Will Daddario is a therapist, addictions specialist, scholar, grief worker, and educator whose interdisciplinary work bridges performance philosophy, contemplative grief practices, and cultural theory. With a Ph.D. in Theatre Historiography, Daddario’s early academic research focused on the intersections of performance, memory, and political thought, contributing widely to fields such as performance studies, critical theory, and the philosophy of history. His scholarly publications often interrogate how performance can serve as a tool for both critical inquiry and personal transformation.
In recent years, Daddario has turned his attention toward grief work, developing a distinctive approach that integrates somatic awareness, ritual, and philosophical reflection. Following the sudden death of his son, he and his wife co-founded Inviting Abundance, a collaborative practice dedicated to companioning individuals through grief and life transitions. Through workshops, writings, and one-on-one sessions, he fosters spaces for deep listening, communal healing, and existential exploration.
Daddario’s work is informed by a diverse range of intellectual and spiritual traditions, including Zen Buddhism, psychoanalysis, and post-structuralist thought. He regularly leads public workshops on grief literacy and has collaborated with clinicians, artists, and community organizers to expand public understanding of grief as a generative and transformative force.
Will Daddario continues to write, teach, and guide others from the confluence of academic rigor and lived experience, offering pathways for cultivating meaning and resilience in the face of profound change. His private therapeutic practice is accepting clients.
