NINE KEYS
School of Death Arts
A school for artists, death workers,
grief workers, and culture makers
who refuse to flatten
death work into a script.
Death work as art and cultural practice.
THE STUDIOS
The Nine Keys School of Death Arts Studios are creative gatherings free from art-world ego, where we explore art, grief, beauty, mystery, and belonging. Through art-making, conversation, and communion with our art ancestors, we deepen our relationship with ourselves, our world, and the unseen threads that connect us.
PODCAST
The Nine Keys & Co. Podcast is a place for real-talk conversations among death workers - exploring art, grief, care work, soft business, cultural critique, The Death Healer’s Hexagon, the somatics of death work, and death work as cultural practice.
TENTH KEY
The Nine Keys School of Death Arts death worker graduates are invited to join the Tenth Key for ongoing connection, community support, art-making, magic, and soft-business development.
The Tenth Key serves as a sacred pod where death workers can feel held, inspired, and incredibly supported.
MEET NARINDER
ARTIST, INTUITIVE,
DEATH MIDWIFE, FOUNDER
Narinder Bazen is an artist, full spectrum death midwife, intuitive counselor, writer, and the founder of the Nine Keys School of Death Arts.
Her work is a gathering of petals: art, trauma care, play, death work education, animism, culture midwifery, witchcraft, and the power of beauty and imagination. Through teaching, writing, podcasting, and making, Narinder turns these petals like the end of a kaleidoscope, inviting people to see a wider, stranger, more beautiful life - to be in relationship with soul, to live in death awareness, to make use of grief, and to partake in the daring work of becoming more fully alive in a world that is currently fearing its own fate.
She lives in Maine with her dog, Oak Vaughn Bazen. Oakie.
death work mentorship
For death workers, artists, and care workers navigating the beautiful, bewildering realities of this work. Together we tend the practical, personal, creative, and existential questions that arise along the way.
