Grief & Healing with Writing & Music: a YG2D Workshop Offering

About The Artists: Ned Buskirk & Chelsea Coleman
YG2D is a 501(c)3 nonprofit bringing diverse communities creatively into the conversation of grief, heartbreak, death and dying, inspiring life by unabashedly sourcing our shared mortality. We have an active hospice program sending musicians to patients’ bedsides, monthly sell-out live events and workshops facilitating creatively conscious mortality space for community, enlivening open mics for men inside the prison system, cancer patient workshops at UCSF for healing through creative writing and an organizational branch offering safe space for Black and Indigenous community, reparation-funded by non-Black/non-Indigenous contributions.
