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.

*Joey Coe is the singer and songwriter of the Oakland-based indie-rock band Mount Saint Elias, a project praised by American Songwriter and featured on NPR for its expansive, genre-bending blend of folk storytelling and art-pop experimentation. Born in Kentucky, Coe’s songwriting draws deeply from the folk traditions he grew up with, exploring friendship, love, loss, mental health, and the strange humor of being alive. Much of his work—both solo and with MSE—wrestles with loss, memory, and the questions that linger in the wake of tragedy. His solo performances are intimate and unguarded, highlighting the heavily literate lyricism and raw vocal approach that define his style, landing somewhere between a Bon Iver resonance, a Noah Kahan hook, and a Mark Twain side-eye. - https://www.mountsaintelias.com/

You're Going to Die Presents:
Writing About Grief w/Literary Craft
Focusing on turning tragedy into beauty

A Five-Week Writing Workshop
With Nick Jaina and Chelsea Coleman
Mondays November 17th through December 15th
7:00 - 8:45 pm PT on Zoom

PRICE: $300 (some discounts and scholarships available)

FOR MORE DETAILS and TO REGISTER HERE!

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: A Wild Love for the World: An Evening Honoring Joanna Macy @ Swedish American Hall - San Francisco!!!
Swedish American Hall
2174 Market St.
San Francisco, CA 94114
Doors at 6:30pm.
Show at 7:30pm.

TICKETS HERE: https://www.ticketweb.com/event/a-wild-love-for-the-swedish-american-hall-tickets/14612513

Join us for a moving evening of performance, ritual, and collective experience honoring the life and legacy of Joanna Macy — visionary teacher, ecophilosopher, and founder of The Work That Reconnects, who passed into the mystery on July 19th, leaving behind a rich legacy including decades of dedicated work to help us metabolize our planetary grief and source from a wild love for the world. 

Drawing on Joanna Macy’s Council of All Beings practice, this event invites us to expand our perspective beyond the human and reconnect with the wider community of life. Through creative expression — music, poetry, and participatory ritual — we’ll give voice to the Earth’s many beings and hear their counsel for these times, joining in a shared act of listening, mourning, celebration, and imagination.

Guided by Weaving Earth’s spirit of Interspecies Hospitality & Earth Intimacy practices, we’ll weave story, song and interactive experience as we move through the Spiral of the Work that Reconnects: 

- Gratitude for the Miracle of Life

- Honoring Our Pain for the World

- Homecoming to the Body of Earth

- Going Forth in Service to Life

Co-hosted by Lydia Violet and Lauren Dalberth Hage. Featuring special guests Drew Dellinger, Karisha Longaker of MaMuse, Logan Navar, Jules Indelicato, Kele Nitoto, and KJ Song, and the Weaving Earth team. 

Audio of Joanna Macy’s own voice will be interwoven throughout the evening, a living thread calling us to remember: even in times of great peril, the beauty and wonder of the Earth endure — and so does our capacity to respond with love.

Come as you are.

Seating is first come, first served.

Lydia Violet Harutoonian- is an Iranian-Armenian-American facilitator-scholar, grief-worker, and folk multi-instrumentalist who studied and worked with Joanna Macy for the past 16 years. She founded and runs The School for The Great Turning, which creates access to educational and therapeutic programs to empower humanity's life-sustaining legacy. In her music, she weaves together her songwriting, folk standards, Iranian ballads, 3-part harmonies, fiddle, banjo, and collective singing into an altar of music to lay our most pressing questions and verdant prayers.

Weaving Earth Center for Relational Education provides nature-based education for action at the confluence of ecological, social and personal systems change. We believe that education must critically engage inherited systems of separation and domination, and at the same time, responsibly recollect a deeper human inheritance: stories of interrelationship, belonging, dignity and respect.

The author of "Love Letter to the Milky Way," his poetry has been performed in hundreds of venues worldwide.

Karisha Longaker is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist best known as one half of the beloved duo MaMuse. With rich harmonies and heart-centered presence, her music invites deep connection, joy, and remembrance of the sacredness of life. Rooted in gratitude and service, Karisha’s voice carries a prayer for beauty, healing, and belonging in these transformative times.

Kele Nitoto (he/him) is a percussionist, vocalist, and educator based in Oakland. With roots in West African, Haitian, and Congolese rhythms, he blends traditional drumming with hip-hop, storytelling, and spiritual practice. He founded Oakland Hand Drums and performs with groups like Wildchoir, using music as a tool for connection, healing, and cultural remembrance.

Jules Indelicato (they/them) is a musician and sound designer based in San Francisco, CA. In addition to being a familiar face in the Bay Area music scene, Jules is an empathic grassroots community organizer who is deeply committed to driving positive change by advocating for the people and places working to make our communities more inclusive, equitable, and magical.

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:
a Weekly Community Grief Release

Online Grieving Space
for Witnessing & Being Witnessed
w/the You're Going to Die Community

EVERY WEDNESDAY
from 5-6pm [PACIFIC]
JOIN HERE: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81830467656?pwd=sSHMSyJp63ZrTevY9bX2GgTwp61Ogw.1

Please take a few minutes to read our GRIEF RELEASE COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS before you join.

This space is for everyone who might feel supported by gathering in community once a week to make space for ongoing and/or new grief in our lives. We often offer music and readings and time for each participant to share. The length of shares may depend on who's in attendance each week - and there may be times when we make extra room for those who especially need our listening, remembering that our listening is its own medicine, not just for who we listen to, but for ourselves.

Please arrive on time. This is essential to the depth of the container we are able to hold together. We will close entry 10 minutes after the start of the event.  

Though it is okay to join and not share, so much of what is possible in these spaces is based on trust, so if you are willing to introduce yourself and be on camera, that can go a long way to creating the kind of safety we know is possible in this space.This is especially helpful for drop-in offerings like this one. 

This online event is FREE, every week. If you are in a position to offer a small donation, we very much welcome your generosity. Your contributions help us continue this offering.

We’re honored to be contributing to Becoming Sanktuaree: Inhabiting and Being Inhabited by Ecologies of Care, a beautiful and brave practice-based offering from @unashay + @the_emergence_network.

This is for the grief-tenders, the artists of repair, the edgewalkers, the refuge-makers.
For those dreaming new ways of being in a world unraveling.

𖦦 October 2 – November 16, 2025
• 4 live online sessions
• Optional 3-day in-person sanctuary at the mystical Dar al-Islam in Abiquiú, NM
• Practice, connection, listening, and care

If you’re longing for true sanctuary — not as escape, but as presence — come with us.
I’ll be a guest-host alongside Chelsea Coleman for one of the sessions, offering learnings and practices from our own lives and journeys and we would be honored to meet you inside this space.

🜁 Learn more + register: https://unashayhome.com/becoming-sanktuaree

In a time where loneliness has become an epidemic, and unmet grief resides below and between so much of the world's preventable suffering⎯ we long to inhabit sanctuary in its myriad of forms. This October and November, únashay and our partners from ten (The Emergence Network) invite you to join us, for:

Becoming Sanktuaree: Inhabiting and Being Inhabited by Ecologies of Care, an online and in-person experiential practice space.

Throughout Becoming Sanktuaree, we will offer community-held space(s) of encounter, inquiry, and creation; inviting participants into practice and dialogue, while cultivating our capacities to listen, be present with what is, build relationship, and play with what pulses below, between and around our bodies. 

Guest-hosts from around the world will join us, not as ‘experts’ or even ‘teachers’ (although learning is inevitable), but ordinary humans, courting us… at the hem of an always unfolding miracle.

*Nick Jaina is a musician and author originally from Sacramento who has lived in Portland, New York, and New Orleans. He was an Oregon Book Award finalist in 2015 for his memoir Get It While You Can. His writing has appeared in Atlantic Monthly, McSweeney's Quarterly and the journal Oregon Humanities. He co-founded and was music director for a ballet company in New York City called Satellite that involved dancers from Juilliard and the New York City Ballet and performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, garnering praise from The New York Times. He has composed scores for feature films and documentaries, including All Sorts, Cement Suitcase, and Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire.

His new album The Monster Mash is a collection of powerfully intimate songs, most featuring just electric guitar and vocals, matching the aesthetic of his live show.

Motel Void writes, "The Monster Mash is personal, filled with vivid imagery that many listeners will recognize in their own lives. At its core, the album celebrates not fitting neatly into categories. It’s a moving work for anyone who has ever felt slightly out of step with the mainstream – and found meaning in that difference."
