Reimagine is a nonprofit that helps people face death and embrace life. We create community-driven festivals called "Reimagine End of Life" that bring whole cities together. We also provide helpful resources for you to explore dying, death, grieving...and living.
What do you want at the end of your life?
Our friends at The Conversation Project offer free starter kits to support you in considering and sharing your end-of-life wishes.
How can you remember the people you love?
Modern Loss shares incredible resources about grief and loss. Also check out Morning Altars, a healing earth art ritual, taught by our video participant Day Schildkret.
How do entire cities talk about death?
Reimagine hosts citywide festivals exploring life and death which feature the participants of the SoulPancake + Reimagine videos. Join them at Reimagine NYC festival, June 4-14, 2020.
It starts with a conversation...
We are excited to share our Reimagine End of Life Conversation Guide to support you in talking about life and death with friends, family, and even strangers. You'll even find it helpful for your own self reflection. It's available below for free download!
Day Schildkret is an artist who makes earth altars as a way to explore impermanence. In this video, he is making one with Grace, a Reimagine volunteer and participant, who recently lost her mother to cancer. Grace is now facing cancer herself.
Yolanda is an Oakland resident who tragically lost her son, Shaleem, in a police shooting. She opens up about her journey with grief and honoring the memory of her son to local journalist and artist Angelica, who created a performance to share the story of Shaleem’s death.
Veronica is an artist who makes art pieces a way for people to remember loved ones. Today she is making one with Mario, who lost his close friend to suicide.
