Hey all, remember you can use this group to post offers and requests, as well as let us know of cool (preferably free) events you're involved in or hosting. In that vein, I wanted to let you all know that I'm mounting a solo retrospective art show that runs the next two weekends at the amazing MorYork gallery in Highland Park! Come check it out! Also, if anyone here has time this week to help me do some graphic design and/or social media promotion-- please DM me asap!

I'm coordinating an all-day Zoom space for folks to be with others and hold the U.S. election in the light, from 7am-8pm Pacific Time. It is Quaker-style Meeting for Worship, which is basically just silent meditation with permission to share a message or song if it rises in you. It is open to all, citizen, Quaker, or neither.
You can find the zoom link here:

Tomorrow is a third Saturday, y'all, so that means ... 9:00-10:00AM Silver Lake "Wilderness" Qigong (NOT pictured). (Freely offered, donations accepted. The wilderness has no address. For directions, email [email protected].)

What IS PICTURED is a series of photos from 2013's "Repair Yourself Cafe," when a bunch of Arroyo S.E.C.O Network of Time Banks and Transition Pasadena members took over the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena and provided samplings of so-called "complementary" and "alternative" healing practices, each in a separate, dedicated space. That's me, leading Qigong. Kris Ebbert, LAc had a station for acupuncture; Quynh Nguyen, mindfulness meditation; Nadine Le Gouguec, Reiki; Maya Gingery, yoga.

The deal is, also TOMORROW, there is the next bi-monthly
Repair Café Pasadena event, this time at the All Saints Episcopal Church, 132 N. Euclid Ave., Pasadena! There will be stations of repairers of all sorts, who will do their best to fix clothing, bicycles, appliances, computers, electronics, etc.; all for FREE. Additionally, they will have a Really, Really Free Market, where you can "shop" for lightly used clothing and items and pay really, really nothing. 10:00AM-1:00PM. I will go there after Qigong in Silver Lake.

Which place shall we meet?!

Come meet new members, reacquaint yourself with current ones and let’s keep building our community. We’re looking forward to having you at Bya Berger’s beautiful home and garden in Sierra Madre!
