Do Death Different… it’s our favorite thing to say at The Death Network!

What does it mean? For us, it means crafting an end of life that authentically reflects the life you lived. The way we say goodbye to our own bodies is important, how we thank our human vessel for carrying us through life matters.

if you don’t want be boxed (pun intended 😉) into the common options that are served up through most funeral homes, we can help!

Out for a walk and I encounter this rainbow of Bougainvillea - and it inspires me to really think about what I want to do with my body after death. How do I want to thank my human vessel and honor it in an authentic way? I’m leaning green or sea burial- what about you?

Grief isn’t just about death.

It shows up in the relationships that ended without closure.
The paths we didn’t choose.
The versions of life we thought we’d be living by now.

Grief has a long memory… and it doesn’t always ask for permission to surface.

Alongside therapy, there’s something powerful about slowing down and actually listening to your body. Grief lives there. And when we give it space, it can begin to soften, shift, and integrate.

That’s why we’re creating more space for it in community. Join us at South Park Yoga & Wellness:
✨ New Monthly Grief Circle - every 3rd Saturday 4:30-6 pm
✨ Weekly Yoga for Grief - every Thursday 5:45-7 pm

And as a reminder that grief belongs in the open, not hidden away…

Join us for Grief in Public Day
🗓 April 26
📍 South Park (28th & Ash)
⏰ 2–4 PM

Stop by anytime between 2-4. Share a story. Leave a note of remembrance. Join our grief discussion circle 💕

Because whether we talk about it or not… we are all carrying something.

At The Death Network, we hold a simple belief: we are all grieving something. Whether it’s the loss of a person, a pet, a relationship, a job, or a version of life we once imagined - grief can show up wherever there has been love or change.

Here’s the thing, grief isn’t something we’re meant to carry alone… but most of us do.

For Grief in Public Day, we’re opening up a simple, welcoming space to change that!

Come by anytime between 2–4 pm. Stay for five minutes or the whole time.

Bring a photo or keepsake if you’d like. Share a story, or don’t. Sit quietly, connect, or just be around other humans who get it without needing an explanation.

We’ll have a grief tree for notes of remembrance, and an open conversation circle if you feel like going a bit deeper.

This isn’t therapy. It’s just real life - grief included 💕

You don’t have to have the “right” words. You don’t even have to talk.
Hosted by .lea.waugh .griefguide and

Just come as you are.
We hope to see you there! 🌳

Launching your own Death Doula practice can raise a lot of questions! At The Death Network collective, we all experienced that ourselves, which is why we come together in community the second Monday every month to unpack those questions.
We talk about things like do you need to build your own website? How do you price your services? Should you be collaborating with other doulas in your area? How do you get clients? We welcome all the questions! 💕

Online Zoom RSVP Link in Bio
6:00 pm pst $5
Every 2nd Monday

We all have our ‘gifts’ ✨
But these two might need to stick to doula work as creating social media content seems to be a challenge 🤣

Nice try .endoflifedoula and .lea.waugh we appreciate the effort LOL 😂

🍻 Death Over Drafts is a laid-back night out where good drinks meet real talk. It’s a chance to connect with like-minded people who aren’t afraid to go deep - chatting about life, loss, and everything in between.

This month, we’re teaming up with our friends at Autonomy Health Dr. Donnie and Christa will be on hand to chat about medical aid in dying (MAiD) and how this legal option is allowing people to make end of life decisions with knowledge and agency.

Bring your curiosity and your questions, grab a drink and join the conversation!

At The Death Network, you know we’re passionate about lifting the taboo around talking about death. Over the past year, we’ve loved connecting with so many of you at our Death Cafes and discussion groups across San Diego. This time, we’re excited to switch things up with a more casual gathering - an evening to mix, mingle, and share a drink with others who appreciate some good, honest conversation about death and dying. Grab a drink, and come hang out with us for an evening of community, curiosity, and conversation - served with a side of good beer.

Grief touches every part of us, yet no two experiences of it are the same. Like a fingerprint, it is entirely our own.

Finding ways to move with grief, rather than against it, often means exploring what helps us express, process, and integrate loss into our lives.

Join us for an intimate and interactive workshop with author Laing Rikkers whose own grief journey began with the death of her sister. In the aftermath, she found an unexpected companion in creative writing, eventually leading to her book Morning Leaves. Through her story, Laing will share how poetry and time in nature became a pathway for navigating life after loss, offering moments of clarity, connection, and even beauty.

Together, we’ll explore how creativity can serve as a gentle outlet for grief. This experience includes guided discussion, quiet time in nature to reflect and notice what arises, and an opportunity to engage in your own writing or creative expression. We’ll close by gathering in community to share reflections on the experience of slowing down, turning inward, and tapping into creativity as a tool for grief. Sharing is always optional.

We’ll provide blank notebooks, pens, and markers, or you’re welcome to bring your own journal.

This is not about doing it “right.” It’s about discovering what feels true for you.

Join us May 3 1-2:30pm - RSVP Link in bio or Meet Up/The Death Network. We hope to see you there 💕
