Upcoming Events
Regular Meetings
Our meeting schedule will be the 3rd Sunday of every month at 11am unless it conflicts with a holiday*. Go to Join the Conversation to get in contact with us.
Next Meeting: June 22nd*, 2025 at 11am in Vallejo
We have a very large list of workshops and events that we are planning. Everything from survival skills, to budgeting money to save, to gardening, to safe gun handling. Events will include community building such as potluck dinners and community canning days, and sharing such as plant and seed swaps, food swaps, and clothing swaps.
We will also include calls to action for the community to show up for council and commission meetings, protests, and community cleanup days.
Our goal is to provide workshops and events for free or very little shared cost to cover supplies, teacher fees, and/or facility costs.
