Living with Death was created by the End-of-Life Doulas of Idaho to help the community have education, conversation and support about living and dying. It's always an evening of open discussion and practical insights. The topic changes each month. Come join us for an open, honest conversation.

Join us this June for MLD’s Networking BBQ, a special summer gathering designed to bring our professional community together in a fun, relaxed outdoor setting at Discovery Park (2121 E. Lake Hazel Road), at the Red Shelter.

Instead of our usual breakfast meetup, we’re inviting you to bring your friends, family, and colleagues to enjoy great food, sunshine, and community. This casual event is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow professionals while introducing your loved ones to the people and programs that make our community strong.

Whether you’re looking to build new relationships, strengthen existing ones, or simply enjoy a summer evening outdoors, this BBQ is the perfect way to mix networking with a little fun in the sun.

Featuring Dr. Mario Zimmermann, Assistant Clinical Professor (BSU)

This ongoing class is designed for entry-level and experienced students alike, looking for more practice time on the pottery wheel.
