Welcome to the Reimagine Blog
Join the Reimagine community to explore grief, loss, death, and all the hard things in life. Together, we'll learn how to channel these experiences into creativity, growth, and purpose.
What is the Reimagine Summit?
Reimagine
A free day of gathering, online, on October 15. More than thirty sessions across seven tracks, and no cost to attend. Here is what happens across the five hours, who the day is for, and answers to the questions people ask before registering.
Grief has come to the office
Reimagine
Our executive director Brad Wolfe has an op-ed in Fortune on the unspoken grief AI is creating at work: lost mastery, eroded trust, vanishing career paths. Why a grief organization is writing about AI, and what he asks leaders to do about it.
How October 15 actually unfolds
Reimagine
A walk through the Main Stage on October 15, session by session: Meggan Roxanne, Keltie Knight, Kelly and Miguel Cervantes, a live song debut, ten minutes of comedy, a poem stitched from many hands, and a closing headliner announced next week.
What We Talked About When We Opened the Doors
Reimagine
In June we invited a small group of supporters inside Reimagine for an hour. A chaplain on learning not to fix, a psychologist on why loneliness hurts the body, a board member on why he joined, and the honest version of where this is going. Full recording included.
You can just come and sit down
Reimagine
Room for Grief is the Summit track with no curriculum and no exercise: four drop-in rooms open all day on October 15, each held by someone who has spent years sitting with people in grief. You do not have to talk, and ten minutes is a legitimate visit.
She built a platform for other people's words. Then she needed her own.
Reimagine
Meggan Roxanne built The Good Quote out of other people’s words. Then her mother was diagnosed with stage four cancer and she wrote her own. She opens the Reimagine Summit on October 15 with a fireside chat about the long afterward.
"I didn't want to heal. I wanted to grieve my daughter."
Reimagine
Kelly Cervantes was afraid healing meant forgetting her daughter. She and Miguel Cervantes join Colin Campbell on the Summit Main Stage for Love Lives On, a conversation about what stays after a child dies, and about moving forward while remembering.
When grief lives in the body
Reimagine
Grief is not only a state of mind. It shows up in the jaw, the sleep, the appetite, often before there are words for it. A look at the four hands-on Embodied Practices sessions at the Reimagine Summit on October 15. No experience needed, cameras optional.
Battery Powered Is Backing Reimagine's Work on Loneliness
Reimagine
Battery Powered has awarded Reimagine $128,600 under its Combating Loneliness theme. Why we applied, what the funding makes possible over the next two years, and a thank you to everyone who has ever shown up for this work.
The losses nobody sends a card about
Reimagine
Keltie Knight, the Emmy-winning E! host and LadyGang co-host, on grieving a loss she chose. She joins Marisa Renee Lee and Lisa Keefauver on Every Body at the Reimagine Summit, a Main Stage conversation about the body, illness and identity.
Saying Yes: To Singing, to Aging, to Life
Reimagine
What Reimagine board member Sue Moldaw discovered when she began singing at seventy-two.
Not every loss begins with a death
Reimagine
The Conversations track is eight sessions on the losses that never had a funeral. Bereavement, relationship loss, caregiving, aging, political grief, identity and regret. You do not have to talk, and you do not have to decide whether yours counts.
The Body Is Always in the Present Moment
Reimagine
Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor came to Reimagine to celebrate the paperback release of The Grieving Body. What followed was an hour on what loss does to the heart, the lungs and the immune system — and what it asks of us in return. What does your body know?
