    Dead Parents Club

    Losing a parent changes you. It’s weird, it’s heavy, it’s lonely. Dead Parents Club is a grief circle for anyone navigating life after the loss of a parent (or parents). This is a space where the whole of you and your grief are welcome, however it shows up. We begin with a short grounding to connect with your body and breath, and then the circle is open. The rest of the 90 minutes are yours: to share, to listen, to cry, to sit in silence. Whatever you need. There’s no pressure to speak, and no need to perform your grief […]

    Support for our Grieving Community – Guided Discussion & Educational Workshop

    South Park Yoga & Wellness 2985 Beech St., San Diego, CA, United States

    Grief isn’t only something we experience after a death. We grieve relationships, careers, dreams, and a changing sense of safety, and many of us are also grieving the state of the world itself. These everyday griefs are often unspoken, yet they shape how we navigate life and care for one another. Many of us are wondering how to stay engaged with what’s happening in the world while also caring for our own mental and emotional well-being. This 90-minute interactive, donation-based grief workshop explores grief as a life skill - one that helps us adapt to unwanted change, understand what we […]

    If I Die This Year: A Workshop for Living with Clarity, Courage, and Care

    Not a bucket list. An honest pause. What would matter if you believed you might die this year? Most of us live as if time is endless—and quietly feel the cost of that assumption. If I Die This Year is a guided workshop for people who want to live more honestly, meaningfully, and aligned with what matters most—without waiting for a crisis to force the question. You don’t need to believe you’ll die this year. You only need to be willing to ask: If I did… how would I want to live until then? Through reflection, gentle guidance, and optional […]
