You're Going to Die Presents:
Grief & Healing
w/Writing & Music
a YG2D Workshop

REGISTER NOW: https://bit.ly/47u3kdp

This 3 hour in-person communal workshop offers a chance to creatively express ourselves and engage with our own and our collective grief & healing through writing and music. It’s a chance to connect to community, remember we are not alone, and tap into our innate wisdom to creatively face our unique experiences of being mortal.

In this workshop, we’ll write in response to several prompts, in intimate community, co-creating a space of deep sharing and listening. There will be readings and rituals offered, with time to write quietly together and to share if you want to, including live music to inspire our writing, for grounding, deepening, integration, and to hold us like musical medicine when we need it. The workshop will close with a sound bath from Emma Peck (https://www.soundandsoulsf.com/) to support integration through the healing vibrations of crystal alchemy bowls and vocals.

Our goal is to facilitate a safe space for vulnerable creative communal engagement with our grief, with those who are willing to face what's hard and hold it together.

WHEN: Thursday, November 30th from 7-10pm PST
LOCATION: The Center SF’s Red Room - 548 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA 94117
PRICE: Sliding Scale $40-120

We offer the workshop on a sliding scale, but ask about further financial support if you need it to attend!
***Full scholarships available for our BIPOC community***

COVID SAFETY INFORMATION (YG2D POLICIES)

As an organization that congregates around our shared mortality, it is important for us to acknowledge the real threat of Covid-19, especially for folks who are immune-compromised. For our shared safety, we are offering the following risk-mitigation measures and venue information to create a safer, more inclusive gathering space:

• Capacity of the Red Room is 40 seated, but we will have a workshop capacity of 17 to allow for spaciousness and distancing as needed.

• The space will have air filters and there will be windows to open to maximize air flow.

• We request that each participant take a rapid antigen test on the same day of the workshop. We can provide a test for you if needed. Here is an updated guide for self-administering a rapid-test for the most accurate results: https://www.ontariohealth.ca/sites/ontariohealth/files/2022-02/COVID-19RapidAntigenTests-HowtoCollectaSample.pdf

• We request that participants be as up to date as possible with available COVID vaccines and boosters.

• We ask that if you feel any illness symptoms to please stay home. We are happy to provide a refund as needed.

• We encourage masks while in the space. Please be aware that The Center has multiple shared spaces with varying degrees of risk and that people/participants may not be wearing masks.

We understand that no in-person gathering is without risk and we are grateful for your help in keeping our community alive and safe.
