People who are mourning the loss of a loved one can find it challenging to process their emotions. Watching a movie that deals with themes of grief and loss can help them release some of the sadness and hurt. And discussing the movie with others can be a safe way to share their feelings. MOVIE TALK, A Support Group for Grieving Adults, is open to anyone in the community (ages 21+) looking to connect and receive support from others who also face adversity after the death of a loved one. This forum will assist participants in processing the pain of their grief, adjusting to a world without their person, and finding ways to form an enduring connection with their loved ones as they move forward with their lives. Groups will be held on Thursdays, biweekly, from June 30 through August 25, at 12 P.M. to 1 P.M., via Zoom. Drop-ins are welcomed. There is no cost to attend. Registration is required; email Darlene.Morris@ehospice.org or call 833-349-2054. Participants are expected to watch the movie on their own prior to the session. The selected movies are available on streaming platforms.

The Elizabeth Hospice’s grief support services are available to everyone in San Diego County and Southwest Riverside County, including families who do not have a patient affiliation with the organization.

Beauty Way Tour: A Transformative Music, Dance, and Healing Experience Multicultural musician, healer, and educator Poranguí will return to San Diego, CA on Thursday, June 16 at Music Box. He and co-facilitator Ashley Klein will create an intentionally curated container to experience the healing power of music and authentic expression. The Beauty Way Tour offers participants an evening of improvised world soul music, dance, and sound healing along with a unique opportunity to connect with themselves and their community, emerging transformed and more whole. The four-hour journey of rhythm, sound, and movement, commences with an opening ceremony and opportunity for the audience to activate their voice and sing together. Poranguí’s extended live music set will be complemented by Ashley’s vocal guidance and live visual projections creating an unforgettable journey through the beauty of the earth and the tapestry of life. The event concludes with an integration experience as we return to our greater community with the medicine of the night. The Beauty Way album and tour are inspired by Diné (Navajo) teachings from Poranguí & Ashley’s beloved Southwest. To walk in the Beauty Way is to live in balance and harmony with the unfolding of all life. Walking the Beauty Way together, we weave ourselves more deeply into the fabric of the earth, herself. Porangui’s forthcoming album, Beauty Way, will be released incrementally over the summer. Hózhóogo naasháa doo. May we all walk in beauty.
