Here to Honor

12/31/2025

As we close out 2025 and welcome 2026, we pause to reflect on what a full year it’s been. We are thankful for our partners, organization clients, sponsors, and every single person who showed up to engage in end-of-life education. It takes a village to care for one another well, even unto death, and we all have a role to play.

We are particularly thankful for our first “Life & Death in New York City” summit, held in partnership with and , and looking forward to more to come. ✨

Here’s a recap of the day, beautifully captured by .

So much gratitude to everyone who helped make “Life & Death in New York City” such a special time together ❤️

There are not enough words for all the joy, gratitude and love from the inaugural gathering “Life & Death in New York City” on Saturday. So much more to share but for now, sharing a glimpse of our communal lunch, thoughtfully catered by Pixie Scout.

We were nourished in body and spirit. We were invited to engage with our bodies, hearts, and minds as we contemplated and conversed about death. From practical workshops to sensory experiences, we were reminded of our finitude as humans and our deep and necessary need for one another.

It took a village to pull this event together, and we are grateful for amazing event partners, All’s Well Initiative and Goldenwood. Thank you Calvary-St. George's Church for hosting us in your historic and sacred facilities. Many thanks to our event volunteers who helped with setup, cleanup, and hospitality!

Thank you to each and every speaker and workshop presenter - we are lucky to have you in our community. And so much gratitude for all our sponsors and supporters who made this event financially possible.

And thank you to each and every person who showed up with bravery, curiosity, and tenderness. Death sucks but we are not alone. ❤️

Let’s keep taking care of each other. ✨

“Look at how a person is living their life, and you will understand how they will live as their death approaches,” observes award-winning nurse and hospice pioneer Barbara Karnes. How might we learn to live now and die well? Read more in our September newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/heretohonor/hth-minding-our-mortality-september-2025
