Death events that
don’t kill the vibe.
Talk about death without feeling anxious or awkward.
I organize creative events that help you start the conversation. Talking about death is not just about the end, but is actually the beginning of surprising conversations, encounters, or new adventures.

Let’s talk about
our funeral
our last party.
We plan so much in life, but often forget one of the few certainties in our lives: our death and how we say goodbye.
Do you ever think about your final party and your wishes? And do the people who have to arrange it, often your family and friends, actually know that too?
Why?
By contemplating your inevitable ending, you also reflect more on life. What is important to you, and do you live accordingly?
By talking to one another about death and our final wishes, we get to know each other better during life. Furthermore, we normalize the conversation about loss, grief, and mourning, which we will all eventually have to deal with.
For all people who feel like:
What’s the point? I will be dead anyway.
Yes, you will be dead and you will leave your friends and family behind. Have you ever realized how they would feel when you’re gone?
Saying goodbye in a way that reflects your life could help your loved ones to deal better with their loss and grief. And yes, it will help them making decisions when they know what mattered to you (and what not).
