Join us for an afternoon of community, connection and curiosity as we explore our individual death-style and map out our end-of-life plans. What's a death-style? Just like we all have our own individual lifestyle, our death-style reflects our personal wishes for our end-of-life plans. From documenting your medical preferences to what you'd like to be wearing at your final farewell, each month we'll tackle 2 new topics in a safe, friendly setting. Within a few months you'll have a comprehensive guide for your individual end-of-life plans which can foster a personal sense of peace and create the space for your loved ones to grieve your loss rather than sort through paperwork, close accounts and try to guess what type of ceremony or celebration you would have liked. Let's face it, documenting our wishes isn't something that most people look forward to which is why gathering with like-minded people makes this unpleasant task much more appealing! Here's the workshop flow: 4 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. - Welcome & introductions. 4:15 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. - Topic talk - a short discussion about the 2 monthly topics and overview of the worksheets. 4:30 p.m. - 5 p.m. - Complete the end-of-life decision worksheets (provided) and add them to your binder. 5 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. - Group discussion. If you haven't been to a Death Network event before, we're a very friendly group of folks who are pretty passionate about lifting the taboo associated with talking about death. It's the one thing that unites us all, and gaining an understanding of death and dying can impact our daily lives in meaningful ways. Please BYO 3 ring binder - we'll provide the worksheets. Worksheets will also be available in digital format for those who would like to create an electronic binder. Questions? email hello@dodeathdifferent.com Hosted by Penny Waugh, founder of The Death Network www.thedeathnetwork.com and Bravo Family Mortuary (wait until you see this beautiful funeral home!)

Learn to sculpt with clay in this 8-week series! Sundays, January 5, 12, 19, 26, February 2, 9, 16 & March 2, from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. The art of pottery is more than just a skill; it’s an opportunity to express our feelings and thoughts through art. Our deep connection with soil and clay fills our lives with beauty and wonder. Each piece we create tells a story about ourselves and our time. Learning how to create pottery reminds us that art is not just about making things beautiful; it’s a way to communicate with the world. This 8-week course teaches us that every piece we make is an opportunity to discover and create within ourselves. Sculptures made of clay have been created since prehistoric times and are still a form of artistic expression today. Artists and artisans around the world practice this art and create human and animal sculptures, geometric objects and shapes, and even create large works of art that tell a story. Sculpture, with a history that goes back centuries, has had a constant presence in the art and culture of different societies. In this 8-class series, students learn to make simple forms and finally proceed to make handmade structures in the shape of plants, animals, and humans. It’s a creative experience that starts from nothing and turns into something meaningful! This course covers the following topics: history of figurative pottery; materials and tools; practical exercises; designing and creating initial forms; creating abstract and organic shapes; understanding the structure of animal bodies and designing facial and body expressions; understanding the structure of human faces and bodies and designing facial and body expressions; and techniques for drying, painting, glazing, and firing clay. All materials included. Beginners welcome.
