Mission
Our mission is to spark a community-wide exploration of death and celebration of life through creativity and conversation.
What is Reimagine?
Purpose
Reimagine is a nonprofit organization that inspires individuals, families, and communities to transform our experience around serious illness, dying, death, grieving... and living.
Vision
Reimagine envisions a world in which we are all able to reflect on why we’re here, prepare for a time when we won’t be, and live fully through the end.
What we do
Reimagine hosts community-driven festivals and experiences that bring creativity, connection, and essential conversation to communities around the world. Reimagine experiences encompass:
- Arts + Entertainment
- Healthcare + Social Services
- Spirituality + Religion
- Innovation + Design
Past festivals
Reimagine was initially prototyped in 2016, inspired by OpenIDEO’s End of Life Challenge as part of an effort to investigate the intersection of art, community, and end of life.

Together, we explore these four themes
Wonder
Consider the big questions about life and death, illness and loss, love and connection, through spirituality, science, and the arts.
Preparation
Plan for and manage serious illness, dying, and death, for ourselves and the people we care about.
Remembrance
Create space for all types of grief and honor those we love, through memories, words, and actions.
Living Fully
In the face of our impermanence, embrace life, our families, our communities, and our planet, through well-being, purpose, and positive impact.
