The Event

What if a conversation could change the way you think about life—and death? 

 

As night falls, step through the gates of one of Toronto's historic cemeteries, drawn by the glow of soft, saturated light and distant music. Here, among centuries of stories etched in stone, an extraordinary evening unfolds. 

 

In this intimate gathering, historians bring the past into vivid focus, while contemporary voices share profound personal insights about mortality, meaning, and what it truly means to live. Together with fellow seekers, you'll explore the conversations we rarely have—about death, grief, legacy, and the unknown. 

 

This is not a lecture or performance. It's an invitation to break the silence around life's greatest mystery, to listen deeply, and to discover new perspectives in an atmosphere of openness and reflection. 

 

Part of the Luminato Conversation Series, Last Words: Talking in Cemeteries dares to bring the most inevitable, and often most avoided, subject into the light.
