Human Library: Redefining death and relationships

As a death doula, Xinran helps people cultivate better relationships with death - especially the kinds that are often unacknowledged or invalidated.

Like the loss of a job, a pet, or a relationship.

After all, death is not just something that happens at the end of life; it’s a practice.

So how can we be expected to let it all go at the end if we don’t do it in smaller doses in our daily living?

Xinran is also the co-founder of Conscious Dating Asia, a movement that challenges the status quo of dating culture. How do we develop skills for meaningful dating, especially in the world of swiping and instant gratification?

Xinran will delve into her experiences and related challenges, as we connect with the world around us.
