# Event Details - **Event Name**: Celebration of Life: Seattle - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: A full day for everyone death has touched. Speakers, community, practical help, and an evening of connection with those we've lost.About this EventCome as you are. Honor who you're missing.Some losses change the entire shape of your life.A father. A best friend. A mother. A child. A partner who made the world make sense, and then didn't.And after, the casseroles stop coming. The calls get less frequent. The world moves on in a way that feels like a small betrayal. And you are left carrying something that has nowhere to go.Celebration of Life Seattle was built for that exact moment.Who this is forIf you have lost someone, whether that was last month or twenty years ago, this day is for you. You do not have to call it grief. You do not have to call yourself anything. You just have to be someone who is missing a person.It is also for the people who love you and want to help. If someone in your life has lost someone and you have never known what to say, come. You will leave knowing.And it is for the professionals who do this work every day, and rarely get held themselves.What this isA full-day gathering at The Point at Pier 70 on Seattle's Elliott Bay, one of the most beautiful waterfront venues in the Pacific Northwest. Four hundred people. A floor of trusted practitioners, organizations, artists, and makers whose work exists to serve people navigating loss and end-of-life decisions. Speakers and panels that go where most conversations won't. A nationally recognized keynote.And as the sun goes down over the water, an Evening of Mediumship featuring international mediums.If that's unfamiliar, here is what it is. The mediums work from the stage and bring through specific, particular details about people who have died, offered to audience members they have never met. The kind of details that let you know without a doubt it is your person. Not everyone in the room will receive a message, but the evening belongs to everyone, because watching it happen changes what you believe is possible.Respectful skeptics are genuinely welcome. We only ask that you come with an open heart and an open mind.Because the relationship does not end when someone dies. It changes.What to expect from usYou do not have to be social to belong here. Nobody will make you share, or introduce yourself, or explain what happened. You can sit at the edge of the room all day and still be exactly where you should be. You can come alone. Most people will.This is not a conference. It is not a support group. It is a community, carefully built, beautifully held, and designed to feel like the thing loss rarely offers: a room full of people who understand.This event is spiritual, not religious. All faiths, all backgrounds, all beliefs are welcome. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/c372c660-a41a-11f1-9988-bfc638c33a5a-rimg-w796-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/c389f7e0-a41a-11f1-9988-bfc638c33a5a-rimg-w1200-h686-dc686868-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/c39c9580-a41a-11f1-9988-bfc638c33a5a-rimg-w1200-h295-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg AgendaπŸ•‘: 11:00 AM - 11:30 AMDoors Open for Wings + Ascend Ticket HoldersInfo: Doors open early for Wings and Ascend guests. The vendor floor is yours before anyone else arrives, which means real conversations with practitioners before the room fills. Coffee, tea, and water are waiting. Find your seat, get your bearings, breathe. This half hour is intentionally unhurried. Use it however you need to.πŸ•‘: 11:30 AMGeneral Doors Open Β· Vendor Floor + CommunityInfo: The doors open and the whole thing begins. The Fireside Lounge comes alive with our vendor floor: grief therapists, death doulas, hospice organizations, memorial artists, somatic practitioners, ritual goods, and books. Wander it. Talk to people. Buy something beautiful. Everything is available for purchase throughout the day, and you will almost certainly find a few things you didn't know you needed. Stop by our Angel Wings wall and get your photo taken. Private one-on-one sittings with our mediums also begin during this time, available by advance appointment only (to book: https://celebrationoflifeseattle.com/meet-the-mediums). Thirty minutes, just you and one medium, in a quiet room away from the floor. Sittings are limited and they book quickly. Our Angels, the volunteer team in white, are with you from the moment you walk in. If you need anything at all, or just want someone to stand next to for a minute, find one of them. Settle in. The program starts soon.πŸ•‘: 12:00 PMWelcomeHost: Colleen ColemanInfo: Colleen Coleman opens the day from the main stage of the Needle's Point Ballroom. Founder and CEO of Celebration of Life Studios, graduate student in thanatology, the study of death and dying, and most passionately, a professional psychic medium. She built this room because when her own father died, it did not exist. She will set the tone, name why we are all here, and welcome every single person who walked through that door. Some of you traveled a long way. Some of you almost didn't come at all. This is not a conference opener. It is an invitation.πŸ•‘: 12:10 PMOpening SpeakersInfo: Two voices open the day: Verhanika Willhelm and Jennifer de Leon. Honest, grounded, and human. No platitudes and no performance. Just the truth of what it is to love someone and lose them, said out loud, in a room full of people who already understand. This is the moment the day stops being an event and starts being something else. If you have spent months carefully managing how much of this you let people see, you can stop here.πŸ•‘: 01:00 PMExpert Panel: What do I do now? Building a Life with LossInfo: A moderated panel, led by Verhanika Willhelm, bringing together five people who think about death and loss for a living: Pat Lowinger, Dr. Pamela Steele, Dr. Janet McCord, Migizi Miigwan, and Carmen Watson-Charles. Between them: research, teaching, cultural tradition, and their own losses. A thanatologist with thirty years in the field. An anthropologist who studies how other cultures handle death. A therapist who lost nearly everyone and built something from it. Two Indigenous educators who hold this work through community, land, and water. You will walk away with a much wider sense of what grief is allowed to look like. That the American way of doing death is not the only way, or the oldest. That there is no timeline you are behind on. And that the relationship you are grieving does not have to end for you to move forward, whatever you were told about closure.πŸ•‘: 02:00 PM Community Break + Vendor FloorInfo: Step outside and take a breath. The air off Elliott Bay is cool and the light is starting to turn, and there is no better time to stand still for a minute. When you are ready, come back in. Explore the vendor floor, find a familiar face or a new one, or simply sit and let the day settle. There is nowhere you need to be right now. That is the point of this hour.πŸ•‘: 03:00 PMKeynote: The Job Nobody Trains You ForInfo: Our featured keynote welcomes Cassidie Carmen Bates, MPP, TEDx Speaker, researcher and founder of Soul Executor. When someone dies, you don't just lose them. You get handed a job: the accounts, the paperwork, the endless decisions, all due while you can barely think straight. Cassidie has lived it and studied it, and she talks about it plainly. You will leave knowing that what you are going through is normal, that you are allowed to ask your workplace and the people around you for more, and what to actually say when you do.πŸ•‘: 04:00 PMCommunity Break + Vendor FloorInfo: Your last chance at the vendor floor, and a moment to complete any booked sessions before the evening begins. Then find your seat. The room shifts during this hour, lighter and warmer and quieter, and most people feel it before they can name it. Take care of whatever you need now. Once the mediums begin working, there is no entry or exit from the ballroom.πŸ•‘: 05:00 PM - 06:30 PMAn Evening of MediumshipHost: Colleen ColemanInfo: Doors close at 5:00 PM. No late entry, and no film or photography once we begin. As the light changes over Elliott Bay, the day becomes something else. Colleen Coleman and five international mediums, hand selected for their ability, integrity, and ongoing commitment to their own development, work the room live. Here is what that means. The mediums bring through specific, particular details about people who have died, offered to audience members they have never met. The kind of details that let you know without a doubt it is your person. Grief research has held for thirty years what this evening makes visible: the bond does not break. It changes form. What you were told about closure and letting go was never supported by the evidence. Respectful skeptics are genuinely welcome. We ask only that you come with an open heart and an open mind. Not everyone in the room will receive a message. Everyone in the room will feel it.πŸ•‘: 06:45 PM - 07:45 PMAscend Champagne Toast (Ascend ticket holders only)Info: Twenty people. That is the entire guest list. Ascend guests are escorted upstairs to a private loft with panoramic views of the Seattle skyline, Elliott Bay, and the Olympic Mountains. Champagne is poured the moment you walk in. And then the room fills with the people you spent all day listening to. All five international mediums. The keynote. The panelists. No stage between you, no line to wait in, no three minutes at the edge of a crowd. This is your hour with them. Ask the medium from Scotland the question you have been holding since the evening ended. Sit with the thanatologist and say the thing you have never said out loud. Talk to the keynote about what it actually looks like in your own life. These are people who are almost never accessible like this, and for one hour, in a room of twenty, they are yours. The sun long gone, the water below, and the afterglow of whatever just happened downstairs. Twenty seats. When they are gone, they are gone. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/seattle/celebration-of-life-seattle/100001992518612808 - **Event Categories**: business, nonprofit, art, conferences, spiritual, volunteering - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: under_18_with_guardian - Duration: 8 hours - Location: The Point at Pier 70 - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 54.66, max: 316.63, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Seattle - **state**: WA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Point at Pier 70 - **lat**: 47.6148147 - **long**: -122.3549669 - **full address**: The Point at Pier 70, 2801 Alaskan Way, Seattle, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Celebration of Life: Seattle - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/363a417c07e4e9576133e91864be31cc95299d800ceb062cf3fcb38af0d18b90-rimg-w1200-h600-dca39773-gmir.jpg?v=1782628789 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Celebration of Life: Seattle being held? - **A:** Celebration of Life: Seattle takes place on Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm at The Point at Pier 70, 2801 Alaskan Way, Seattle, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Celebration of Life: Seattle? - **A:** Celebration of Life: Seattle is organized by Colleen Coleman. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
