A series of free community art workshops designed for mamas and their children in San Jose. The project aims to cultivate a space where moms can show up without feeling worried about whether to bring their child. Building accessible shared creative spaces where mamas can connect is necessary for collective wellbeing, joy, and imagination.

Painted Planters with Elba Raquel

Embracing nature is a beautiful way to learn about caregiving and growth. As you tend to a small plant, you cultivate a sense of responsibility and consistency, nurturing a living thing from a tiny seed into something vibrant. Create a personalized pot that will bring joy to your household and encourage you and your loved ones to grow your own plant with style!

Coloring Party with Chetna Mehta
October 11, 2025
Join us for a coloring party of Chetna’s new coloring book “Cultivating Compassion in Times of Fascism.” Compassion is not a sentimental nice-to-have, but an embodied and necessary practice. A form of resistance. A muscle we can build in creativity, in community, and in the colorful rituals of care that remind us why we’re here.
