What we’re about
A community-focused collective that loves to dive into topics which are often viewed as taboo - mostly about death, dying, grief and the lessons we can learn from these unavoidable experiences.
If you crave authentic connection and deep conversation, you're our kind of people! Pop into one of our free Death Network Collective discussion groups to see what we are all about and then follow your curiosity to one of our workshops or 'deep dive' events.

Many of those who work in the death care industry are drawn to holistic ways of grieving and healing, and we're excited to share the 'other side' of our death care team at this event:

She's passionate about providing personalized, compassionate care to the families she serves as a Funeral Director and Embalmer.

- Discover Your Death-Style & Create An End-of-Life Guide Binder - In PersonBravo Family Mortuary, San Diego, CA
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:
4:00 - 4:15 - Welcome & introductions.
4:15 - 4:30 - Topic talk - a short discussion about the 2 monthly topics and overview of the worksheets.
4:30 - 5:00 - Complete the end-of-life decision worksheets (provided) and add them to your binder.
5:00 - 5:30 - 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
