Social Workers & Clinicians REGISTER HERE: https://swhpn.mn.co/events/tending-to-professional-grief-a-grief-healing-open-mic-for-hospice-palliative-care-social-workers-and-clinicians-73793558
An open mic dedicated to exploring and sharing the profound emotions inherent in working with serious illness, loss, and end-of-life care. This is a communal offering for the hospice and palliative care clinician community to intimately meet in the shared experience of what it means to do the work we do. It is a space—with laughter and tears—to grieve the losses, honor the beauty, and connect creatively and vulnerably. Together, we will listen and be listened to, remembering that we are not alone.
Through poetry, storytelling, music, and other forms of creative expression, this open mic is an opportunity to:
Reflect: Honor the grief and growth that accompany your professional caregiving journey.
Connect: Find solidarity and support among a network of peers who deeply understand the unique challenges of your role.
Restore: Draw inspiration and healing through creativity, connection, and ritual.
How to Prepare: This is an open mic format, meaning anyone who wishes to share is welcome to bring their voice to the space. Consider preparing a poem, a song, a short story, or even a reflective thought that captures your experience. Music will be interwoven throughout the event to hold space for all participants. Sharing is optional—listening is just as powerful.
Come as you are to this sacred time for connection, compassion, and healing.
*In order to preserve a flexible format for sharing and receiving, no CE credit will be offered for this special community event.

Sign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly, so if you want to perform, you’d better get there early…
If you’re going to perform, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)].
Poetry, prose, music, dancing, comedy, drama, happy, sad, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want.
You don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers.
Please don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument, figure it out before you’re called to the stage.
IMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged.You're Going to Die. No. Really. You are.

WRITING w/MONSTERS - a Becoming Monster Festival ONLINE YG2D Writing Workshop
Join us for an online writing workshop with Becoming Monster - A Convening at the End of the Human…
As a part of ten’s (The Emergence Network) Becoming Monster Festival [FIND OUT MORE HERE], YG2D is offering Writing w/Monsters - an Online YG2D Writing Workshop [DETAILS HERE] with music throughout to inspire / soften / open / hold, with prompts focusing on creatively exploring our monsters of mortality [death, decay, grief and loss]. Participants might also explore the “monsters” of self and society – our own death and decay, so often in modern times considered to be “monstrously wrong,” as things that “shouldn’t happen,” or the monsters that desperately need confronting and reckoning, perhaps in the context of social justice or selfcare – cancer, pathogens, violence, war, chronic illness, mental illness, racism, etc. There is always room in You’re Going to Die spaces, and so then too with our Becoming Monster offering, for each community member to creatively explore what’s needed individually, resulting in a singularly unique communal conversation we all share – an experience never again replicated, simply ours and ours alone. Registration required. Maximum 20 participants.
FACILITATED BY: YG2D | Ned Buskirk & Chelsea Coleman
SESSION DATE: Wednesday, October 30th
SESSION TIME: 14:00 - 16:00 PDT | 21:00 - 23:00 UTC
LOCATION: Online everywhere
Becoming Monster is a five-day festival with virtual, hybrid and in-person components hosted by ten (The Emergence Network) and a strange ecology of friends and partners (non-human and human alike) from around the planet. This event is a space held for grieving the losses that come with living into the end-times AND playing with ideas of fabulation, imagination and questioning: what else might the human be in our crumbling, entangled, pulsating, animist world(s). It will take place October 30th – November 3rd, 2024 in a season associated with a porosity between realms, celebrations of reunion between the living and the dead, congress with the underworld and the ancestors. There will be a schedule of online offerings, as well as self-organized in-person gatherings and events in different places around the world. Some of these in situ events will welcome in virtual participation as well. Please check back to learn more about the sessions, celebrations and artistic offerings and the contributors that will bring Becoming Monster to life. This will be a highly participatory experience shaped and in-bodied by those who make offerings during our time together. Modes of inquiry and praxis may include making art together, engaging in ritual and ceremony, and opening space for heart / body / instinct-centered practices.

The Last Ecstatic Days: A Virtual Screening and Q&A
Join us for a virtual screening of the new documentary film “The Last Ecstatic Days”, followed by Q&A with the filmmaking team.
Ethan Sisser, a young man with terminal brain cancer, sits alone in his hospital room. When he starts livestreaming his death journey on social media, thousands of people around the world join to celebrate his courage. Still, Ethan envisions more – to teach the world how to die without fear. To do that, he needs to film his death. Honoring Ethan's wish, his doctor Aditi Sethi transports him to an idyllic house in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. What unfolds next is a story rarely glimpsed: how a community of strangers helps a young man die with grace. A sensory immersion into leaving the body, The Last Ecstatic Days reveals a man who will not let us forget him – even after he’s taken his final breath.

is an open mic event, the communal offering for us to explore the conversation of death & dying, to embrace our losses & mortality, to grieve, bereave & honor those we’ve lost & love… while all the while making room for simply being ALIVE.
Sign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly, so if you want to perform, you’d better get there early…
If you’re going to perform, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)].
Poetry, prose, music, dancing, comedy, drama, happy, sad, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want.
You don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers.
Please don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument, figure it out before you’re called to the stage.
IMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged.
You're Going to Die. No. Really. You are.

This LIVING EULOGIES show offers people the unique opportunity to eulogize the living, by sharing poems, prose, or song for that someone… WHO ISN'T DEAD YET!
Hosted by Chelsea Coleman
at The Lost Church - San Francisco
988 Columbus Ave
San Francisco, CA 94133-2310
Doors at 7:30pm.
Show at 8pm.
All performances end at 10:30pm.
Seating is first come, first served.
Invite your loved one, your friend, your partner, your family... & take this chance to say everything you want to say while you still have the chance to say it.
Yes, you can eulogize yourself.
*And if you felt the need to re-euologize someone, someone you've eulogized before & want to do it again, OR someone you never got the chance to eulogize, there will be some room for this as well.
IF YOU ARE BRINGING THE PERSON YOU ARE EULOGIZING TO THE SHOW, YOU CAN SECURE YOUR SPOT ON THE LIST IN ADVANCE. We understand this offering might take more preparation, and out of respect for your time and the burden of logistics, we don’t want to risk you writing something AND bringing the person with you, just to run out of time (although that would be a good death practice - preparation is no guarantee of ANYTHING happening the way we plan)
Please email connect@yg2d.com to get on the performer list IF and only IF you are bringing the person with you that you are Living Eulogizing.
There will still be plenty of sign-up spots available the night-of the event for eulogies for folks who aren’t present, as well as other spontaneous eulogy-adjacent shares.
And support MORE with ticket tiers. You choose the amount.
The tickets tiers are direct ways of offering more support to YG2D, a 501(c)3 Non-profit bringing diverse communities creatively into the conversation of death & dying, inspiring life by unabashedly sourcing our shared mortality. Thank you for any additional help you can offer.
And please email connect@yg2d.com if you need financial support to be a part of the evening.

Ages 10 and over are welcome. (Parental discretion is advised for some events).

THE EVENT ON FACEBOOK: https://fb.me/e/2j0Hqn7CL
Join us for an enlivening evening of holding the light & dark in community, with a live recorded conversation and Q&A with New York Times best-selling author, world-renowned activist/thought leader, and founder of the international movement The Body Is Not An Apology Sonya Renee Taylor & the composing/performing/grief-working, dumb joke-writing, award-winning duo The Bengsons, featuring music from The Bengsons, hosted by You're Going to Die's Ned Buskirk. The evening will be recorded for an episode of You're Going to Die: The Podcast.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sonya Renee Taylor is a New York Times best-selling author, world-renowned activist and thought leader on racial justice, body liberation and transformational change, international award winning artist, and founder of The Body Is Not an Apology (TBINAA), a global digital media and education company exploring the intersections of identity, healing, and social justice through the framework of radical self-love. In her book of the same name, The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love, Sonya lays out her radical self-love vision, arguing that all people arrive on this planet in a state of self-love before internalizing messages of shame and injustice from systems of oppression. Healing, Sonya suggests, takes place through reconnecting with our inherent divine enoughness, transforming how we live in and relate to both our bodies and the bodies of others. - https://www.sonyareneetaylor.com/
The Bengsons, Abigail & Shaun, are a married composing and performing duo based in NYC and VT who have performed across the country and around the world. Their video for "The Keep Going Song" has been viewed over 4 million times. Three of their singles have been featured on “So You Think You Can Dance” (FOX).

Check out our GRIEF RELEASE COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS: https://www.yg2d.com/grief-release-agreements
This space is for everyone who needs it to gather with community once a week & make space for ongoing &/or new grief in our lives. There will be music, readings, & time for sharing. The length of shares & how many shares will depend on who's in attendance each week - while we make special room for those who especially need our listening, remembering that our listening is its own medicine, not just for who we listen to, but for ourselves.
This online event is as FREE as you need it to be, every week. Especially if you are in financial danger, let it be FREE. We're just happy you're alive & able to join. And if you're earning income (or are just generally well resourced), we very much welcome your generosity...
