Community Calendar

The intention of this small group gathering is to provide support for expectant and postpartum parents/caregivers in nurturing their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. We’ll create a safe and supportive space where attendees can connect, reflect, and grow through their shared and lived experience of pregnancy into parenthood.
Our intended audience includes pregnant individuals, new parents/caregivers, and those navigating the transition into parenthood up to one year, with a focus on accessible, inclusive, and facilitated peer support. Refreshments & light snacks will be provided. Older children up to about age three are welcome and care will be provided in the Children’s Garden.
Held in the natural setting of the Children’s Garden at the SLO Botanical Garden, this event will offer guest speakers, guided journaling, peer support, and facilitated discussions, all rooted in evidence-based care and holistic wellness.

This group will meet once per week on Thursdays, from 10 until 11:30 am – from April 10 until May 15, for a six-week session.

The Office of Collecting and Design, an interactive museum of “lost” and “forgotten” objects, is taking its beloved collection on the road! The museum is often described as a “nostalgia machine,” transporting visitors into a world of delight, curiosity, and half-buried memories. The previous brick and mortar space has been transformed into a 42’ traveling museum, where visitors can open every drawer, explore every box, and engage in hands-on experiences like the Flatlay Session or Scavenger Hunt.

This San Luis Obispo journey kicks off at The Bunker on Tuesday April 29th and closes on May 3rd. Along the way, the museum will be collaborating with incredible local businesses and creative spaces to offer a truly one-of-a-kind experience at every destination.

We're coming in HOT with the funny on May 1st at Bang the Drum Brewery.

As always, CCCT improvisers will be making it all up, making you laugh, and making it a great reason to come see us perform.

Join the UCSB Library and the Edible Campus Program for a peaceful afternoon of literature, nature, and reflection in the garden. In celebration of the 2025 UCSB Reads selection, The Book of Delights by Ross Gay, we invite you to immerse yourself in the beauty of St. Michael’s Community Garden while enjoying a communal reading of select passages from the book.
Inspired by Gay’s practice of noticing and appreciating small joys, participants will have the opportunity to craft their own personal “delight” entries, reflecting on moments of gratitude, connection, and wonder. Whether you come to listen, write, or simply enjoy the garden’s tranquility, we welcome you to slow down and savor the delights of the present.
RSVP in advance.
