Online Event Live on ZOOM

On this winter solstice longest night, we rest in the warm, dark, healing womb of Mother Earth to nurture the dreams &amp; visions of our soul.
Gather in sacred circle to honor the Winter Solstice, to embrace the stillness of the longest night of the year and to emerge inspired and nurtured by spirit.
Let go of everyday concerns and rest in peaceful meditation to the soothing sounds of Native American Flute music played live.
Journey with the drum to the unseen realms to connect with compassionate guardian spirits for guidance and healing through direct revelation.
Sonya Jason is a professional musician, wisdom teacher, shamanic counselor and ceremonialist. Her work masterfully empowers each person’s innate connection with Spirit for guidance and healing. Sonya plays Native American wood flutes, frame drum, conch shell, gourd rattles and chakapa (Peruvian leaf rattle) to create powerful moving ceremonies, healing meditation music, and insightful shamanic journeys.
“Just beautiful. So healing and calming and uplifting.” ~ Jennifer Berezan - Visionary Artist/Musician, Activist and Producer in Berkeley CA

HALF MOON BAY, CA The Fourth Annual Beach Break Film Festival (BBFF).The 2025 <a href="https://beachbreakfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/films" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beach Break Entertainment Film Festival program</a>, running December 28–30 in Half Moon Bay, California presents a highly-curated selection of cinema that addresses urgent social issues and celebrates artistic prestige, featuring films connected to the legendary Coppola cinematic family and an urgent slate of advocacy-focused documentaries.&nbsp; Buy your Christmas and Chanukkah gifts now and share a moment on the beautiful San Mateo Coast.&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://www.beachbreakentertainment.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">beachbreakentertainment.com/</a> for tickets and more information. 
The three-day event, guided by the theme of human resilience, opens with the lovely film of kindness, <a href="https://beachbreakfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/schedule/691f65063b53e86bfbbe865a" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Power of Small</a>.<h3>In a world longing for compassion, imagine gathering a diverse group, endowing them with unexpected financial means, and setting them on a single mission: spread kindness. No rules, no supervision – just empathy as their guide.</h3>Don't miss this beautiful film featuring Atherton's <a href="https://thepowerofsmallmovie.com/about" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Terri D. Bullock</a>, as it&nbsp;chronicles the journeys of six individuals out of fifty, each gifted with resources to spread kindness and generosity. What unfolded defies expectations. Opening Night we share the critically acclaimed feature <a href="https://beachbreakfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/schedule/691f666284d5efed8e290ce2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fairyland</a>, an adaptation of Alysia Abbott’s memoir produced by Sofia Coppola and directed by Palo Alto's own Andrew Durham. This poignant story chronicles a unique father-daughter bond in bohemian San Francisco, later shadowed by the AIDS crisis. This is preceded by The Last Gift, a short film by Ryan Neisz, a three-time Emmy Award–winning producer, director, and editor known for his exceptional work in television development and storytelling.&nbsp; The Last Gift is a deeply human documentary that follows the journey of Jim, one of the first participants in the Last Gift rapid autopsy program at UC San Diego.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Advocacy, Democracy, and the Fight for Freedom</h3>
The festival's lineup provides a platform for critical national dialogue. The centerpiece documentary, <a href="https://beachbreakfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/schedule/6921e4af35baf56195ab9224" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Librarians</a>, directed by award-winning social issue filmmaker Kim A. Snyder, tackles the "unprecedented wave of book banning" and censorship across the US. Snyder’s work arrives with immediate prestige, as her concurrent documentary, DEATH BY NUMBERS, was recently nominated for the Best Documentary Short Film at the 97th Academy Awards in January 2025.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The festival closes with <a href="https://beachbreakfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/films/6903011e37ccb91547c636d1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brother Verses Brother</a>, a radical cinematic experiment directed by Ari Gold and inspired by Francis Ford Coppola’s "Live Cinema" concept. The Tuesday program also features Magic Hour, a dramady acing the career of the new director, Jacqueline Christy and starring Miriam Shor (Younger).&nbsp;Many of the subjects and directors will be with us to share their stories and entertain us along the way.&nbsp; Live music between each of the films, and a catered Closing Night Reception for all, catered by Cameron's Pub and Inn Restaurant with live music and a DJ.&nbsp; Don't miss the fun.&nbsp; Buy your stocking stuffers now.&nbsp; Visit our website for more information.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Adriene Busch’s art celebrates the Peninsula’s fog, marshlands, and daily beauty—not as metaphor, but as direct muse. Her pieces function as woven journals—mapping gratitude, intimacy, and local wonder.
Busch is deliberate in her material choices. Her use of recycled and natural fibers aligns with sustainability movements and the ethics of slow art. Her materials include wool, cotton, recycled sari silk, yarn blends, hemp, flax, yarn blends, and upcycled clothing.
Her color palette celebrates a range of earthy neutrals—like sand, fog gray, and marsh green—with unexpected bursts of saturated color, such as saffron, indigo, or coral. These contrasts document the shifting moods of the San Mateo County coast, from muted mornings to radiant sunsets.
Busch has been weaving since 2019 and is self-taught. Her seminal piece West Bay: A Love Letter was juried into the 2023 Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation year-long exhibition, displayed at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Center in downtown Redwood City. Busch grew up in the desert landscape of Arizona and is constantly captivated by the lushness of the San Francisco Bay Area. She lives and works in San Mateo.
