  • Information about the School of American Thanatology

  • Deathwork: How to Choose a Title

  • Deathworkers are Death Educators

  • How to Determine Your One-to-One Client Focus

  • How to Determine Your One-to-Many Community Focus

  • Cole Imperi’s Heathcare–Deathcare Diagram (Used to explain the gap in providers between healthcare and death care)

  • The 3 Companioning Orbs of Influence

  • Finding Your Scope of Work

  • Deathwork is Activism

  • Cole Imperi’s Presence–Avoidance Self-Assessment Tool

  • About Thanatology

  • About Thanabotany™

  • Who Uses Thanabotany

  • About the Thanalab

  • About the Thanabee

  • There is a 2 page index which follows the resource section, and that is followed by 233 dot grid pages.

Whether you are a student at the School of American Thanatology and you are looking for a companion for note taking and easy reference; or someone in deathwork searching for that perfect paper planner, we hope you’ll find a sense of place with this journal.

Cole teaches the importance of making the intangible, tangible; of giving form to the formless. This journal is an opportunity to connect in a tangible way.

The cover features an herbarium specimen of the California Poppy, and the specimen label on the front is scanned from an actual herbarium specimen label belonging to Curtis Gates Lloyd (~1820s).
