Join us for the NAMI SLO Walk — a community event to raise awareness, support mental health, and celebrate hope. All are welcome. Sponsors needed.

Five Cities Repair Cafe in partnership with iFixit is having their quarterly event where neighbors help neighbors fix your broken stuff and keep it out of the landfill. Toss it? No Way! Handy volunteers fix broken items for FREE.

We repair bikes, clothing & textiles, outdoor gear and apparel, jewelry, household appliances (like blenders, toasters, vacuums), furniture, laptops, tablets, phones, and more. If you know what replacement part is needed, bring it to speed things up (i.e. zipper, lamp cord).

Don't landfill it. Fix It! IWMA will have a booth with recycling tips and complimentary countertop compost bins. We also encourage you to bring your garden abundance to share with your neighbors. The Central Coast Bioneers Annual Conference is happening next door in the Barn.

Come play, explore, and connect with the natural world alongside the staff and friends of Wilderness Youth and enjoy hands-on activities and creative outdoor fun for the whole family including nature crafts, earth-based skills, and other interactive activities led by Wilderness Youth Project staff and other local community partners, like Yes Yes Nursery, who will be leading a seed planting activity.

Breaking Cycles, Building Community: Vanessa Morrow’s Debut Exhibition is a powerful collection of bold paintings and poetry exploring liberation, self-discovery, and breaking generational cycles. Each piece is paired with an original poem in a hand-designed brochure, guiding viewers through Morrow’s deeply personal journey.

“Break the Cycle is about acknowledging what no longer serves us and choosing the lifelong work of healing,” said Morrow. “I want people to feel seen in that process, to know they are not alone.”

Break the Cycle is showing now at MYLR Gallery through September 30th. Original works and limited-edition merchandise are available.
