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!

The Athenaeum's outdoor movie series, Flicks on the Bricks, invites you to enjoy classic movies on our patio during beautiful summer nights. In August, KPBS film critic, arts reporter, and "Cinema Junkie" podcast host Beth Accomando returns to host the 19th annual Flicks on the Bricks series. This year, she has chosen four timeless comedies celebrating witty women. Laughter is always a good thing, and movies have a gift for making us laugh. This summer let’s laugh with some of the brightest, wittiest, most glamorous women of the silver screen. The powerful actresses we see now owe a great debt to some of the women who came before them and blazed a trail. Mae West was 40—the age many actresses found themselves being retired from the screen—when she made her first movie, plus she wrote her own material. Norma Shearer ruled as Queen of MGM for decades, while Carole Lombard and Jean Arthur came to define the effervescent energy of screwball comedies. Join us in celebrating the legacy of these stellar women with a quartet of delightful films. Series tickets for the open-air theater include four memorable films: "She Done Him Wrong" (1933), "My Man Godfrey" (1936), "Private Lives" (1931), and "Easy Living" (1937). Popcorn is included with your ticket. Beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available for purchase. Plus, enjoy weekly trivia and prizes throughout the series. Join the Athenaeum for its 19th year of hot summer fun! Athenaeum Music & Arts Library on Facebook / Instagram
