How Clutter Clearing Heals: A workshop for people who feel the burden of clutter weighing them down.
Have you wanted to clear your clutter for months now but haven’t made any progress?
You’re not alone, many people struggle with this.
What I’ve found in my work is that when people have emotional support and practical guidance they can break through what feels impossible and they make progress decluttering.&nbsp;
I understand that decluttering does not come easily to everyone.&nbsp;
Sometimes challenging life circumstances pile up and now you may find yourself in the overwhelming situation of having a disorganized and cluttered home that feels impossible to remedy. Once the clutter avalanche grows to a certain level it can be very difficult to climb out of it alone.
Clutter’s effect on our lives is not neutral. Clutter causes chronic stress and chronic stress causes and exacerbates chronic health problems. Clutter eats away at our time, energy, inner peace and potential for joy. It turns our home from an oasis into one of our primary sources of stress and overwhelm.
Decluttering can be a healing and transformative process when approached with gentleness and compassion.&nbsp;
This workshop might be a good fit if you:
*Have the desire to declutter but haven’t made progress because you feel overwhelmed and don't know where to begin.
*Recently moved, still haven’t fully unpacked and your stuff doesn’t fit in your space.
*Inherited someone else's clutter and are drowning in an avalanche of things that never belonged to you.
*Are ready to let your spouse’s things go but don’t know how to do it in a way that honors their memory.
*Have ADHD and find you need gentle, patient and compassionate instructions and emotional support to stay focussed to get tasks done.
*Are healing from a chronic illness and want to do all you can to feel well again.&nbsp;
*Want direction and emotional support as you downsize for the next phase of your life.
*Are highly sensitive and crave having a sanctuary that helps you deeply relax and be yourself.
*Care about the earth so much that you get paralyzed about where your unwanted things will end up.

Join movement facilitator and DJ Chelsea Biklen for this monthly dance ceremony. We will open our space with a circle and grounding to connect and explore our dance theme. The evening will continue into a lightly guided dance journey called Dancing Freedom, which follows a 5-stage arc through the 5 ayurvedic elements. Dancing Freedom is a somatic and shamanic practice of liberation rooted in ceremony. As we dance with the elements we re-awaken and remember our connection to these elements, within and without, and to all that is. This practice welcomes all ages, sizes, colors, and creeds. You cannot do it wrong! When we come together to move as our ancestors did, we create a deep space of shared practice, transformation, and community. Dancing Freedom reminds us of who we really are. Come and move with us, you cannot do it wrong!

Dr. White has always had a diverse interest in the practice of medicine and has sought out complimentary approaches. He has significant experience in the ER use of Ketamine and is an expert on its uses in the emergency setting. As the use for Ketamine in the treatment of resistant depression and anxiety has become more widely known and studied, Dr. White took some additional training in its use for this purpose under the tutelage of Ketamine pioneer and psychiatrist Dr. Phil Wolffson. Its practical purposes have become increasingly clear, that it can be extremely beneficial in decluttering a disorganized mind allowing the issue at hand to be identified and clarity to be restored. It is further felt that there is a group wisdom present when journeying in a small group that aids in the process of enlightenment.

<h3>An Evening of Kirtan</h3>
With Dayākar Dās and Living Devotion $25, with low income tickets available and no one turned away for lack of funds
ABOUT THE MUSIC OF YOGA
Kirtan is a spiritual service with five parts that is found in the path of Bhakti Yoga. One of the parts is the chanting of Sanskrit healing and empowerment mantras and the singing of devotional songs called bhajans. Kirtan is a musically guided meditation practice. Practicing this yoga calms the mind, relaxes the body and energizes the Spirit. Reciting mantra with a devotional attitude, especially the singing of bhajans, has a calming effect on the brain, quieting the mind so that we can experience the opening of our hearts, allowing us to taste the blissful reality that is our true nature.
Come dive into the depths of your own heart in this safe, supportive environment. No previous yoga, meditation or singing experience is necessary to participate. 
Practice is led by Dayākar Dās who is a Certified Ashtanga Yoga Teacher and practitioner of 32 years, who has been teaching meditation and leading kirtan for over two decades.

Looking to free up some space? You’ve come to the right place. Within modern times we have been accustomed to sitting in chairs, at desks working, or in many situations that aren’t conducive for proper posture or optimal function in our bodies. Lots of people are struggling with issues in their back, neck, shoulders, and wrists and don’t have effective options to combat this. In this workshop, we will work deeply with the fascia throughout the upper body and more. Fascia is the connective tissue that holds the bones, ligaments, muscles, organs, and just about everything else down to the cellular level. We will move, twist, and breathe, all of which will impact the entire body to release tension and open up. To help us integrate, we will complete the session with a 15 minute Reiki-infused gong bath that will support your body in the entire process of regeneration and expansion. Fascial Maneuvers is a powerful up-and-coming modality developed by Human Garage that allows the body to heal itself by utilizing unique postures, breath, and movement. This process frees up restrictions in the body, allows for better mobility, and helps break through blockages. With a clear intention, these techniques work on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level, bringing balance, harmony, and empowerment to the human experience. You will leave feeling more expanded, like a weight has lifted off your shoulders so you can head back into life with a greater sense of ease.

A gong-centered sound experience (sound bath style) inviting rest, listening, and integration. The session begins with gentle instruments — harmonium, crystal bowls, flute and handpan, to help the body arrive and relax. As the experience deepens, the gongs become the primary voice, filling the space with rich, layered tones. Silence then gentle instruments support an easy return at the end. Some people come simply to rest and unwind. Others notice patterns softening, or gain clarity about what they are ready to release or move toward. There is no right way to receive the experience. No experience is required. You lie down, get comfortable, and allow the gongs to meet you where you are. Adron Beene is a gong player, classically trained musician, and Viniyoga RYT 500 teacher based in Royal Oaks California. He lives on a small, oak forested sheep farm, where the rhythms of land and animals quietly shape his approach to sound.

UCSC Arts &amp; Ecology Festival 
On Earth Day, UC Santa Cruz launches the inaugural Arts &amp; Ecology Festival: Creative Resistance, a campus-wide gathering that refuses to treat climate change as a problem of carbon alone. Instead, it brings together artists, scientists, students, and community partners to engage the deeper conditions of the crisis, and to open space for cultural, political, and imaginative transformations grounded in repair, reciprocity, and collective futures. 
 
Taking place at the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC), the festival unfolds as a full day of exhibitions, film screenings, performances, workshops, talks, and public engagement. Developed through an open call that drew an overwhelming response across disciplines, the program reflects a growing field of practitioners working across environmental research, land-based knowledge, climate resistance, and practices of repair that move beyond dominant institutional and economic frameworks.

There is a natural intelligence moving through all living things — a subtle life force that restores balance, regulates the nervous system, and supports the body’s innate capacity to heal.
Reiki is one way of learning to work with that living energy. Reiki is often translated as Universal Life Energy — the vitality that flows through and connects all life. Reiki is simple, intuitive, and calming. Many people experience it as a return to coherence — a settling of the body and mind into their natural rhythm.
In this hands-on Reiki 1 training, you will learn how to connect with this gentle healing energy and begin working with it for yourself and others.
During this training you will receive your Level 1 Reiki attunements, opening the energetic channels that allow Reiki to flow through your hands. Once received, this connection remains with you for life.
 This training is appropriate for anyone who feels called to explore healing work, deepen their intuition, or cultivate a supportive practice for their own wellbeing. No previous experience is necessary.
Many people take Reiki 1 simply to support their own healing and nervous system regulation. Others go on to integrate Reiki into their professional work as therapists, bodyworkers, yoga teachers, educators, caregivers, or community healers.
Trista Mallory Glazowski is a Reiki Master in the Usui lineage and the founder of Zabet Glows, a Santa Cruz–based practice devoted to flower essence support, energy and sound healing.
Her path into energy healing began after the death of her grandmother, which sparked a deeper curiosity about healing, presence, and the subtle ways we support one another through life’s transitions.
She received her Reiki 1 training in 2016 and Reiki 2 in 2017 at Maha Rose in Brooklyn, New York. In 2018, shortly after the birth of her first daughter, she completed her Reiki Master training, guided by her sister — a Reiki Master, Interfaith Minister, and Nurse.
Today Trista shares Reiki through both private sessions and trainings, emphasizing grounding, energetic awareness, and helping people reconnect with their intuition and their body’s innate capacity for balance and coherence.

Hot Composting Workshop and Raffle
April 25th, 2026 10:00am-12:00pm. Pre-registration required, space is limited!
*Location TBD, within City of Santa Cruz
Have you been curious about hot composting? Maybe you have tried before but need a refresher. No matter your experience, join the City of Santa Cruz Waste Reduction Staff for a workshop all about hot composting! In this workshop, we will build a compost pile together, discuss best practices for maintaining a bin, and look at strategies for reducing wasted food and why it matters. Plus, enter our raffle to be eligible to win composting accessories!
Finished compost created from a backyard composting system offers a hefty dose of healthy microorganisms and other benefits for your garden and soil. Caring for a compost pile gives you gold for your garden and can contribute to a sense of well-being.
If you already have a composting system that could use some attention, feel free to sign up and bring your questions and photos! We will have time to discuss and learn from each other as a group. The City offers a compost rebate program to get a bin of your own too. Hope to see you there!
