A Peaceful End of Life: Understanding VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking). A free online education by the Hemlock Society! What if you reached a point where living no longer reflected your values, but you did not qualify for Medical Aid in Dying? Many people are surprised to learn there is another legal end of life option called Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED). VSED is a deeply personal decision in which a mentally capable person chooses to stop eating and drinking in order to allow a natural death. While the decision belongs entirely to the individual, proper planning, medical oversight, hospice involvement, and compassionate support help make the experience as peaceful and comfortable as possible. Join the Hemlock Society of San Diego for an informative discussion exploring the medical, practical, emotional, and family aspects of VSED. Whether you are planning ahead, supporting someone with a serious illness, or simply want to understand all of your legal end of life options, this program offers thoughtful education in a respectful and compassionate environment. Meet Our Speakers Laura Carroll Laura will share the personal story of supporting her 86 year old father as he chose VSED. Working together with his physician, hospice team, and concierge nursing support, her family helped honor his wishes while creating a peaceful and meaningful final chapter. Dr. Brian Graham Medical Director, TopKare Hospice Dr. Graham will explain the medical considerations, hospice support, symptom management, and clinical care involved throughout the VSED process. Nicole Soares Founder, EcoLove Transitions Licensed Funeral Director End of Life Strategist Death Doula Religious Science Practitioner Nicole partners with patients, families, physicians, and hospice teams to guide individuals through advance care planning, VSED, Medical Aid in Dying, and other end of life choices.

Theater for Young Professionals opens the musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" this Friday 8/21 at 7 p.m. This hilarious show runs from August 21-September 13 and you may purchase tickets here https://our.show/spellingbee2026 or on our website at www.typsandiego.org. We are located at 7960 University Ave, Suite 250, La Mesa, CA 91942. We hope you will join us! An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" is a delightful den of comedic genius. It is a fast-paced crowd pleaser and an instant theatre patron favorite. Theater for Young Professionals on Facebook / Instagram

What happens when something quiet interrupts the ordinary? "Quiet Interruption" invites artists to consider the subtle moments that shift our attention—a pause, a shadow, a small disturbance, an unexpected encounter, or something almost overlooked. We are seeking artwork that creates a moment of reflection, curiosity, discovery, or surprise. The work may be intimate or monumental, permanent or temporary, material or ephemeral. We welcome approaches that engage with space, light, sound, movement, nature, memory, absence, or the everyday. Rather than demanding attention, "Quiet Interruption" asks: What if art could gently interrupt the way we see, hear, move through, or experience a place?
