SUMMARY:Dyeing before Dying: A Return To Indigenous Wisdom on Death
DESCRIPTION:In summer 2025\, I was in Benin and went to my paternal grandmother’s grave\, visiting it for the first time since she died some years ago. Her grave is not just a stone in the ground of a cemetery\, but a room within her family’s house\, a place where life continues to unfold with death resting beneath us. With my brother\, my aunt and my grand mothers’s siblings\, we settled in the room\, removed the dust\, sat\, chatted and performed rituals and prayers for her soul to continue resting in peace and wisdom. There\, in the presence of her spirit\, we shared foods and drinks that are specially made for death rituals\, we laughed and told stories about her and us\, not only beautiful ones\, but also painful ones. \nThe room and the entire family compound filled with memory\, with sound and silence\, with the feeling that she was still among us. We stayed the whole afternoon until dusk. The light dimmed; the air thickened with memory\, and I felt how thin the line between life and death truly is. How in our ways\, death is never separate from life but part of its ongoing rhythm. It was there\, sitting in that room together with everyone\, repeating the same ritualistic gestures\, being in silence and patient\, that I remembered that dying \, like dyeing is a slow process\, a transformation\, a return. \nIt is from this experience that the workshop Dyeing before Dying: A Return to Indigenous Wisdom on Death was born. An invitation to sit with death\, not as an abstract or frightening idea\, but as a teacher\, a companion; and a mirror. \nIn this weekend workshop\, we will explore what it means to prepare for death while we are still living: To reflect\, to make peace\, to organise\, to imagine our departure\, and to reconnect with the ancestral and Indigenous ways that hold death as a continuation of life. We will then begin thinking and writing our own Death Journal\, a gentle space to gather our reflections\, memories\, unfinished conversations\, and visions for what we wish to leave behind. \nTo dye is to steep. To soak. To sit with something long enough for it to leave a mark. It is a slow\, deliberate act. It transforms what is plain into something layered\, stained\, changed. \nI borrow this image of dyeing to speak about the process of preparing for dying. \nIn many Indigenous worldviews death is not the end. \nIt is a return. A passage. A continuation. \nThis workshop is an invitation to reconnect with those ways of knowing and to reflect on: \n• What kind of death do I long for? \n• What needs to be closed\, spoken\, or reconciled? \n• What rituals do I want to accompany my departure? \n• How do I imagine my afterlife\, not only in spirit\, but in memory\, in legacy\, in land? \nWe will sit with these questions as a slow dye bath allowing them to seep in\, mark us\, and guide the way we live and prepare to leave.

SUMMARY:Death Over Drafts - San Diego CA
DESCRIPTION:Death Over Drafts: A Social Gathering on Life\, Death & Everything In Between 💀🍻\nAt The Death Network\, you know we’re passionate about lifting the taboo around talking about death. Over the past year\, we’ve loved connecting with so many of you at our Death Cafes and discussion groups across San Diego. This time\, we’re excited to switch things up with a more casual gathering – an evening to mix\, mingle\, and share a drink with folks who appreciate some good\, honest conversation about death and dying. Grab a drink\, and come hang out with us for an evening of community\, curiosity\, and conversation – served with a side of good beer. \nDeath Over Drafts is a laid-back night out where good drinks meet real talk. It’s a chance to connect with like-minded folks who aren’t afraid to go deep – chatting about life\, loss\, and everything in between. And\, we’ll have The Death Deck on hand in case you’re up for a few thought-provoking (and surprisingly fun) rounds of this thought provoking game. \nThis month\, we’re teaming up with Savannah\, owner of Orchid Cremations\, a modern cremation provider—for a night that’s equal parts meaningful and laid-back. Savannah is a licensed funeral director\, embalmer\, and crematory operator\, and she’ll be joining us as a special guest. If you’ve ever had questions about the funeral profession\, she’s the perfect person to ask! \nWe will be gathering on the patio at Novo\, drinks (beer\, cider\, kombucha\, NA options) and food available for purchase. Participation is always optional\, and everyone is welcome in our all-inclusive community. Drop in anytime between 5:00 and 8:00\, we’d love to see you!\nPenny\, Selena\, Tara\, Kara & Savannah\n@thedeathnetwork \nPS\n💫 We will also be celebrating 3 birthdays within our collective The Death Network’s very own Penny & Kara\, along with Savannah from Orchid Cremations\, all celebrate their birthdays in August… and you better believe we’re leaning into that bold Leo energy. 🦁Let’s raise a glass to these trailblazing Leos who are helping us all do death a little differently!

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.
