The Remembering Room

A guided in-home gathering where family and friends come together to honor the life of someone they love.

There are stories only your family can tell.

The Remembering Room invites loved ones to gather around one table to create a collaborative memory book filled with photographs, handwritten memories, artwork, favorite recipes, meaningful quotes, and stories that deserve to be preserved.

Each guest creates one or two pages.

Together, those pages become a beautiful keepsake for the immediate family - a lasting reminder that a life is remembered through many voices.

No artistic experience is needed.

We provide all materials and gently guide the experience so your family can simply be present with one another.

About Draw Near

Draw Near began from a shared belief that creativity has the power to bring people together and promote healing.

Combining backgrounds in studio art, mental health counseling, and art therapy, we create thoughtfully guided experiences where people can slow down, connect with one another, and honor life’s meaningful moments.

We believe every person carries a unique piece of someone’s story. Our hope is to create spaces where those stories are shared, preserved, and treasured for generations.
