Entanglements

Falling into Winter

by

Another round of seasonal and cultural shifts is upon us. Here, on the west coast, we are fortunate to be able to immerse ourselves in environments of positive cultural expression where generosity of spirit is realized and celebrated. We hope that you, likewise, find much creative generosity in your own communities, and are able to experience it openly and with joy.

Here are our two current happenings:
