About us
Changing the cultural conversation
Who we are
We empower people to proactively prepare for their death, so they are inspired to live a more fearless, intentional life today.
We do this by inspiring individuals, families and communities to explore their fears around death and dying, then creatively encourage deeper inquiry into how to live with intention, purpose and meaning at any stage of life.
Our mission
End in Mind takes the universal experience of dying to help you re-imagine what it means to live fully at any stage of life.

The Art of Difficult Conversations
The Art of Difficult Conversations is a virtual space for people to practice the skills needed to have difficult conversations about the challenges we all face – from tough discussions about work or family, to illness and decline, death and dying, or grief and loss. Art is our doorway into exploration.
