Death, Life, and the In-Between

We believe in the power of education. At Morbid Anatomy, that means combatting fear with curiosity and embracing diverse voices. We help people overcome a fear of death, which studies show empowers them to forge strong and healthy relationships, cultivate community, and find a deeper sense of happiness.

Your donation enables Morbid Anatomy to keep our educational programming affordable,
offer free and low-cost lectures, commission and produce independent original content, cultivate community, and maintain and operate a free public research library.

In this challenging moment, Morbid Anatomy, more than ever, stands as a safe space for independent thought, cultivating the life-affirming value of beauty and care through the lens of limited time. Alternative platforms for education are increasingly important, and your support helps provide resources and fair pay to educators.

For centuries, cultures around the world have used the contemplation of mortality as a way to process grief, find resilience, and clarify what truly matters. Since 2007, Morbid Anatomy has existed as a safe haven to explore death, life, and the in-between. In the past year, we've taught classes spanning topics that include spiritual activism, developing creativity, tapping intuition, dealing with mortality and grief, and exploring healing modalities. Our new once-monthly online death cafe is free and accessible to the public.

The heart of our organization—our popular series of classes, lectures, international trips, and workshops—empowers people with tools and knowledge to effect meaningful change that will reach far beyond our space into personal projects, communities, and lives. This fundraising effort will help us keep our education program affordable and accessible to the widest possible audience, as well as sustain our free public research library.

Whether mourning, facing mortality, or searching for a way to make sense of an unpredictable and ever-changing world, Morbid Anatomy programming offers insight, comfort, and the tools to sit with uncertainty while embracing joy, love, and the life you have now.

Amid uncontrollable change, join us and learn the power of embracing the unknown.
