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!)

The Borrego Art Institute kicks off its 2024-2025 season Oct. 5 with “The Art of Flora and Fauna” showcasing our world’s astonishing plants, animals and elements. New and returning regional artists will present their work in a variety of mediums in the McQuown-Wermers Main Gallery. The North Gallery will feature “Starry Nights: Wildlife with a Twist,” paintings by Sarah Soward that merge the astronomy and mythology of the cosmos into wildlife paintings. Soward’s symbolic and surreal art centered on animals is an effort to elicit love and genuine concern for them. Artist Rinse de Konig’s show “Natural Impressions” will be spotlighted in the Alcove Gallery. His paintings of impressionistic scenes are “a world of color and peace,” featuring a composition that is uncomplicated but forceful through the choice of color and shape, where they become a story of their own.    The opening reception is Oct. 5 from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. The shows run through November 3. This event is part of the Borrego Springs ArtWalk. Visit: Borrego Art Institute Borrego Art Institute on Instagram and Facebook
