Trans Grief & Death Planning Workshop: Kalisto Nanen, affectionately known as Listo Nanen by his friends and family is a student funeral director and undertaker, breath worker, death guide, plant worker, and performance artist just to name a few of his multi-talents. He is the owner and founder of Syzygy Passings a Death Guide business that works in advance care directives, grief support, and arts. In the era of a modern pandemic as well as a world under oppression the thought of death is picking at our minds and I am here to guide you through planning death so that we as transgender community and families of transgender individuals can rest assured that our bodies will be remembered the way we want them to be remembered. In the hour break out group we will work over a listening section where we talk about where we are at in our lives and discuss our fears, we will go into a 5-10 minute session where we will work on writing our plans and then share them. We will also work through knowing what the current Washington State Advance Care Directive looks like, and discuss rights at the end of life.
