Claim your seat

A once-in-a-lifetime experience about death to celebrate life.

24th of April | 18.30-22.00h | €95,- | Diemerbos

When was the last time you talked about death?

You probably haven't had this conversation yet, because there was never a good moment. It felt too heavy, too awkward or too soon to bring it up with someone you love.

So you wait. And even though you feel the importance, you keep hoping for the right moment to come. So far, it hasn’t.

What if that moment doesn’t just appear, but you step into it?

Somewhere in the Diemerbos, hidden between trees, there is a small beer brewery.

For one night, a group of curious strangers will gather at House of Bird to talk about the one topic we all avoid: death. It's an evening that gently pinches you to remind you how alive you are right now.

You might arrive feeling a little awkward. You're not entirely sure what you signed up for. But honestly? That's part of the magic.

Because slowly, throughout the evening, something inside you shifts. You paint. You share a table with strangers. You walk through the forest. You hear someone tell a story you didn't expect. And you laugh at something slightly absurd.

And somewhere along the way, the evening quietly asks you one question:

You are alive right now.
What are you going to do with it?

  • "Eva organizes a very special evening about death. It's not heavy or dramatic, but special and enriching."

    Anouchka Scholten

  • "A very special evening! I had wonderful conversations, some were emotional but we also laughed a lot!"

    Lot Schneider

  • "Grateful to be alive. A beautiful and inspiring night."

  • "I now know I want to have this conversation with my loved ones. I am curious to know what their perspectives are and I want them to know my last wishes."

  • "This death even was a unique experience that I recommend to everyone. The evening was well-structured, and there was a good balance between a serious and lighthearted atmosphere."

  • "It's not as scary as I thought to talk about death. Realizing that was the most beautiful gift."

  • "I'm taking home: a calmer feeling about death. Leaving behind: fear."

  • "Surprisingly light. Not heavy at all. Warm, connecting and genuinely beautiful."

  • "Being open to this conversation brings you closer to others. And to yourself."

  • It was incredibly special! Beforehand, I was a bit anxious and afraid that it would be very heavy and emotional (and at times it was indeed confronting), but above all, it was incredibly connecting!

What’s waiting for you (and what isn’t)

Music walk through the forest

Together, we walk through the forest and during those steps we will get to know each other better.

Three-course vegetarian dinner

A shared table with conversations that go beyond small talk. We share stories while we are enjoying a three-course vegetarian meal.

Also included are bread and dips and four drinks brewed by Bird Brewery (such as a welcome drink and a special edition Your Last Party beer).

A creative ritual to give colour to death

A painting ritual that clears your head, keeps your hands busy and keeps the conversation going. No artistic talent required.

A goodie bag with a surprise

After the night ends you will take something home to spread the seed that we planted during this night. We gift you a goodie bag with a card deck, last wishes journal and a secret assignment to transform death into a living topic of conversation together.

This is evening is not about funeral planning. It’s not a grief group or therapy session. It's an evening that feels like a great dinner with strangers who quickly stop being strangers. Expect something between a ritual, a dinner party, and a slightly strange social experiment.

You'll leave different
from how you arrived.

Don’t take my word for it. This is how the majority of participants felt after joining my last death event during The Spirit of Amsterdam based on thirty responses:

70% mentioned feeling less fear about the topic.
80% wrote down they feel inspired to start the conversation with their friends or family.

Almost everyone said they were surprised how connected they felt with strangers during the night.

    • Fear of death

    • The idea that this conversation is too heavy

    • Postponing what actually matters

    • The idea that you have to figure it out alone

    • Waiting for the right moment

    • Calm and a new perspective on life

    • The courage to start the conversation

    • Real connection with a stranger (or loved one)

    • Concrete questions to continue at home

    • A reminder of how alive you actually are

The gift nobody expects, but everyone needs.

Give a seat to your mum, your best friend, your dad or that person you’d really like to talk to. This is quality time without the fluff. The conversation you've both needed to have, but never found the occasion for. Gift them a seat at the table.
