Children have an especially difficult time processing the death of a family member, friend or another significant person in their life. While we cannot protect children from the pain they are experiencing, we can help them feel supported and teach them healthy coping skills. The Elizabeth Hospice is offering a FREE six-week series of workshops for children and teens. The program is open to all community members, ages 7 to 17. Sessions will be held on Tuesdays, June 28 through August 2, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m., via Zoom. Space is limited and attendees are required to register by June 22 at James.McLaughlin@ehospice.org or by calling 833-349-2054. “Children and teens will participate in art, music and other age-appropriate grief-related activities that will help them gain a better understanding of their own grief and loss,” said Kathlyne Barnum, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Clinical Counseling Program Supervisor with The Elizabeth Hospice. “Over the six sessions, the themes of anger, unfairness, growth and compassion will be explored. These workshops are designed to help kids reduce their feelings of isolation by connecting with others who are experiencing a similar loss.” The Elizabeth Hospice’s grief support services are available to everyone in San Diego County and Southwest Riverside County, including families who do not have a patient affiliation with the organization. Counseling services are available for individuals, couples, families and children.

From San Diego weekend arts events (KPBS feature): Friday night, catch a screening of Marvel's 2018 movie "Black Panther" at The Shell, with the San Diego Symphony performing Ludwig Göransson’s incredible score live. Featured in the performance is the Senegal-based musician Massamba Diop, who performs on the "talking drum," or dùndún, which was used in the soundtrack to underscore the actions of T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman). Diop himself can be heard in the actual soundtrack, and will be joining the San Diego Symphony for this performance. The instrument, generally a hourglass, tension drum with a head on each side, is known as the talking drum for a reason: it truly can mimic the speech patterns of the Yorùbá language and is used by Yorùbá drummers to share poetry, prayers or announcements. Here's a segment about Massamba Diop from WBUR's Here & Now program from 2018. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the organizers: Anthony Parnther, conductor Massamba Diop, talking drum soloist San Diego Symphony Orchestra In 2018 Marvel Studios’ Black Panther quickly became a global sensation and cultural phenomenon, showing a new dimension of what Super Hero films could be. Rolling Stone raved, “The film lights up the screen with a full-throttle blast of action and fun. That’s to be expected. But what sneaks up and floors you is the film’s racial conscience and profound, astonishing beauty.” Now you can relive the excitement of T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) becoming king and battling Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) all while the San Diego Symphony Orchestra performs Ludwig Göransson’s Oscar®-winning score live to picture.

This weekend in the arts: Hill Street Country Club, Red Brontosaurus Records, a world premiere concert, experimental percussion and a globe-trotting dance film
