Death Awareness Tour in Puerto Rico
The Death Awareness Tour 2025 is a community project that seeks to transform the relationship we have with death in Puerto Rico. Through workshops, discussions and educational activities, we want to create safe spaces to talk about death, grief and life transitions. Our goal is to contextualize death, promote community care, and empower people with tools to prepare to face it with dignity and humanity.
What are end-of-life doulas?
The end of the end of life are non -medical companions that we provide physical, emotional, spiritual and practical support to people at any stage of their life, especially in the near times at the end. We help plan, accept and navigate the process of dying in a dignified and conscious way, empowering both people and their families to face death with peace and autonomy.
He supports and participates in this transformative initiative that seeks to improve the quality of life and death in Puerto Rico, creating a more prepared, conscious and resilient community against our losses, our duels and at the end of life.

Documentary and film forum premiere
Ethan Sisser, a young man with brain cancer, sits alone in his hospital room. When he begins to broadcast his death trip on social networks, thousands of people from all over the world join him and celebrate his courage. Even so, Ethan imagines more: teach the world how to die without fear. To honor his last desire to film his death, they transport him to a quiet house in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina. What follows is a story that has never been told: how a group of strangers becomes a family for a man who does not want to die alone.

LIVE DEATH PODCAST
A podcast to intimid with our mortality and live fully
Living death means recognizing that life and death are the same experience, that death accompanies us since our life is conceived and that we are here to recognize and honor beyond that polarity of one extreme and the other. We are the portal that unifies life and death. And we explore how our human experience is evidence that we live constantly in community.
Desde la perspectiva de doulas de muerte, en este podcast Wilka invita a Alex a explorar el tema de vivir la muerte, y así comparten sus experiencias extraordinarias, sus reflexiones, su entendimiento acerca de la muerte y para qué estamos aquí, lo invisible, lo que no se dice, el abrazar nuestros últimos momentos en este cuerpo y también los duelos del cotidiano.
