*VIRTUAL* Death Café
2022-03-01 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | https://www.missionhospice.org/event/virtual-death-cafe-23-2021-10-05/2022-03-01/
At a Death Café, anyone can participate! We gather in a virtual environment, to openly and tenderly talk about death and dying. The conversation is facilitated and is a completely open and safe space to share your experiences, feelings, thoughts, and ideas on any topic related to death and dying. There is no set agenda. This is a discussion group, not a grief support group, although many people share about the loss of loved ones. So bring a cup of tea and join us on Zoom in this supportive and welcoming environment.
Participation is free, but registration is required.

*VIRTUAL* Workshop: The Many Griefs of COVID
2022-03-14 17:30 - 19:30 | https://www.missionhospice.org/event/virtual-workshop-the-many-griefs-of-covid/
Due to COVID, our losses are vast: loved ones and our lives with them, face-to-face connection, how we live and work and go to school. The list drags on. With the pandemic as a lens, we will lightly touch our felt sense of these griefs. We can harvest useful skills from this to support those whose griefs concern us even as we better understand and care for our own losses.

Each act will be given up to five minutes to perform – no professional experience required. To guarantee a spot, sign up in advance by filling out this Google Form after registration. Spectators welcome!
Grab a hot or cold drink of your choice and gather ‘round for performances of art, poetry, prose, and music.
