SUMMARY:Childfree By Choice & Grieving
DESCRIPTION:It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%\, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice\, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate\, depressing\, and/or systemic reasons\, and I created this space where we can be with our truths\, and hurts\, around it all. \nOur monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to be a child-loss support group or infertility support group\, although if you have prior experience with infertility and/or pregnancy loss and have since decided to not have children (meaning you are now childfree by choice) feel free to join and see if it’s a good fit.

SUMMARY:"It's Complicated" Support Group
DESCRIPTION:A monthly peer-led Zoom group for people who had a strained relationship with someone who’s died. It can be tough to be in a group with other folks who were close with their parent\, sibling\, grandparent\, partner\, co-parent\, friend\, etc. As much as I like for there to be a range of experiences represented in grief groups\, so that we can hear diverse perspectives\, sometimes it is nice to be with people who “get it.” When addiction\, mental health challenges\, conflict\, estrangement\, abuse\, etc. were a part of the picture\, it can affect the grief journey in unique ways. This is a space for us.

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:NHFA Webinar - Sacred Connections: Designing Home Funerals as Ritual Acts
DESCRIPTION:What if death wasn’t an ending—but a sacred transition woven with ritual\, love\, and ancestral wisdom? \nJoin us for a transformative community deathcare webinar where we’ll explore how to create meaningful home funerals rooted in ancestral wisdom\, natural magick\, and spiritual direction! This session will explore the importance of including hands-on elements like ritual washing\, altar building\, storytelling circles\, as well as incorporating continuing bonds in memorial rituals. \nA practicing witch and Pagan for over 40 years\, Silent is an end-of-life doula trained through INELDA and a Spiritual Director at Cherry Hill Seminary. He provides deep listening\, reflective questions\, and integrative practices like journaling and meditation\, enabling others to uncover clarity on their spiritual paths without relying on prescribed answers. From vigil planning and psychopomp rituals to ancestor remembrances and legacy creation\, Silent helps others walk the sacred passage with wisdom\, ritual\, and heart.

SUMMARY:Fear of Death
DESCRIPTION:Thanatophobia is the fear of death. It can involve fear of the dying process (often a fear of pain or discomfort)\, fear of the afterlife (or lack thereof)\, fear of being forgotten\, fear that life is meaningless\, and fear of missing out! This month we will be talking about our fears around our own deaths\, how we manage them\, and how we don’t! \nQueer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death\, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space\, with the purpose of building connection\, skill\, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities. \nQueer Death Salon takes place over Zoom\, in English\, with Automatic Closed Captioning

SUMMARY:Drinks over Death
DESCRIPTION:Drinks over Death is a FREE community event where all are welcome to talk about death\, dying\, and end-of-life. \nAs a society\, we’re kind of rusty talking about the thing we all have in common (we ALL will die someday).\nOften\, we don’t always know where to go.\nOr who is willing to explore topics related to death and dying with us. It’s for that reason that the Cleveland Death Society exists: so that we can take strides at practicing\, normalizing\, and exploring Death together. \nSo come curious\, lean in\, and meet others in your community looking to have meaningful conversations on topics that impact our eventual death. Show up solo\, bring a friend\, your significant other\, neighbor or family member. It’s a time to hear what others are thinking about and to share perspectives. We’ll start with an icebreaker question and see where that conversation takes us! \nOur goal is for death workers and the community to come together. To build stronger support systems and resources\, one may need them when the time comes. \nHonor your past loved ones. Talk about death with like-minded folks. Play a death game or just come for the atmosphere\, \nDid we mention it’s free? Oh\, and afterwards. Stick around for the B-SIDES KARAOKE!

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!

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:Childfree By Choice & Grieving
DESCRIPTION:It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%\, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice\, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate\, depressing\, and/or systemic reasons\, and I created this space where we can be with our truths\, and hurts\, around it all. \nOur monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to be a child-loss support group or infertility support group\, although if you have prior experience with infertility and/or pregnancy loss and have since decided to not have children (meaning you are now childfree by choice) feel free to join and see if it’s a good fit.

SUMMARY:"It's Complicated" Support Group
DESCRIPTION:A monthly peer-led Zoom group for people who had a strained relationship with someone who’s died. It can be tough to be in a group with other folks who were close with their parent\, sibling\, grandparent\, partner\, co-parent\, friend\, etc. As much as I like for there to be a range of experiences represented in grief groups\, so that we can hear diverse perspectives\, sometimes it is nice to be with people who “get it.” When addiction\, mental health challenges\, conflict\, estrangement\, abuse\, etc. were a part of the picture\, it can affect the grief journey in unique ways. This is a space for us.

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: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:Sand Bay Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Excited to announce the Sand Bay Death Cafe Summer Series\, the first Wednesday of the month in June\, July and August\, 6-8pm at the Cosy Cafe on Beach Road. Join us for drinks\, cake and an exploration of what it means to live in the light of our mortality. \nYes\, the topic of death can feel heavy\, even a little taboo. But opening up and talking about the things that scare us can often bring us peace and direction in ways we may never have expected. Many find that talking about death eases the fear and mystery of it. \nDeath Cafes happen in towns and cities around the world\, creating space for genuine\, unhurried discussion about our mortality…a topic that touches all our lives\, yet rarely finds its way into everyday conversation. \nThis isn’t a grief support group or educational seminar. Instead\, we offer a comfortable space where people from all walks of life can share their thoughts about death and dying\, ask questions\, gain new perspectives and reflect on what makes life meaningful. \nHow it works: Conversation prompts will be available\, but there will be no formal direction. Discussions take place with strangers in small groups over a drink and cake…it’s very relaxed and you can add to the conversation or just listen. \nBe brave and join us! Come to one\, or all three sessions. The venue is accessible\, all welcome.

SUMMARY:Tour Our Lady of Almudena Cemetery (East Cemetery of Madrid)
DESCRIPTION:From @entretumbas (IG)\, in collaboration with Experimenta Madrid\, we organize these guided tours of the Almudena Cemetery\, whose real name is the Necropolis of the East of Madrid.

SUMMARY:Ready To Die? – A Comedy Show About End-of-Life Planning
DESCRIPTION:Writer & comedian Alison Zeidman is only in her 30s\, but already she has one Emmy nomination\, one Writer’s Guild Award\, and not just one but TWO dead parents. Impressive! \nAlison’s dad died due to complications stemming from Multiple Myeloma in 2014 when he was just 55\, and her mom was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at age 58. Frankly\, looking at that family history\, she does not like her odds for longevity — she needs to start getting her affairs in order\, and so do you. In READY TO DIE?\, Alison will walk you through all the basics of end-of-life planning that you can (and should!) do in advance for yourself and your loved ones\, from pre-planning a funeral to choosing who gets the power to pull the plug. By the end of this show\, you’ll go from “Ready to die?”\, question mark to “Ready to die!!!”\, enthusiastic triple exclamation point! \nAlison Zeidman (writer/performer) is an Emmy-nominated and WGA Award winning writer and comedian who got her start doing stand-up in Philadelphia and NYC. Her comedy is frequently described as “smart\,” but maybe it’s just the glasses. Alison has written for Archer\, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (Supervising Writer) and Adam Ruins Everything (Head Writer & Co-Executive Producer)\, and her humor writing and essays have appeared in the New York Times and The Daily Beast. \nRyan Cunningham (director) is a queer writer/director and Emmy & Peabody award-winning producer in film\, television\, and theater. Directing credits: Samantha Bee presents Wits End (NYCF\, SXSW)\, Alan Cumming’s Club Cumming Presents a Queer Comedy Extravaganza! (Showtime)\, Ilana Glazer: The Planet is Burning (Amazon)\, Expecting Amy (HBO Max) TV producing credits: Broad City (Comedy Central)\, Search Party (TBS/HBO Max)\, Inside Amy Schumer (Comedy Central)\, The Last O.G. (TBS)\, and Ziwe (Showtime).
