You're Going to Die: Poetry, Prose & Everything Goes... 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.

You're Going to Die Presents: JEWISH GRIEF IN COMMUNITY
You're Going to Die Presents:
JEWISH GRIEF IN COMMUNITY
facilitated by Noa Yammer & Miriam Bolender
Many Jewish people are grieving right now.
Grief for the lives lost.
Grief for the violence committed in our name.
Grief for our ruptured communities and relationships.
Grief for silence, shame, and all that’s been too tender to name.
This 5-week online group is a space for Jewish-identifying folks to gather and grieve—
through words, stillness, sound, and voice.
To tend to our hearts and our humanness.
To be witnessed.
To speak what’s been unspoken.
To feel what’s been pushed down.
& to find new ground together.
WHEN: Mondays, August 18th-September 15th
from 5:30-7:00PM PACIFIC TIME
LOCATION: ZOOM
PRICE: Sliding Scale $350-650 (Scholarships available!)
We offer the workshop on a sliding scale, but ask about further financial support if you need it to attend!
FOR MORE DETAILS and TO REGISTER E-MAIL: connect@yg2d.com
In order to preserve the uniquely intimate & personalized nature of this offering, space for this event will be limited, & registration is required to attend. We have space for up to 15 Jewish-identifying participants.
This series is a space for Jewish grief. It is not a space for debate or dogma, but for presence, feeling, and witnessing.
We come together as Jews, across lines of belief and experience, to be with the grief in our bodies: grief for what’s happening now, for what has been, and for what’s being lost—individually and collectively.
This is not a course in ideology or politics. It’s a space to be with the grief that so many of us are carrying as Jewish people right now.
Your facilitators are available to discuss this offering in more depth so that you can get a better understanding of what to expect from this offering.
About your facilitators:
Noa Yammer (she/her) is a facilitator, musician, and solidarity activist who holds spaces for deep listening, truth-telling, and collective healing. Originally from a Modern Orthodox Jewish community in New Jersey, she spent two decades in Jerusalem, working at the intersections of justice activism, storytelling, and Jewish-Palestinian solidarity.
A Harvard-trained educator and leadership coach, Noa specializes in using storytelling and nonviolent communication as a tool for connection, transformation, and social change. Whether working with individuals, teams, or communities, Noa fosters environments where silenced voices can speak, and where grief, complexity, and humanity are held with care.
Her personal journey—from silence to voice—shapes her belief that grief can be both a portal and a practice: one that softens us toward one another and reconnects us with what matters most. This softening not only nurtures our connection to ourselves and our truths, but also opens pathways for us to take courageous steps towards collective liberation and justice.
Miriam Bolender (she/her) is a musician, vocal liberation guide, and grief-holder who facilitates transformative spaces. For the better part of the last decade, she’s been an integral part of You’re Going To Die—directing and participating in the Songs For Life hospice music program, offering her presence and music in Alive Inside, YG2D’s prison program, and performing at live events.
A third-generation Holocaust survivor, Miriam carries the complex imprints of that lineage. She’s committed to cultivating and maintaining an ever-expanding lens—one where the nuance and complexity of life are honored in all their dynamic, layered, and often contradictory truths. This inner work continues to shape her devotion to creating spaces where grief, rage, fear, and confusion can be held, explored, and metabolized with courage and care.
Miriam’s own journey—from someone who spent most of her life afraid to sing, to a performer who has sung for thousands—gives her a deep understanding of what it means to reclaim the voice. As a seasoned mentor, she blends somatic practice, foundational technique, and playful exploration to support people in untethering their voices from shame and limitation. Her work—whether at a hospice bedside, inside a prison, or in a circle of people reclaiming their voices—is rooted in the prayer that feeling our hearts, remembering our interconnection, and tending to our shared humanity are essential parts of building a more loving, just, and peaceful world.

You're Going to Die Presents: Writing about Grief with Literary Craft
You're Going to Die Presents:
Writing about Grief with Literary Craft
Focusing on turning tragedy into beauty
A Five-Week Writing Workshop
With Nick Jaina and Chelsea Coleman
Mondays August 18th through Sept 22nd
(with a break for Labor Day)
7:00 - 8:45 pm PT on Zoom
FOR MORE DETAILS and TO REGISTER E-MAIL: : connect@yg2d.com
Join us as we write about grief with an eye towards the experience of the reader. You’re Going to Die has for years led supportive workshops with a unique space for people to express grief in writing.
There are two main goals in writing: to express yourself and to tell a compelling story. Those aren’t mutually exclusive things. There is a way that both of those qualities can be at their highest at the same time.
—————————-
YG2D member and Oregon Book Award finalist Nick Jaina has published three books. For almost a decade he has taught memoir writing workshops online and in person, exploring dozens of different tools and techniques to open up and create the best story possible from our own lives. He is excited to bring those ideas to the emotionally supportive environment of the YG2D workshop.
Chelsea Coleman is an SF Bay Area singer-songwriter and the Creative Director & Cofounder of YG2D, where she has been helping create and hold space for others to creatively express themselves through the touchpoint of our shared impermanence since 2012. As a singer-songwriter and storyteller she leads by example, by alchemizing her experiences of loss and complex grief into lyrics and melodies that resonate with others and meet them in their vulnerability with a sense of belonging and inspiration.

You’re Going to Die presents: Losing My Religion is an open mic for grieving religious & spiritual communities, healing from extremism, and navigating the complex intersections of connection, belonging, belief and identity.
Whether you extracted yourself or you were exiled from a religious/spiritual community or belief system, the grief for what and who you left behind deserves attention, recognition and care. This evening we will be making space for each other to share about the grief and trauma of leaving behind a community, restructuring our identities, finding a new sense of direction and purpose, and moving through anger. This is also a place for honoring the aspects of these communities that you miss, ways that you may have felt belonging, nurturance, spiritual connection, and maybe even spiritual authority. Together we can also explore the ways that bond building and cultivation of healthy community might be harder to navigate after experiencing the harm of exclusionary and exploitative group structures.
Though we will be making space for any form of community-related grief (not just religious/spiritual communities), we do want to extend a special invitation for folks who spent some amount of their lives immersed in high-control and/or high-demand groups.
The intention for this night is not to bash religion or to match the level of judgmentalism that many of us faced both within and outside of these groups, BUT that being said, there is plenty of room here for anger and humor, and we won’t be asking anyone to censor themselves to make other people comfortable, as we know many of you spent too many years doing that. We will also absolutely be making room for the tenderness of the grief—maybe even the deep desire for the kind of belonging we felt in these groups—that may be harder to access now, and gratitude for any parts of your experience that you want to honor and celebrate: your strength, your resilience, your connective heart, your discernment, all of it is welcome.
About your hosts:
Chelsea and Destiny were both raised in fundamentalist, evangelical charismatic Christian communities. Chelsea in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Destiny in Nashville, Tennessee, BOTH of which (I am finding out just now) claim the title of being the “Buckle of the Bible Belt” lol. They both led worship bands and spoke in tongues, prophesied and devoted themselves deeply to their beliefs and their communities and then they both left and found each other in the city of heathens, San Francisco, at an event called You’re Going to Die.
Format:
This evening is an open mic with musical performances woven throughout from Chelsea and Destiny. Come prepared or unprepared! We invite all kinds of shares, from poetry, prose and song, to spontaneous storytelling. You can share on topic or off topic! We won’t tell you what to do!! You’ve likely experienced enough of that! The only rule is that you have to limit your share to 5 minutes! We will stop you!
You don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers.
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.

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.

Paired with our LA Climate Week show, we present a SPECIAL open mic event in SF, CENTERED ON THE TOPIC OF EARTH. Like usual, our open mic format serves as an opening to whatever you're carrying, whatever you long to be witnessed in. We invite you to attend, listen and share your stories and perspectives.
With large topics that affect so many people, it is common for folks to want to shrink from being the center of their own experience of a topic as big and weighty as THE ENTIRE PLANET, and focus on communal concern - concern for others, concern for future generations, etc. And while this collective concern & grief is SO REAL and very much welcome in this space, we're also inviting you to take up space ON STAGE expressing yourself about how the precarity of our planetary existence affects YOU. We're not trying to attain some kind of fairness equilibrium here! This applies to grief in general, but especially to global concerns: someone always has it worse, and someone always has it better! This show is for everyone. Whether you lost your house in a fire or your childhood home in a hurricane, or you are anxious about things that haven't happened yet, or you're inspired and hopeful and want to celebrate the good things, or you want some space to RAGE about the preventable devastation that is is not being prevented, etc, this show is for you. If you are alive right now, you have every right to take up space talking about your grief and fear, hope and anxiety, resilience and anger related to our planet's trajectory!
Just like mortality itself... no one is exempt! There is no one who doesn't belong in this conversation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!
You are invited to bring the full spectrum of your humanness, be it through poetry, prose, music, improvised storytelling,dancing, comedy, drama, happy, sad, & on & on & on… It's up to you! We don't have the answers!
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! There will be a piano and an acoustic guitar available on stage for you.
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.
Your Planet is going to die. No. Really. It is.
