Death Movement Events In Mallorca

FESTIVAL Dando Vida a la Muerte and Glynis German have organised three events in Mallorca in English which form part of a bigger death movement in Spain!

Now in its fourth year, the festival has gone from strength to strength with over 50 events on offer this year all over Spain!

With that in mind, “I’ve always been fascinated by death but for the past eight years, it has actually been my profession and I enjoy teaching and empowering people to get more comfortable with this often misunderstood topic” explained German, an independent celebrant based in Mallorca.

She added “We can do such a disservice to others when we don’t know what to say to them upon the loss of a loved one”

Wednesday November 1 at 11am

Tanatorio II Bon Sosec near Al Campo in Marratxi is the setting for this remembrance ceremony. Officiated by German who will be joined by Amanda Hibbitt, a newly qualified funeral celebrant based in Mallorca.
