Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) is a legal end-of-life option in California for eligible terminally ill patients, yet many people have questions about what it is, how it works, and how it’s accessed. Join us for an open, educational conversation about Medical Aid in Dying with Donald Moore MD of Autonomy Health. We'll unpack what MAiD is, how it works, and how access is navigated. This workshop offers transparent, accurate information in a calm, respectful space, whether you’re planning ahead for yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply wanting to understand this important end-of-life option. Together, we’ll discuss eligibility for terminally ill patients, how MAiD works, the role of medical providers, and how the medication is obtained. There will be time for questions, reflection, and thoughtful dialogue. This is an educational event, not a support group, and all are welcome. P.S. We meet in the yurt at Sweetwater Zen Center which is towards the back of the property. The Death Network: Website / Instagram

Friday, February 21 Join us for the 44th Annual Tribute to the Reggae Legends in San Diego, California. The 2025 event will span two days. Friday will feature a sound system night where “Virgin Islands Meets Jamaica,” and Saturday will be a full day celebrating Roots Reggae Legends. After 25 years at the San Diego Sports Arena, the festival moved to the Broadway Pier in downtown San Diego. Later, it returned to its roots at the WorldBeat Cultural Center with the Exodus festival. Reggae has always held a special place at the WorldBeat Center. Its director, Makeda Dread Cheatom, hosted Reggae Makossa on 91X FM for 25 years alongside her partner Damaja Le. Together, they organized many club nights, boat cruises, and the annual Bob Marley Day festival in San Diego. As reggae legends began to pass on, the event was renamed Tribute to the Reggae Legends. Reggae music carries a powerful message of unity, peace, and awareness of social inequities. The WorldBeat Center remains dedicated to preserving the legacy and message of reggae legends like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22 Tribute to the Reggae Legends, also known as Bob Marley Day honors the rich legacy of reggae music. Founded by Prophet World Beat Productions in honor of Bob Marley’s legacy, the event began as a small gathering and eventually grew to fill the San Diego Sports Arena, thanks to a partnership with Moss Jacobs.
