Compassionate, holistic support for expats facing death, dying and loss on Madeira.
For Madeira's international community
Without the night, we cannot see the stars…
Many of the people we support are far from the country they grew up in, navigating an unfamiliar healthcare and legal system at the exact moment they have the least capacity for it. Our compassionate facilitator Leila provides emotional, spiritual and practical support to help you plan for and embrace end-of-life and other transitions.
We can help you process loss, honor legacies, and accept impermanence with care, creativity and reverence — wherever home used to be.
We are based on Madeira — an island the ancient Greeks believed to be Elysium, the Isles of the Blessed, where good souls went after death. It felt like the right place to help people face their own.
More about usWe offer practical and compassionate support whether it's you or someone you know facing end-of-life decisions. This includes help connecting with clinicians and therapies to ease pain and suffering, death preparation, funeral and legacy planning and preparing family and friends. We also offer life review and consolidation guidance.
Learn moreWhether or not you feel you are close to death, we can help you see death as giving you permission to live. We offer 1:1 sessions in a judgement-free space to discuss thanatophobia (the fear of dying), life reflections, living funeral planning, and philosophical and anthropological perspectives on death. Workshops will also be offered soon.
Learn moreDeath has become so toxic to our society, when you are close to it, it is difficult to access appropriate support to process your experience. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, or a relationship, or an idea - endings are sacred. We provide space and support to process and integrate the end of one chapter, and allow the next chapter to form.
Learn moreWe offer an alternative approach to death and dying- rooted in the sacred, and in the ancient soil of Madeira, an island already mythologised as a destination for a blessed death. Through alternative medicines, therapies and human connection, we help you approach the end of life with calm, grace and alignment.
