On Oct. 12 In Real Life (IRL) Movie Club will be screening "MY OMAHA" at the UltraStar Mission Valley Cinema in San Diego. The documentary, which will be screened at dozens of independent theaters across the United States on the same night, tells the story of filmmaker Nick Beaulieu's personal journey to document and reconcile with his terminally ill father, a staunch pro-Trump supporter. IRL Movie Club is a national, non-profit organization on a mission to strengthen democracy through the power of shared experience and dialogue. By design, the organization is low tech, grass roots, and community driven. Instead of a traditional Q&A after the show, members are encouraged to say hello to their seatmates, stick around to chat about the film, and spill out into their local neighborhoods for coffee, dinner, and connection.To make it as accessible as possible, the organization also subsidizes tickets and only charges $5 per person. Membership to the club is free.

Our Bodies Are Designed to Return to the Earth Join our Zoom to learn what a Conservation Cemetery is… permanently protected natural land where burials restore habitat. We'll take a deep dive into how a conservation cemetery differs from modern burial practices, and how it compares to green burial. Here in California, we’re a community that thrives outdoors! From beaches to deserts to mountains, yet when it comes to our final rest, our options are far removed from the natural rhythms that reflect our lifestyle. Modern burial practices - concrete vaults, metal caskets, and toxic embalming chemicals - lock our bodies away from the very process we were designed for: to decompose naturally and nourish the earth. Instead of restoring the land, these practices harm it. It doesn’t have to be this way. A Conservation Cemetery is more than green burial. It’s a way of restoring land, protecting wildlife, and ensuring our final act on earth is one of renewal, not depletion. Join us for this community gathering to: Learn how conservation cemeteries differ from standard and green cemeteries. Explore how our end-of-life choices can heal the planet. Be part of the growing movement urging California lawmakers to cut the red tape and make these options available here at home. Let's be honest... there isn't a lot of transparency within our current funeral industry, we want to change that! Join us for real conversation about our common burial practices and gain an understanding about how harmful they are not only to our bodies, but to the planet - and learn about greener options that may impact your end-of-life decision making. Questions? hello@dodeathdifferent.com Instagram @thedeathnetwork Website www.TheDeathNetwork.com We can't wait to see you!
