SUMMARY:Red\, White and Bruised : A Soft Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:This July 4th weekend\, we’re not celebrating — we’re tending to what’s been scorched and what’s still unfolding. Red\, White & Bruised: The Soft Rebellion is a sound-centered gathering born from the grief in our city — in the wake of fires that choked our skies\, and amid ongoing ICE raids that continue to separate families and spread fear. \nThis is not a party. This is a place to rest. A meditative sound bath for the overburdened and the underheld. A quiet container to lay down your rage\, your grief\, your numbness\, your breath. A space where stillness is protest\, where sound is balm\, and where no one has to explain why they’re tired. Whether you’re mourning a loved one\, grieving what’s happening in our neighborhoods\, or simply surviving the weight of this moment — you are welcome here. Come as you are. Pay what you can. \nLeave softer.

SUMMARY:The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course
DESCRIPTION:According to a recent AARP study\, there are over 52 million caregivers in the United States right now—and 70% of them say they are overwhelmed. Every single day\, I receive messages from current and former caregivers who say:\n“I wish I had this knowledge when I was caring for my loved one.”\nOr:\n“The Doulagivers training is helping me more than I can say.” \nThe truth is:\nWe will all have a caregiving story. \nLet’s make sure yours is one filled with support\, empowerment\, and peace. \nThat’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a free\, live\, 12-month educational journey through my bestselling book The Good Death: A Guide for Supporting Your Loved One Through the End of Life. \nWhat It Is:\nEach month\, we explore one chapter of The Good Death together. \nYou’ll receive:\n-A live End of life teaching course with me\, Suzanne B. O’Brien\, RN\n-A guided workbook and downloadable companion guide\n-A group discussion and experiential exercise\n-A full 12 month Death and Dying Course for free \nWho It’s For: \n-Current and future caregivers ( all of us )\n-Death Doulas\, aspiring Death Doulas\, medical professionals\n-Individuals seeking grief healing and emotional support\n-Anyone who wants spiritual inspiration and empowerment around death\, aging\, and life itself \nWhy It Matters:\nDeath is 100% guaranteed—and yet\, our modern culture has stripped away the education and sacredness that used to surround it. \nThis lack of awareness is contributing to unnecessary fear\, trauma\, and prolonged suffering and grief. \nBut death is not the enemy. \nIt is our greatest teacher about how to truly live. \nWhen we return death to its place as a natural\, sacred transition\, we begin to reclaim peace\, presence\, and purpose in our lives and communities TODAY! \nWhat You Can Do:\nJoin The Experience and Share with Your Friends!

SUMMARY:(a)Wake x Gay Gardens present: A Living Funeral Ceremony & Death Salon
DESCRIPTION:Ritual and community at the edge of what was and what comes next under the Leo New Moon. Join us for a Living Funeral Ceremony followed by a Death Salon. \n​A Living Funeral Ceremony is an immersive meditative experience that encourages participants to face their own mortality. Through engaging in ritual and guidance through a death visualization–contemplating your own memorial as you imagine letting go of your earthly self–participants are invited to “die before you die\, to live while you’re alive.” \n​This ceremonial experience provides a safe and supportive space to confront fears around death and impermanence\, while also fostering a deeper connection to life’s fragility and beauty. Often compared to the experience of ego death\, this ritual leaves many with a renewed sense of purpose and a profound appreciation for the present moment. \n​TIMING \n​Please arrive on time by 7pm\, as the container will close once the ceremony begins to honor the sacred environment we are co-creating. The ritual portion takes up to 90 minutes. After the ceremony is complete\, Kaitlyn will hold space for a Death Salon where participants will be invited to reflect alone or in community\, support our curated food vendors\, and gently reintegrate until 10pm. \n​WHAT TO BRING/WEAR \n​A blanket\, yoga mat\, or something to lay on\nComfortable\, breathable clothing is recommended\nThis is at an outdoor venue\, so please keep that in mind \n​PRICING STRUCTURE \n​(a)Wake is part of a movement toward collective care. Please choose the price that suits your current situation. \n​$22 – Community Supported (for those who need financial access to attend; limited availability)\n​$33 – Base Rate (covers cost of materials + energy exchange)\n​$44 – True Cost (what it actually costs to offer this ceremony)\n​$55+ – Community Sustainer (supports others to attend + helps this work remain sustainable) \n​This ceremony will be facilitated by Kaitlyn Pietras (she/her)\, a queer Jewish grief worker and visual artist based in Los Angeles. She is the creator of (a)Wake\, a ritual container at the intersection of grief\, death\, and art. Her practice is rooted in tending to both personal and collective grief\, connecting with ancestral wisdom\, and creating ritual spaces for the LGBTQIA+ community. Kaitlyn’s work weaves together plant magic\, Jewish mysticism\, and somatic storytelling. \n​She trained directly with Emily Cross of the Steady Waves Center\, who developed this ceremony inspired by living funerals originally held in South Korea. These ceremonies were created to help participants reflect on their lives and reconnect with a sense of meaning and purpose in the face of death.

SUMMARY:Grief & Tell
DESCRIPTION:Remember the days of Show & Tell in elementary school? That feeling of having the undivided attention of your classmates as you share something that mattered to you? \nWe want to bring that feeling back. \nSo often\, grievers feel like they don’t have the space to continue sharing about the person they’ve lost. It seems like the world has moved on\, and it can feel isolating. We want to be in community with you. \nHere’s how it works: \nThis event is virtual\, free\, and open to everyone. That being said\, you don’t have to share if you don’t want to. You are still welcome to be in community with us. \nIf you DO want to share\, you can sign up on the virtual sign in sheet to reserve your spot. \n((BUT PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO REGISTER )) \nWe invite you to bring something that reminds you of someone you’ve lost. It can be whatever you want. \nShow us what you brought! An object\, an item of clothing\, a poem\, a book- anything! As long as it’s something that brings you comfort\, we would be honored to see it. \nTell us about the significance of the item and the person it reminds you of. \nAt the conclusion of our time together\, we will close out with a gratitude ceremony\, a bit of a Prism tradition. \nWe can’t wait to see what you bring!
