Join the tribe of free thinkers, truth seekers, warriors and lovers… all are welcome in this temple.

Join Yoga Church Mondays at the Santa Cruz Veteran’s Hall (a lovely space downtown across the street from Verve Coffee on Front St, next to the post office).

These classes will have most of the same elements of Hannah’s beloved Monday night former Live DJ Bhakti Flow class, integrating a HUGE DOSE of LOVE along with skillfully sequenced alignment-based flows, myth, mantra, amazing music and more – PLUS some sweet changes we are STOKED to share with you:

1. COMMUNITY YOGA for ALL: these classes are intended to be accessible + inclusive to anyone who seeks to open their heart, body & mind; not just those who can afford it. Self-care is a radical act: as we learn to love + take care of ourselves, we extend that love + support to others more abundantly, and it ripples out into our communities. So in the interest of community love and support, we offer to you every Monday night:

// sliding scale prices: $10 – $20

// veterans are free

// no one turned away for lack of funds

We seek to serve the entire community, anyone and everyone willing to show up and be present: underserved populations, young and old, rich and poor, all walks of life. Those of you can afford to pay $15 or more will not only be offering yourself the gift of a replenishing practice, but you will personally be making it possible for us to serve the greater whole. We welcome everyone. We welcome YOU.

2. beautiful TEMPLE SPACE: we are in love with this gorgeous room with tree-lined windows, wood floors, high ceilings, an amazing sound system – and so much high vibes! (Same room where we are thrilled to host the ROOTS training this year too.) There is also easy parking: a low-cost parking garage at Front St/River St, or bike, walk, hula hoop your way to this central location.

3. TIME: 5:30-7 pm allows you to practice after a full day of work/play, plus still have time for dinner and downtime after. (I’m hoping some weeks we can have community dinners together after class – since we will be downtown near so much amazing local food!)

4. YOGA CHURCH: it’s a new paradigm ya’ll – this is independent yoga for free thinkers, truth seekers, warriors and lovers. Atheists, agnostics, religious devotees, mystics and spiritual seekers alike are all welcome to this church – so don’t let the name throw you off. The name came when I posed the question last year to a blissful post-Monday night class of yogis: “if you could name what we do here, what would you call it?” Many wonderful ideas flowed from this creative group, and nearly all of them used words like “church”, “temple” or “ceremony” – citing that just calling these Monday night experiences “yoga” was not enough. Although it’s all yoga, I get their point – we live in a world where people are calling various things/styles/methods/brands yoga, so it’s helpful to be descriptive. And as you all pointed out, the incredible energy and transformation we co-create on these Monday nights should be honored with a name that honors the magic, the community, the reverence, the heart of these sacred gatherings…

Welcome to Yoga Church.

Narcotics Anonymous is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We are recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean. This is a program of complete abstinence from all drugs. There is only one requirement for membership, the desire to stop using. We suggest that you keep an open mind and give yourself a break. Our program is a set of principles written so simply that we can follow them in our daily lives. The most important thing about them is that they work.

There are no strings attached to NA. We are not affiliated with any other organizations. We have no initiation fees or dues, no pledges to sign, no promises to make to anyone. We are not connected with any political, religious, or law enforcement groups, and are under no surveillance at any time. Anyone may join us, regardless of age, race, sexual identity, creed, religion, or lack of religion. We are not interested in what or how much you used or who your connections were, what you have done in the past, how much or how little you have, but only in what you want to do about your problem and how we can help.

The newcomer is the most important person at any meeting because we can only keep what we have by giving it away. We have learned from our group experience that those who keep coming to our meetings regularly stay clean.

Asari ft. Kat Factor (Jazz – Folk – Soul- Indie – Electronic – R&B)
https://www.asarimusic.com/
Asari is a Hip Hop/Jazz collective from Santa Cruz, California formed in 2018 featuring Ravi Lamb on Guitar, Shahya Khodadadio on Bass, Andrew Hawes on Drums and Will Henry Dias on Keys. The group often features vocalists and other instrumentalists.

“With influences such as Robert Glasper, Hiatus Kaiyote, and J Dilla, Asari have a kind of cool duality best played on a summer afternoon under a warm orange sherbet sun, or as the soundtrack that revamps the piano bar into something fresh, something elevated, something hip. Their music brings a lo-fi aesthetic to a live setting that is headnodic and confident in its soup of hip hop and jazz. With the versatility to swoon the room– where the lavish ornaments allow for the spaces in conversation– or bring a raucous to the dance floor, Asari’s music has breadth and their impassioned approach to it all is a pleasure to sink into.” – Galdino “Nano” Guijosa

Why is there a recall?
Less than six months after newly-elected city council members took office, Trump supporters, hate groups, and special interests have teamed up to overturn election results that didn’t end up in their favor.
https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2019/08/10/18825340.php
https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2019/08/04/18825208.php

So far they have spent over $50,000 to mislead voters, spread lies, and attack the character of the two most outspoken City Councilmembers who are trying to implement data-driven, compassionate solutions to homelessness, build affordable housing, and protect the environment.
See the funding documents here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m4r17cywnx9jr1c/AABlB5fYyZm_E7iwhsTGOzFsa/Current%20Forms/Santa%20Cruz%20Together%20(2018-2019)/2019?dl=0&preview=Form+460+07.01.19+-+09.30.19_Redacted.pdf&subfolder_nav_tracking=1&fbclid=IwAR2qI9oZeGdxSE5rB_Z0j0CaQBkf49OGa62zCVfFTfM7gc10wsnZeu-FBzA

This recall is being funded by the same groups that fought against renters protections and want to limit the ability of students to vote in Santa Cruz politics. Join us to resist the recall and FIGHT FOR REPRESENTATION, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND SUSTAINABILITY.
