Not specifically, but it's hard to think honestly about mortality and death without involving values and beliefs. Our speakers intentionally represent a range of perspectives and religious beliefs, and our hope is to create a space where all people can be held with openness and respect. Wherever you're coming from, we invite you to bring your whole self, your questions, fears, and faith system included.

No, people of all faiths and no faith are warmly welcome, and you’re invited to choose the breakouts that fit you. Most sessions are practical, clinical, creative, or contemplative in a broader sense. Some sessions draw on the Christian tradition and speak directly to professing Christians – these will be clearly indicated as such in the title or descriptions.

Many people come to this gathering carrying a loss, and we hope you'll find it a gentle and supportive space. Conversations will touch on death directly, so we encourage you to take care of yourself: step out whenever you need to, and choose sessions that feel right for where you are. The Reflection Room will be available throughout the day for those who need quiet and to step aside, and death doulas trained in grief support will be on hand to support.

We would love for this summit to be accessible to everyone. If cost is a barrier, please reach out to hello@heretohonor.com—we’re happy to explore further scholarship options with you.

Tickets are non-refundable. However, if you are no longer able to attend, please let us know at hello@heretohonor.com in case we’re able to release your spot to someone from the waiting list. We’d be happy to issue you a refund in that case. You're also welcome to transfer your ticket to someone else by emailing their name to us.

 Yes, you're free to come and go as you need, though we hope you'll stay for the full arc of the day. Only full-day tickets are available.

Yes, a communal lunch is included and is one of the heart moments of the day. You can note dietary restrictions when registering. We'll offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Our apologies in advance if we’re not able to accommodate more specific dietary needs.

Yes, a photographer will be capturing the day. Moments of private or personal sharing will not be photographed. As part of registration, we’ll ask you to sign a photography release form.
