You’re Trained. You’re Called. You’re Ready.
You don’t need another certification.
What you are looking for—is a clear path forward—one that honors your pace, your gifts, and your soul’s way of showing up.
Vision to Venture is your guided journey from inner clarity to outer confidence—
so you can start offering your end-of-life work with more ease, alignment, and visibility.
There’s no one right way to serve.
Just the way that feels true to you.
Vision to Venture
Build the Business Only You Can Lead
You’re not starting from scratch—you’re starting from soul.
You’ve done the training.
You’ve walked with loss—your own, or alongside others.
You’ve taken the courses, read the books, maybe even volunteered—but building a practice that others can find and trust? That part still feels uncertain.
You’re not alone.
From Vision to Venture is more than a course.
It’s a guided journey and a supportive community that helps you take what you already know and love—and shape it into a business that’s visible, viable, and deeply needed.
This isn’t about being polished. It’s about being ready to begin.
(And you are.)
🌿 What Is Vision to Venture?
Vision to Venture is more than just a business course.
It’s a guided journey designed specifically for end-of-life practitioners—death doulas, grief guides, celebrants, advance care planners, and all those who are called to serve at life’s edges.
This isn’t another certification. It’s a guided path to help you:
✨ Step into your work with confidence.
✨ Shape your practice in a way that feels true to you.
✨ Grow with structure, support, and a like-hearted community.
Whether you’re just beginning or refining what you’ve started, Vision to Venture gives you the tools and encouragement to build a practice that feels like home.

Vision to Venture Is For You If...
-
You’ve trained as a death doula, end-of-life educator, celebrant, grief guide or other EOL service provider… but you’re still unsure how to actually start or grow your business.
-
You’re tired of overthinking every next step—and longing for structure, community, and a nudge of courage.
-
You’ve done the inner work. You’ve answered the call. But turning that calling into something sustainable? That part still feels fuzzy.
-
You’re looking for support that’s flexible, soulful, and grounded—not a rigid business formula.
-
You want to be of service… and earn a living doing work that matters.
-
You don’t need another certification. You just need a path forward—and people walking it with you.
You’re ready to serve—but building the structure to support that vision feels overwhelming.

"I came with all these skills— grief support, ceremony—but no idea how to tie them together into something people could understand and buy. Now I have a clear practice that honors all of who I am while serving my clients beautifully."
- Donna Foster,
Willow EOL Educator®, Ceremony Celebrant, and a member of Humanists Australia

You Already Have Everything You Need
Â
You’re Business-Savvy.
You know how to show up with professionalism, how to support others, how to follow through. Maybe you come from the corporate world, healthcare, education, or finance. Maybe your wisdom comes from care giving, spiritual service, or community-based work. Whichever way, you’re not new to showing up with heart and skill.
You Have Real Skills.
You may be an end-of-life educator, a celebrant, or a coach. Perhaps you bring mediumship, Reiki, grief support, or creative ritual into your work. Some of you offer intuitive or ancestral wisdom. Others are blending decades of leadership, care giving, or spiritual service into something new. Whatever your tools—you’ve already been practicing in meaningful ways.
You Know Your Worth.
You’ve witnessed the impact your presence can have. You’ve supported others through grief, transition, healing, or transformation—and you know what you bring is deeply valuable.
You’re Ready.
You’re not looking for more training or credentials. You’re ready to turn what you already have and know into something more visible, structured, and sustainable.
You Just Need the Roadmap.
You don’t need someone to build your business for you. You need someone to show you how the pieces fit together—so you can do it your way, with confidence and clarity.
This course honors the experience you already hold—and helps you turn it into a practice that serves others, supports you, and reflects your deepest values.
What's Included in Vision to Venture?Â
Â
Live Training Calls + CommunityÂ
Your Vision to Venture journey includes 9 live Zoom calls that guide you through the course themes with support, encouragement, and real-time feedback. Can’t make it? Every call is recorded and uploaded to The Willow Grove, so you can revisit it whenever life allows.
But here’s the truth: you don’t need to show up to everything to belong here.
Some folks attend every call, others watch replays when they can. Some post in the community, others quietly soak it in. However you engage, it’s enough. You’re enough.
This course is here to support your rhythm—not disrupt it.
Come into the flow in a way that works for you. You’re right on time.


Various Ways to Engage with the Material
For each lesson, you have three ways to engage with the material—choose one or more that works best for you:
- Attend a live session.
- Watch a bite-sized recording (10–30 minutes).
- Watch the full recording of the hour-long live session.
To help you move through the lessons, you’ll receive a beautifully-designed workbook filled with exercises so that you can turn your wisdom, training, and lived experience into a business that feels aligned, clear, and truly yours.
This course was created to offer ease and accessibility. Find the timing, rhythm, and learning style that fits your life and is right for you.

“Vision to Venture helped me let go of the pressure to have it all figured out. I learned that it’s okay to build slowly and trust my own rhythm. I’m clearer now about what feels true for me, and that’s a huge gift.”

The Willow Grove Community
This work can feel isolating.
Most people don’t understand what you do—or why it matters so deeply. Conversations stall. Invitations disappear. And it can feel like you're walking this path alone.
But not here.
Inside The Grove, you’ll be met by a circle of end-of-life professionals who truly get it—death doulas, educators, celebrants, grief supporters, and all the beautifully unconventional humans who talk about dying like it’s normal (because it is).
Here, you don’t have to shrink your truth.
Here, you’ll be seen, supported, and reminded that your work belongs.
Come all the way in. Sit all the way down.
Bunny slippers are welcome.


Ongoing Support from Reena & Debra
Running an end-of-life business can stir up all kinds of questions—about pricing, marketing, burnout, boundaries, grief, visibility… and everything in between.
That’s why we host regular Coaching & Marketing Circles inside The Grove. These aren’t formal presentations. We might come with thoughts in our back pockets, but mostly?
We’re here to hold space for whatever’s on your heart.
No question is too small, too weird, or too tender.
Together, Reena and Debra bring decades of experience in both end-of-life care and solo-preneurship. You don’t have to navigate this alone—or in silence.
Come as you are. Bring your sticky questions. Nothing’s off the table.

Reena Lazar & Debra White
Co-creators of Willow’s Vision to Venture program
Together, we bring decades of experience in end-of-life education, grief support, and soul-centered business building.Â
We’ve sat at bedsides. We’ve built our own practices from scratch. We’ve tripped, tried again, and learned what works—not just for business, but for a life of purpose.
This course isn’t about pushing you into a mold.
It’s about helping you see that you already have what it takes—and walking with you as you build something real.

Still Have Questions?Â
I don’t know anything about websites or social media...
What if I don’t have enough experience yet?
Can’t someone else just handle the business side?
What if I’m still figuring out what I offer?
What if I’m not “good at business”?
Will I need to have a website or branding figured out already?
What if I need more time?
What is the "Willow Grove"?
What happens after the 6 months?
"As a former corporate executive, I knew how to run a business but had no clue how to start one from scratch. This course gave me the roadmap I needed to build something aligned with my calling—not just my bank account."
