Empty space, drag to resize
This is a deep, experiential mentorship that changes how you practice and how you live.

What if death is not the end,
but the completion of life?

What if learning how to die dissolves fear, anxiety, and suffering long before the final breath?

Daoist Death Medicine teaches that when we live close to death, we awaken more fully to life. This mentorship is an invitation to step into that wisdom and bring it into your clinical practice and personal journey.

This is medicine at its deepest level.

Through this mentorship, you will:

  • Develop confidence accompanying patients through the dying process
  • Learn alchemical acupuncture techniques for end-of-life care
  • Understand the Taoist view of the soul, spirits, and post-death transition
  • Address fear, grief, regret, and unfinished business with skill and compassion
  • Learn how to die well so you can live fully until your final breath
  • Develop confidence accompanying patients through the dying process

This work transforms how you practice and who you are as a practitioner.

Meet Your Mentor

Author, educator, and internationally respected leader in integrative Chinese medicine, Dr. Randine Lewis has spent decades bridging Taoist medicine, clinical practice, and spiritual cultivation.

Her work has guided thousands of practitioners and patients through fertility, healing, and now, the sacred transition of death.

This mentorship represents the culmination of her life’s work.

Testimonials Alumni Cohort 1

While my respect for Randine grew—especially in the beautiful, kind, and expansive ways she responded to us in the forum and during office hours—I also deeply needed the reflective aspect of the course. I do hope acupuncturists and other healers take the time now to participate in this mentorship so they can be better prepared for death—for themselves, their loved ones, and their patients.It expands consciousness and love.
Susan Gillette
This mentorship has impacted my clinical practice through the ease with which I can now ask these same in-depth questions of my patients. I can fully and completely support them, having asked myself these same questions.The experience of being able to share with others has had a huge impact on me. I feel, with confidence, that I am not alone in my journey.
Dona McGlennen
I recommend any of Randine’s courses to other practitioners. What I have learned from Randine over many years—whether through her fertility courses or Daoist death medicine courses—is how to be your authentic self. This mentorship really promotes practitioners being their authentic selves, as well as supporting patients and their loved ones in doing the same. After all, when we pass, we are all we have—our True Self.

Do I need to create a new account?

Yes. Daoist Death Medicine is hosted on our new learning platform, so you’ll need to create a new account for this program, even if you already have a Healthy Seminars account elsewhere. This transition currently applies to DDM only.

Are there any requirements for joining this mentorship?

Participants must have access to a reliable computer and internet, along with an active email address.

Is there a payment plan?

Four monthly payments of $375 (total $1,500)

I'm really interested, but don't know if I will be able to join this offering of the Mentorship, so I'm wondering if you think you will possibly offer the mentorship in this form again after this year?

There is no guarantee that we will, especially in a world that is subject to so much upheaval, but our hope would be that we will offer the mentorship again after this year. We suggest you don’t delay as we cannot tell you what a year from now will allow for planning.

Is the Daoist Death Medicine course only suitable for Chinese Medicine practitioners?

While we do weave acupuncture points into most modules, the mentorship is not designed exclusively for acupuncturists. Although many participants are trained in Chinese medicine, we have also had end-of-life doulas, nurses, caregivers and interested laypeople join us and find the material deeply applicable to their lives.

The acupoint content comprises less than 10% of the program and is presented in an accessible, practical way. The emphasis is not on needling technique, but on understanding the energetic principles behind the points and how they can support emotional, spiritual, and transitional processes at the end of life. In fact, needles are often not the most appropriate tool in bedside settings, as the skin can become fragile and comfort is paramount.

For this reason, we focus primarily on gentle, non-invasive methods such as acupressure, essential oil application, moxibustion, and simple touch techniques that can be safely and meaningfully offered. These approaches integrate beautifully with therapeutic and psychosocial care. In our first module, for example, we introduced only one acupoint to illustrate its deeper symbolic meaning. Later in the program—particularly in the module devoted to bedside support during active dying—we offer more practical tools for relieving pain and easing anxiety.

At its core, the mentorship is about shifting paradigms, cultivating presence, refining inner clarity, and learning how to accompany others through the dying process with steadiness and compassion within a Daoist framework. The Chinese medical lens deepens the experience, but prior training is not required in order to benefit from it.

Mentorship Overview and Curriculum:

Daoist Death Medicine Mentorship and Certificate Program will allow Chinese medicine practitioners to step into this field with confidence, offering the tools of acupuncture, herbs, stone medicine, and essential oils, as well as being present with the souls of those who are passing in a sacred and compassionate way.

Much more than a death doula program, the Daoist Death Medicine Certificate Program will equip you to work with ease caring for the dying. Utilizing alchemical acupuncture techniques, you will be able to help patients enter death, alleviating discomfort and anxiety, while facilitating a sacred transition.

Death is not a failure, but a completion. In order to offer its gifts to our patients, we must learn to die to all that is not true in us. Then learning to accompany patients as they go through their own transitions helps them to release all that is not true in their lives as well. Enhancing the soul’s transitions can be the most rewarding practice in medicine.

Included with your tuition:

  • PDFs taken from: Taoist Death Medicine – Navigating the Death Canal with Alchemical Acupuncture.
  • Nine two-hour online modules, with homework, where together we will learn the preparatory work of dying by releasing the false self in order to live and die well.
  • Nine office hours, one per month, where we will check in with our own process.
  • A certificate of completion will help validate the ability to work in hospice, palliative care settings, and accompany home deaths.

All sessions on Wednesday — lectures at 12:30–2:30 pm PT, office hours at 9:00–10:30 am PT.
