How do you tell the story of your life?
The Obituary invites you to begin at the end and write your own obituary while your life is still unfolding. What you remember, what you include and what you leave out may surprise you.
The impossible edit.
An obituary asks you to make choices. What belongs? What disappears? Which people, places, relationships, accomplishments, lessons, joys and strange turns become part of the story when you can't possibly tell all of it?
Through guided meditation and reflective writing, The Obituary gives you the space to consider the life you’ve lived and make those choices on the page.
By the end, you’ll have written a working draft of your own obituary.
“Writing my own obituary was unexpectedly life-giving. It ended up being less about death, and more about revealing how I want to live.”
— RENEE P., VISUAL ARTIST

“I return to my own obituary every year. Not simply to update it, but to recalibrate. It’s my life compass.”
— MICHELLE A M MILLER
“I was initially hesitant to participate in The Obituary because, as a combat veteran, I've had close calls with death, and it's something I've always feared and preferred not to dwell on. However, the experience turned out to be surprisingly positive. With Michelle's compassionate guidance, the topic of death was not as unsettling as I had expected. Instead, it helped me reflect on the meaningful, positive aspects of my life and reframe my perspective on mortality.”
— BLAKE D., COMBAT VETERAN
“Participating in The Obituary was nothing short of revelatory. As an artist and arts educator at midlife and mid-career, I appreciated having the opportunity to discern the elements of my creative work and career that are most important to carry forward into my next season.”
— AMY B., VISUAL ARTIST & PROFESSOR
