This 5-session communal workshop is for community who want to make room for, & meaning out of, grief & loss, offering a chance to creatively express ourselves & engage with our own [& collective] grief through writing, with original music from Chelsea peppered throughout our sessions to inspire & hold us. It's a chance to find connection, remember we’re not alone, and tap into our innate wisdom to creatively face our unique experiences of being mortal.

Each week we will gather to work with various writing prompts together. We will have time to write and time to share our writing during the sessions. Although there are no writing requirements outside of the live sessions, we encourage you to write or journal throughout the week, and we want you to know that we are available in the in between times if you need extra care throughout this series.

We want to honor this precious small group of fellow grievers by committing to attend each session for the duration of the series, though we understand it might not always be possible. We ask that you only register if you expect to be able to attend most of the sessions.

In order to preserve the uniquely intimate & personalized nature of this offering, space for this event will be limited, & registration is required to attend.

Join us for a public virtual event centered on deep grief amidst the ongoing trauma and courageous community efforts in Minnesota.

If our experience doing grief work inside prisons has taught us anything, it’s that we don’t need to wait until we are through the storm to take a moment in community to honor our grief and begin the shared work of healing. Even as ongoing vigilance, endurance and strength rooted in community may be necessary for some time; we want to carve out a space for honoring what has already been lost, whether that is your sense of safety and stability for yourself and your neighbors, or for a person in your community who has been detained, injured, killed or is in hiding. You are welcome to join whether you are in the twin cities or watching events unfold from afar. This is a space to let your community hold the pain and grief with you, while also celebrating and uplifting the resilience, hope and sacrifice so many Minnesotans are showing up for every day. 

As facilitators we take your security very seriously, and it’s for that reason we need to be very clear about the limitations of security measures in a public virtual space. Though our moderators will make every effort to remove anyone causing disruption, there is still a possibility of silent participants who don’t have the best interest of the people of Minnesota in mind who might be attempting to gather data. We do not state this to cause undue worry, and we trust you to assess your own security needs, and participate accordingly. If you feel you need to join under a pseudonym or with your camera off, we understand and will be grateful for your presence.

This is a space for sharing your grief and heartbreak, and not a space for discussing sensitive information. We ask that you take great care to not share anything that could put another person at risk. We believe that truth and vulnerability are powerful ways to show up in our communities, helping each other feel more seen, more understood, and more woven into the web of resilience.

We will be facilitating an open sharing & listening space, supported by music and poetry from the facilitators throughout the gathering. Attendees will be invited to sign up and share what’s on their heart for approximately 4 minutes each. You do not need to share if you don’t want to. The listening is just as important as the sharing.

Please join us tonight from 8-10pm CST 

Online: ZOOM LINK [No email address needed to join. We recommend using first name only, or an alternate name if you have security concerns]

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:
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: Tuesdays, August 16th - Sept 9th, Plus Monday 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

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

PRICE: Sliding Scale $250-$400 (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.
