SUMMARY:Author Talk: Carolina Ixta
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with author and educator Carolina Ixta as we hear about her sophomore novel\, Few Blue Skies. \nAbout the Book \nIn her latest novel\, Pura Belpré Award–winning author Carolina Ixta weaves a tender story about love and hope\, following a teen as she works to protect her family and community from a major corporation taking over her town. \nPaloma Vistamontes is heartbroken. A year ago\, her ex-boyfriend\, Julio Ramos\, broke up with her after his father’s death\, a tragedy that drove Paloma and him apart. Ever since then\, the mountains have felt flatter\, the sky farther away. \nNow\, her hometown of San Fermín\, a place where honest people work on farms and in factories\, is in danger. Selva\, a massive e-commerce conglomerate\, threatens to open one of their warehouses beside her high school. \nThis isn’t the first time they’ve done this. Since Selva arrived\, they’ve opened warehouses everywhere where there used to be green spaces. Because of them\, the air pollution is so bad that school is often canceled. Many people\, including Paloma’s ever-practical Ma\, want to leave. \nBut Paloma wants nothing more than to stay. Because when the smog clears\, there is still hope. That hope drives Paloma to reconnect with Julio to expose and challenge the dangers that Selva introduces to communities like their own. Can they stop Selva from destroying everything they know? Is there still a chance for their budding romance? \nAbout the Author \nCarolina Ixta is a writer from Oakland\, California. A daughter of Mexican immigrants\, she received her BA in creative writing and Spanish language and literature at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, and obtained her master’s degree in education at the University of California\, Berkeley. Her debut novel\, Shut Up\, This Is Serious\, was a Morris Award finalist\, an LA Times Book Prize finalist\, and the winner of the Pura Belpré Award. Few Blue Skies is her sophomore novel.

SUMMARY:Shambhala Meditation Daylong Retreats
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in February (and again in April and June) to learn more about and to practice the Shambhala teachings. Beginners welcome! \nWe will convene for 2 Saturdays in February to study and practice simple yet profound meditation teachings and practices from the ancient Tibetan teachings of Shambhala transmitted to western students by Chogyam Trungpa. Learn to meditate\, and to develop three main qualities: gentleness\, fearlessness and clear seeing. Centered on the notion of basic goodness\, these practical and beautiful teachings are meant for times that may be easy and also especially for times that are unsettling and difficult. They describe how people can actually make use of fear\, sadness and the human capacity for resilience to access an open awareness that is clear seeing\, steady and kind. \nEach Saturday session will include talks\, guided meditation instruction\, a lunch break\, small discussion groups and a tea break. All levels of practice are welcome. Some may be hearing these teachings for the first time while others may have studied them over many years. \nIf you have attended before consider joining us again to practice together in community. (Special “repeaters pricing”) Each time we mediate together in community\, we step in with “beginners mind.”\nFor questions and to learn more please contact Megan Murphy at meganqmurphy@outlook.com or 510-542-1391 Please Register Here: https://davis.shambhala.org/registration/?id=843908 \nSliding scale pricing offered.

SUMMARY:Forest Bathing Walks in Davis
DESCRIPTION:Come join Davis Forest School for a Forest Bathing walk led by Forest Mentor Connor Rosenblatt! There are two opportunities to join\, both in Davis (exact location shared after registration): \n-Sunday\, February 22nd from 1:00-3:30pm\n-Saturday\, March 14th from 1:00-3:30pm \nWhat is Forest Bathing? \nForest Bathing is a nature-based wellness practice inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku. In contrast to a hike\, Forest Bathing is a gentle\, mindful practice that emphasizes slowing down\, awakening our senses\, and connecting with nature (and ourselves) on a deeper level. During a Forest Bathing walk\, you will be invited to use your senses to intimately explore the natural world in the presence of a supportive community of practitioners. \nScientific studies have documented numerous benefits of Forest Bathing\, such as a decrease in anxiety\, a decrease in stress\, a decrease in blood pressure\, and an overall improvement in immune system functioning. Regardless of prior experience\, these walks are perfect for anyone interested in spending slow and intentional time in nature with a group. \nRegistration is $20 per person. This event is open to ages 13+.

SUMMARY:Writing Flash: Narratives of Origin
DESCRIPTION:What does “home” mean when you’ve crossed borders—geographic\, emotional\, or temporal? \nIn this intimate\, generative writing workshop\, participants are invited to explore stories of origin\, belonging\, and in-between-ness through the lens of flash—short\, powerful pieces that challenge and also cross the traditional divisions between prose and poetry\, fiction and nonfiction. \nLed by writer Karolina Letunova\, whose creative work emerges from her own experience of leaving Western Siberia as a young adult\, this three-hour workshop is open to writers of all levels of experience. Together\, participants will read brief examples of published flash narratives\, learn what makes these small forms resonate\, and write their own creative work with the support of guided prompts. This community will experience writing as both a private act and as a shared practice—one that helps surface emotional truths\, make them speakable\, and build a sense of belonging. \nWhether you are a foreign-born immigrant carrying an “invisible homeland\,” someone with a complicated relationship to your roots\, or simply curious about writing as a way to connect to yourselves and others\, this workshop offers a welcoming space to reflect\, create\, and be in community with local writers. \nWriters of all skill levels are welcome. No prior writing experience required. \nTickets:\nPresale (through 2/21/25): $20\nI-House Members & Students: $15\nAt the door (all attendees): $25 \nA special thanks to the City of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs Program and UC Davis Inclusive Excellence for their support of this program. \nAbout Karolina Letunova: \nKarolina Letunova grew up in Western Siberia. Her short stories and short shorts have appeared in AGNI\, The Cincinnati Review\, The Kenyon Review\, and The Threepenny Review. She has an MFA from the Helen Zell Writers’ Program at the University of Michigan. \nHer writing has received support from Bread Loaf-Rona Jaffe\, California Arts Council\, The de Groot Foundation\, the Elizabeth George Foundation\, as well as fellowships and residencies at Good Hart Artist Residency\, Monson Arts\, Ragdale\, Storyknife\, Ucross\, and VCCA. \nSince 2020\, Karolina has volunteered at Logos Books\, which raises funds for the Davis Public Library.
