Join San Diego Botanic Garden in unity with friends and colleagues from around the globe for the Garden’s annual Survivor Tree Ceremony on Wednesday, August 6 at 11 a.m. Descended from a mother tree that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan 80 years ago, this special ginkgo tree was planted at San Diego Botanic Garden in 2023. The ceremony will feature opening remarks from Ari Novy, SDBG President and CEO, and a moment of silence at 11:15 a.m., the exact time the bomb was dropped. Attendees will also be invited to participate in a community wish-writing activity. This significant tree is a part of a years-long partnership with Green Legacy Hiroshima, a global initiative that distributes seeds and saplings from Hiroshima’s survivor trees to promote peace, remembrance, and resilience around the world.

Get ready to immerse yourself in the mesmerizing sounds of Chancha Via Circuito at El After Social Club! This event promises to be a night to remember. Argentine Pedro Canales, aka DJ/producer Chancha Via Circuito, is one of the pioneers of the digital cumbia genre: mashed-up, remixed dance-club reinterpretations of Afro-Colombian melodies and rhythms. Despite always having an ear to the dancefloor, Canale's beats are carefully placed within the richly textured sonic landscapes of exotic sounds collected in his travels across South America. Joining him are San Diego's own Cumbia Machin, blending electronic beats with the roots of traditional cumbia for a high-energy live performance, and Divina Jasso, whose soulful voice and genre-defying sound add a powerful and heartfelt layer to the night. Together, they create a dynamic lineup that celebrates the diversity and evolution of Latin American music. Bad Vibes Good Friends on Facebook / Instagram

Let’s face it - talking about death and dying is still a bit taboo in our culture. But how can you make informed decisions about end-of-life when clear, honest information is so hard to come by? That’s where we come in. Join our panel of end-of-life professionals for a laid-back Q&A session where no question is too basic, or too taboo. We’re here to bring transparency to death care - one real conversation at a time. Our panel of end-of-life experts, includes a licensed funeral director, crematory operator and embalmer, death doulas, death educators, and guides who are passionate about bringing transparency to the funeral profession. We show up with deep respect for our work and the sacredness of death, and we invite you to show up with your curiosity. Have you ever asked yourself? Can I be buried in my backyard? Can I ask a friend to put snacks in my casket before I'm buried? What will I look like a decade after I've been embalmed? What’s the difference between a green burial and a “traditional” burial? What exactly are those ashes in my auntie's urn? Is human composting really a thing and how does it work? This is your chance to get real answers from people who live this work every day. Join us for authentic conversation about the things no one talks about (but should). We will be meeting at South Park Yoga & Wellness and they kindly request that shoes are removed in the meeting space. Thanks so much!
