JOURNEY THROUGH THE REDWOODS

JOURNEY THROUGH THE REDWOODS

Sat, May 30, 5:00 PM
From Iama Embodied Community
4.9

Tucked away in the Oakland Hills, this hidden gem is home to mostly second- and third-generation coastal redwoods, descendants of the ancient giants that once stood alongside the sacred California grizzly and soaring condors. Today, these trees stretch skyward, carrying that legacy forward. This will be an easy to moderate 3-mile journey, with approximately 350 feet of cumulative elevation gain. Along the way, we’ll encounter a variety of wild berries, from strawberries and huckleberries to the soft, velvety touch of thimbleberries and more. Michael will share practical knowledge on how to locate water in the landscape, and reading subtle signs from birds, trees, and leaves. You’ll also learn how to recognize when you’re nearing the ocean, guided by the presence of specific plant species. Elizabeth will offer insights into crows and ravens, marveling at their deep sense of community, reverence, and the way they invite us to see the world with curiosity and wonder. We’ll finish the journey with a relaxed tea gathering. Hot water will be provided; please bring your favorite tea and a snack to share. Exact Address: Stream Trail, Castro Valley CA 94552, United States

Pigeon First Aid & Companion Animal Care **Sunday\, June 14th \| 11am–2pm** Meet at the Powell Street BART Station, San Francisco Ever wanted to be a hero to pigeons and their animal neighbors—all in one afternoon? Join us for a hands-on day of compassion, learning, and real impact in the heart of SF. San Francisco’s pigeons often suffer from painful injuries caused by string, hair, and other debris tightly wrapped around their toes. These tiny hazards can lead to serious infections and even amputations. Together, we’ll gently rescue injured pigeons, remove the harmful materials, provide basic first aid, and release them safely back to their flocks. While we’re out on the streets, we’ll also be sharing food and toys for companion animals belonging to our unhoused neighbors—because care and kindness should extend to all animals, big and small. No experience necessary! We’ll provide all the training and supplies you’ll need. Just bring: Compassion Comfortable shoes A willingness to help animals who are often overlooked ARRIVE ON TIME! We’ll begin promptly at 11am with a brief about essential safety and training. If you arrive late, we will be out and about and hard to contact and find so please be on time.

Marin Brunch Club: Cultivar (Sausalito)

Marin Brunch Club: Cultivar (Sausalito)

Sun, Jun 14, 7:30 PM
From Marin Brunch Club

Six seats. Good wine. Even better conversation. Cultivar recently opened in Sausalito and it’s exactly the kind of place worth gathering around — intimate, inviting, and new enough that it still feels like a find. **What to expect:** A relaxed mid-day Sunday brunch with a group of people who enjoy good conversation. And if the mood strikes after, Sausalito’s downtown is fun to explore with local shops and waterfront views. **Who this is for:** You like exploring new places. You’d rather have one real conversation than five forgettable ones. You care about the atmosphere and even more about the people in it. We’re slowly building a small group of people who look forward to seeing each other. We’d love to see you there. **To reserve your spot:** All attendees will initially be placed on a **waitlist**. As this event has limited space, not all waitlisted guests will be moved to the **“Going”** list. Once you receive my direct message, you will be moved to the **“Going”** list only after your deposit* is received. *There is a $20 deposit to secure your spot. All deposits will be returned to you at brunch or if you cancel with more than 24 hrs notice. Why the hold? Small groups only work when everyone shows up. This keeps us accountable to each other from day one. Thank you for understanding!
