Currently it is not possible to describe yourself 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 competency tasks and assessments.\n\nWe decided to deliver this body of work\, unive rsal knowledge and practical information for people\, so they could add to or enhance their existing knowledge and experience. Their inherent capaci ty to do death well.  Rather than create a much longer more complex and e xpensive course\, we trust each person will take this Training and allow i t to evolve and grow them in the most beneficial way for each person and t heir communities.\n\nSee Training section for more detailed content info.\ n\n \; CATEGORIES:Natural Death Care Centre Event,Deathwalker Training LOCATION:The Michael Centre\, 37A Wellington Park Drive\, Warranwood\, Vic\ , Australia GEO:-37.776974;145.24416700000006 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=37A Wellington Park Drive\, Warranwood\, Vic\, Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Michael Centr e:geo:-37.776974,145.24416700000006 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Australia/Melbourne X-LIC-LOCATION:Australia/Melbourne BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20241006T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+1000 TZOFFSETTO:+1100 TZNAME:AEDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
