Self Eulogy Workshop

Are you living authentically? With integrity? Are you shaping your life in a way you'd want it to be remembered? Will the way people perceive you after death reflect the values you hold dear now? If not, how might you begin to realign?

Consider this as either a lithograph—a lasting image—or a blueprint—a plan still in progress. The choice is yours because you’re here, alive, with the power to decide. To contemplate death is ultimately to reflect on life.

What is Panegyric?

A panegyric is a published speech or text praising someone or something.

What is Self-Eulogizing?

Self-eulogizing is writing your own eulogy—a reflection on the parts of your life you want to honor and celebrate. This is the essence of the Panegyric Mirror Meditation.

Why is Self-Eulogizing Valuable?

Typically, a eulogy is written by a loved one, often under pressure and with limited insight into the values or achievements most meaningful to the deceased. Writing a self-eulogy allows you to highlight the aspects of your life that matter most to you—the things you want to be remembered for, whether it’s your kindness, volunteer work, accomplishments, or whatever brings you pride and fulfillment.

A self-eulogy not only honors your story on your terms but also lightens the emotional load for your loved ones. With so much to navigate after a loss, having your eulogy ready can be one less task for them to carry.
