Goldenwood Institute Intensive: Life & Death in NYC: Learning to Die Well and Live Now
Death is the one reality we all share—yet it’s the one we most often leave unspoken.
Life & Death in New York City is a one-day summit organized by Goldenwood Institute that brings this conversation into the open, exploring mortality and meaning as a path toward living more fully. Together at the historic Parish of Calvary-St. George’s in Gramercy, we’ll gather for presentations, communal conversations, immersive experiences, and a shared meal—all designed to illuminate how we may prepare for death in ways that are beautifully hospitable, deeply human, and grounded in hope.
We will approach learning about death holistically, exploring themes of lament and joy, head and body, heart and hands, while also gaining practical tools for the end-of-life journey.
The day includes:
Plenary sessions with keynote speakers drawn from our network of industry and thought leaders
Two breakout sessions with hands-on workshops, creative activities, and contemplative practices, facilitated by local end-of-life practitioners and educators
A communal lunch, gathering around the table to feast, reflect, and practice presence together
