possible to describe you rself as a Qualified or Certified Deathwalker.  If it was a certifiable course\, it would need to be much longer than 3 days\, and would require c ompetency tasks and assessments.\n\nWe decided to deliver this body of wor k\, universal knowledge and practical information for people\, so they cou ld add to or enhance their existing knowledge and experience. Their inhere nt capacity to do death well.  Rather than create a much longer more comp lex and expensive course\, we trust each person will take this Training an d allow it to evolve and grow them in the most beneficial way for each per son and their communities.\n\nSee Training section for more detailed conte nt info.\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Natural Death Care Centre Event,Deathwalker Training LOCATION:Cracroft Guide Centre\, 151 Cashmere Road\, Cashmere\, Christchurc h\, 8022\, South Island\, New Zealand GEO:-43.574692;172.617282 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=151 Cashmere Road\, Cashmer e\, Christchurch\, 8022\, South Island\, New Zealand;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X- TITLE=Cracroft Guide Centre:geo:-43.574692,172.617282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Pacific/Auckland X-LIC-LOCATION:Pacific/Auckland BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20250406T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+1300 TZOFFSETTO:+1200 TZNAME:NZST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
