About this Event

Welcome to this engaging, reflective workshop, where you will find meaning and clarity to live your life the way you want to be remembered. This activity is about reconnecting with what really matters to us. Usually, when people get closer to their death, they begin to worry about what they didn’t achieve and what they do with the time that’s left.

The purpose of this obituary exercise is to uncover what’s really important to you––hopefully, long before your end. And, to use it as a guiding principle for your life.

Live the way you want to be remembered. Don’t let others choose the words of your obituary. Let your acts and legacy pen it instead.

We all know what a "proper" obituay looks like, however, in this workshop, you will be encouraged to tap into your creativity and into some of the more unusual moments of your wild and crazy life. Samples of irreverent obituaries will be provided.

The group size is limited to 13 people so that you can engage in storytelling and sharing if you wish. Just bring a pen and notebook, inspration shall be provided.
