When you sponsor Live at the Lighthouse Concerts, you're making it possible for us to produce these unique experiences, and you'll have your business in the spotlight for thousands of attendees to see. 

YOUR SPONSORSHIP AND DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE: TAX ID EIN: 93-1166865.

The Point San Luis Lighthouse creates the most spectacular backdrop for live concerts in San Luis Obispo County. Going on our 5th year of sold-out concerts, this series attracts a cross section of locals and tourists who seek the very finest the area has to offer.

Live at the Lighthouse is powered by volunteers. Board members from Point San Luis Lighthouse Keepers and other volunteers work to make sure that these concerts provide the much needed revenue for the restoration and upkeep of the light station, a true Central Coast treasure. Your dollars go directly into the preservation of the incredible history of this site, and it’s majestic landscape.

Join us for a docent-led tour of the buildings and grounds of the historic Point San Luis Light Station.

Enjoy a scenic ride up the Lighthouse Road in a SLO SafeRide van to the Point San Luis Lighthouse where you will be met by a docent and led on a personalized tour of the buildings and grounds of this historic site established in 1890. 

The Point San Luis Lighthouse Keepers welcomes you to join our docent-led interpretive tours to experience a rich history of the beautifully restored Lighthouse, the Hornhouse, and other structures. Our tours will give you a glimpse into the lives of Lighthouse Keepers and their families while helping keep our jewel of the Central Coast preserved and protected. Point San Luis is part of the Port San Luis Harbor District.

Our mission is to restore, preserve, maintain, and operate the Point San Luis Lighthouse Station, circa 1890, as a historical, educational, and recreational site, for the use and enjoyment of the public through tours, events, and educational programs. Point San Luis is part of the Harbor District’s vision of maintaining a sustainable harbor that preserves our marine heritage and character.

We are a 501(c)3 charitable organization and are supported by people like you. Proceeds from tours, weddings, memberships, events, donations, and special events all go into preserving the Lighthouse and it’s history.

As with most theaters, ticket sales alone cannot keep us afloat. We rely on other income to help fund our productions and ongoing expenses. No one in our organization gets paid, and we are a non-profit business, so all money goes toward purchasing Rights and Royalties, set construction and decoration, advertising, printing, costuming, etc. Your donation is tax-deductible, and can be earmarked for the General Fund or for any area that you specify. If you are interested in sponsoring a show, please contact us.

Pecho Coast Trail has been open for guided hikes since 1993 and is known for its panoramic views of Avila Beach. Hikers are treated to stunning landscapes while learning interesting facts from docent naturalists. Topics include the local history of the Avila Beach area and information on the Northern Chumash tribe who once inhabited the area.

The Bennardo-Larson Duo was formed in 2016 when they undertook the task of learning and performing Charles Ives’s complete works for violin and piano, which they presented on their annual ‘Ives of March’ concerts from 2017-2019. Since then, the duo has steadily built a repertoire of pre-existing and newly-commissioned works for violin and piano.

Arroyo Grande Fish Migration Celebration!

Thursday, April 3, from 4:00 pm to 5:30

Creek Lands Conservation World Headquarters:
229 Stanley Avenue, Arroyo Grande 

Cost: FREE!

Creek Lands Conservation is thrilled to  invite you to a special event celebrating a significant achievement in their conservation:

Steelhead trout are the backbone of thriving ecosystems and communities. When Steelhead trout thrive, so do countless fish, wildlife, and plant communities. They are vital to our local ecosystems, and their absence can lead to a ripple effect of ecological degradation. For local communities, healthy ecosystems are the foundation of economic and environmental vitality. Clean water, vibrant wildlife, and resilient habitats support robust recreation, tourism, and agriculture industries.

Unfortunately, Steelhead are often blocked from critical habitat. For nearly a century, a stream gage on Arroyo Grande Creek has obstructed Steelhead trout migration upstream. Without access to vital upstream habitat, the Steelhead population suffers.

With funding from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and the County of San Luis Obispo, we fixed that problem. We successfully lowered the stream gage concrete platform so fish can make the jump and access several miles of upstream habitat to spawn and thrive in AG Creek.

Now, we want to celebrate this achievement and the phenomenon of Steelhead in AG Creek with an "AG Creek Fish Migration Celebration." Join us on Thursday, April 3, from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm at 229 Stanley Avenue in Arroyo Grande. Our offices happen to be immediately adjacent to the Arroyo Grande Creek Stream Gage Modification project, so you can take the stairs to see the project first-hand.

Come check out our new interpretive sign, enjoy some fabulous newly commissioned artwork, and meet our team of scientists and educators. Snacks and refreshments from local businesses will be served. Cost: free!

Creek Lands Conservation (CLC) is a locally based not-for-profit, working since 1983 with local communities to protect and restore Central Coast biodiversity for people and wildlife.

We look forward to seeing you at the celebration!

Drumming for Wellness

Facilitated rhythm experiences for oncology patients and survivors

Join us for a joyful and uplifting drum circle designed specifically for oncology patients, survivors, and their guests to explore rhythm and creative expression in a supportive group setting, facilitated by Dee DiGioia of Mindful Kindful YOUniversity.

Free event sponsored by Adventist Health- Sierra Vista in SLO

No Experience Needed!
Even if you think you have no rhythm, this experience is for you! No previous drumming experience is necessary—just an open heart and a willingness to explore. Participants are encouraged to express themselves freely without worrying about “getting it right.” It’s about the experience, not technical skill.

Why Drumming?
Drumming is a fun and engaging way to relieve stress, boost mood, and foster connection with others. Using hand drums and percussion instruments, participants will experience the joy of making music together while benefiting from guided rhythmic activities.

The Benefits of Drumming
Drumming is more than just fun—it has been shown to support overall well-being and is recognized as a valuable complement to conventional medical and mental health care. Research has demonstrated that participating in a drumming circle can help.

• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Release emotions
• Improve mood and emotional resilience
• Enhance focus and mental clarity
• Boost the immune system (Studies have been done that show playing drums for one hour a week raises the T-cell levels of the body to fight cancer.)
• Provides pain relief
• Encourage self-expression and creativity
• Promote a sense of connection and belonging
• Support physical coordination and motor skills
• Drumming is also a powerful outlet for emotional release and healing—when words fail, rhythmic beats can communicate emotions such as pain, joy, anger, grief, or peace.

How Rhythm Works
Drumming naturally engages the mind, body, and emotions, promoting relaxation while energizing the spirit. The rhythmic patterns help entrain brainwaves, bringing the mind into a balanced state of focus and calm.

This is more than just drumming—it’s an experience and a journey of self-discovery, creativity, and joyful connection. As you sync with the rhythm, you’ll gain a profound sense of peace, joy, and belonging, both within yourself and as part of the group.

What to Bring
All drums and percussion instruments will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own if you have one.

While working in her parents’ family restaurant, Jade found that waitressing provided the perfect setting to dream up songs, turning everyday experiences into inspiration for her craft. She pursued her passion for music at CalArts, where her unique talent caught the eye of industry professionals, leading to her being discovered and signed to a label during her junior year.

Life’s challenges never deterred her; even a severe back injury in college, which temporarily halted her journey, became fuel for her songwriting. Jade went on to release two critically acclaimed records with Anti-Records, establishing herself as a formidable voice in country rock. In 2022, she joined forces with Aubrie Sellers on the collaborative album Breaking Point, further expanding her musical reach.

Jade moved to Nashville to bring the Jackson+Sellers project to life and now splits her time between Tennessee and California, continuing to craft music that bridges both worlds. Most recently, in July 2024, she released her EP Silent Wings, continuing to draw listeners into her world with music that reflects her journey. Her songs remain deeply rooted in her lived experiences, shared with a sincerity and openness that aim to connect with others.

"Sweet Lullabies" Sound Journeys

for Babies (up to 1 year old), Parents, Expectant Parents, and Caregivers

at SYYNC Studio in SLO Ranch Marketplace

Immerse yourself and your little one in a soothing sound journey, where gentle vibrations and calming melodies create a nurturing space for relaxation, bonding, and well-being.

Commonly known as sound baths, these experiences use soft, harmonic tones from instruments such as singing bowls, chimes, and rhythmic drums to promote deep relaxation for both babies and caregivers.

This unique session provides a heart-centered space for parents (including expectant parents) and caregivers to rest, connect, and explore how sound positively influences the nervous system. You are welcome to hold, cuddle, feed, or simply be present with your baby throughout the journey. As little ones become more mobile and curious, the experience may become interactive, allowing for gentle movement and playful sound exploration.

Benefits of Sweet Lullabies Sound Journeys:

This gentle sound journey is designed with the utmost care for expecting mothers and parents with babies up to one year old. The experience features soft, soothing sounds from crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gentle percussion—intentionally crafted to promote deep relaxation and connection. To ensure a nurturing environment, we avoid loud or intensely vibrating sounds, creating a calming space for both parent and baby.

***As with any wellness practice during pregnancy, we encourage listening to your body and consulting with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.***

• Soothing Vibrations for Babies – Infants are highly receptive to sound, and gentle tones mimic the comforting sensations of the womb, supporting relaxation and sleep.
• Emotional Connection – Shared moments of sound and stillness strengthen the bond between caregivers and babies, fostering deeper attachment.
• Relaxation for Caregivers – Parenting can be overwhelming; this experience offers a chance to pause, breathe, and reset, reducing stress and creating a more peaceful home environment.
• Improved Sleep Cycles – The calming effects of sound can enhance sleep patterns for both babies and caregivers.
• Regulated Breathing & Energy – Gentle rhythms and breathwork help caregivers feel grounded and present, while babies absorb the soothing energy around them.

Join us in this accepting, loving, and nurturing space,  where sound becomes a bridge to serenity, connection,  and well-being for you and your little one.

Note: If you need to nurse, change a diaper, or walk around with your baby, no problem at all—this is a comfortable, flexible space designed to support you and your little one. Feel free to move around and tend to your baby as needed; we’re here to create a peaceful environment for both you and your child.

Mandala Music Meditation

The sacred alchemy of rhythm, song, and creative expression— medicine for heart and soul. 

Facilitated by Dee DiGioia, Mindful Kindful YOUniversity

Mandala, an ancient Sanskrit word meaning “sacred circle,” symbolizes wholeness and unity. Mandala Music Medicine is a special addition to our weekly YOUniversity Enrichment Class and Integrative Sound Journeys, inviting you to co-create an evening of rhythm, music-making, and vocal expression. This experience is transformative, healing, and soul-nourishing—a space where sound becomes a sacred bridge to inner harmony.

The Healing Power of Rhythm & Voice

Scientific research confirms what ancient traditions have long understood: rhythm, song, and shared connection profoundly enhance mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. As we weave sound together—through drumming, toning, and intuitive vocalization—we open ourselves to a deeper sense of presence, joy, and release.

The journey flows between vibrant sound and sacred silence, allowing time for reflection, quiet contemplation, or meditation. These moments of stillness help integrate the harmony and energy cultivated within the circle, anchoring it deeply into our hearts and souls.

Vocal Exploration

Unlock the vibrational power of your voice through:

• Vocal toning
• Humming
• Chanting
• Simple, heartfelt songs

No musical experience is needed—this is not about performance, but authentic self-expression. Whether your voice is soft or strong, practiced or uncertain, it is welcome here.

Participation

Everyone is invited to engage in a way that feels natural—whether by drumming, shaking a rattle, humming, singing, or simply listening. Your presence is a gift that adds to the collective resonance of the circle.

Feel the uplifting energy as rhythm and song flow through you, awakening your heart, invigorating your body, and nourishing your soul.

Take the Journey Beyond the Circle

The beauty of this practice is that it doesn’t end when the evening does. The rhythms, melodies, and sense of connection you cultivate can become tools for navigating daily life with greater ease, resilience, and alignment with your true nature.

Join us for this sacred and heart-opening experience—where rhythm, voice, and creative expression become medicine for the soul.

No experience needed—just bring your heart, your presence, and an open spirit.

A YOUniversity Enrichment Class

"We all are so deeply interconnected; we have no option but to love all. Be kind and do good for any one and that will be reflected. The ripples of the kind heart are the highest blessings of the Universe." -Amit Ray

Join us for a deeply nourishing Inspiration Circle & Sound Journey—an evening of shared wisdom, heartfelt connection, and vibrational healing.

Inspiration Circle

We begin by gathering in an Inspiration Circle, a sacred space to uplift and be uplifted. This is an opportunity to share words, stories, music, or creative expressions in the collective energy of kindred spirits.

Each participant is invited to bring something that inspires or uplifts:

• A passage from a book, poem, quote, article, or letter (written by you or another)
• A piece of artwork, craft, or meaningful object
• A song—play an instrument, sing, or share lyrics that speak to your heart
• Anything else that sparks joy and inspiration!

Optional: If you feel called, you may also pass along what you brought—such as a beloved book—so its journey can continue into new hands.

Following our Inspiration Circle, surrender to the resonance of an Integrative Sound Journey, where the vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, and other sacred instruments create waves of harmony within and around you. As sound ripples through your being, it integrates the wisdom and inspiration shared, gently dissolving tension and awakening a sense of peace, clarity, and renewal.

Scientific research increasingly validates what ancient traditions have long known: sound carries the power to restore balance and harmony within. Through the fusion of artistry, science, and intentional sound, your body's natural vibrational state is revitalized—like the ripples in a still pond, expanding outward in alignment with your true nature.

Join Our Community!

Bring an open heart and something inspirational to share. If you don’t feel called to share, simply come to receive. Together, we uplift, reflect, and attune to the rhythm of our highest selves.

Earth Day Celebration

Drumming Meditations for the Earth and Humanity

Facilitated by Dee DiGioia | Mindful Kindful YOUniversity

Gather with us under the open sky, around the warmth of a campfire, as we celebrate Earth Day through rhythm, reflection, and community. Feel the pulse of life as we drum together in harmony with the heartbeat of the Earth. Drumming is one of the oldest forms of meditation known to humanity.

Drumming & Rhythm Exploration

This guided drumming experience invites you to awaken your spirit, explore creative expression, and come into coherence with the natural rhythms of life. No prior drumming experience is needed—everyone is welcome! This is a space for free exploration, without pressure or perfection.

As we co-create rhythms together, we will let the energy flow, allowing the "song" to guide us naturally into meditative stillness. In these sacred moments of silence, we invite reflection, prayer, or quiet communion with nature, carrying the gift of rhythm deep into our hearts.

This circle will have a slightly different progression than our regular "Joyful Rhythms" Drum Circles. Rather than a fully interactive drum circle, this will be a more immersive, participatory sound journey—one that invites us to dive deeply into meditation and inner exploration, with the Earth and nature supporting us.

The Science & Spirit of Rhythm

Scientific research increasingly validates what ancient cultures have long known: drumming, song, and collective rhythm uplift our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.  Drumming connects us—to ourselves, to one another, and to the natural world.

Earth Day 2025 Theme: "Our Power, Our Planet"
This year’s global theme calls for unity in the transition to renewable energy, aiming to triple the generation of clean electricity by 2030. We join this movement through the power of rhythm, raising our collective energy in gratitude for the Earth and our shared commitment to a sustainable future.

Come celebrate, connect, and take inspired action through the universal language of rhythm. Let’s drum for the Earth, for healing, and for each other.

1. Drum and other percussion instruments will be provided!  Feel free to bring your own if you have any. Other instruments (flutes, hand pans, didgeridoos, etc.) are also welcome.

"Sweet Lullabies" Sound Journeys

for Babies (up to 1 year old), Parents, Expectant Parents, and Caregivers

at SYYNC Studio in SLO Ranch Marketplace

Immerse yourself and your little one in a soothing sound journey, where gentle vibrations and calming melodies create a nurturing space for relaxation, bonding, and well-being.

Commonly known as sound baths, these experiences use soft, harmonic tones from instruments such as singing bowls, chimes, and rhythmic drums to promote deep relaxation for both babies and caregivers.

This unique session provides a heart-centered space for parents (including expectant parents) and caregivers to rest, connect, and explore how sound positively influences the nervous system. You are welcome to hold, cuddle, feed, or simply be present with your baby throughout the journey. As little ones become more mobile and curious, the experience may become interactive, allowing for gentle movement and playful sound exploration.

Benefits of Sweet Lullabies Sound Journeys:

This gentle sound journey is designed with the utmost care for expecting mothers and parents with babies up to one year old. The experience features soft, soothing sounds from crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gentle percussion—intentionally crafted to promote deep relaxation and connection. To ensure a nurturing environment, we avoid loud or intensely vibrating sounds, creating a calming space for both parent and baby.

***As with any wellness practice during pregnancy, we encourage listening to your body and consulting with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.***

• Soothing Vibrations for Babies – Infants are highly receptive to sound, and gentle tones mimic the comforting sensations of the womb, supporting relaxation and sleep.
• Emotional Connection – Shared moments of sound and stillness strengthen the bond between caregivers and babies, fostering deeper attachment.
• Relaxation for Caregivers – Parenting can be overwhelming; this experience offers a chance to pause, breathe, and reset, reducing stress and creating a more peaceful home environment.
• Improved Sleep Cycles – The calming effects of sound can enhance sleep patterns for both babies and caregivers.
• Regulated Breathing & Energy – Gentle rhythms and breathwork help caregivers feel grounded and present, while babies absorb the soothing energy around them.

Join us in this accepting, loving, and nurturing space,  where sound becomes a bridge to serenity, connection,  and well-being for you and your little one.

Note: If you need to nurse, change a diaper, or walk around with your baby, no problem at all—this is a comfortable, flexible space designed to support you and your little one. Feel free to move around and tend to your baby as needed; we’re here to create a peaceful environment for both you and your child.

Time & Location

April 22, 1-3 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall

Project 2025 has been part of the political scene for years now. It had been developed in think tanks as a blue print for a complete remake of the American Government. Unrecognized by one major candidate and used as a major fear tactic by another in our recent presidential election, the document has now come alive in the early days of the present administration. In his usual irreverent style, Ed Cabrera will update you on how this plan is taking shape. He will review how recent moves reflect the document and discuss the impact of the respective decisions. Possible checks on the moves by other branches of government of the federal government will be identified, when applicable, and suggestions on how you can deal with the changes on a personal level will also be shared.

Mr. Cabrera taught at Atascadero High School and, before that, at Perris High School (in Southern California). He also coached numerous sports and advised even more clubs in his career spanning 4 decades. His previous classes covered a diverse set of topics such as The Electoral College, Hong Kong, 1919 and Immigration. Ed is also our I.T specialist and a member of our board of directors

Earth Day Celebration

Sound Immersion for Grounding, Healing & Renewal

YOUniversity Enrichment Class and Integrative Sound Journey

With Dee DiGioia | Mindful Kindful YOUniversity

Step into a sacred space of deep relaxation and renewal as we honor Earth Day through the healing vibrations of sound. This immersive experience invites you to reflect on the interconnectedness of all life and the sacredness of the natural world. It is a journey of grounding, healing, and restoration—a time to root yourself in the nourishing embrace of the Earth, reconnect with your foundation, and restore inner balance.

Grounding & Root Chakra Activation

Although we will be indoors, our focus will be on deep grounding with Mother Earth and balancing the Root Chakra (Muladhara)—the energy center that connects us to stability, security, and belonging. When the Root Chakra is in harmony, we feel safe, supported, and deeply connected to the Earth.

Through intentional sound vibrations, we will gently anchor into the Earth’s energy, releasing tension, fear, and uncertainty while absorbing strength, resilience, and renewal.

A Journey Through Sound & Nature

This immersive sound journey will guide you through a soothing soundscape that harmonizes with the elements of nature, gently leading you into a state of deep relaxation and inner stillness.:

• Grounding & Stabilizing Your Energy
• Releasing Fear, Anxiety & Tension
• Restoring Inner Strength & Balance
• Deepening Your Connection with Nature

Prior to the Sound Journey, we will engage in complementary practices (TBA) to help deepen the experience.

Earth Day, April 22, 2025 Theme: "Our Power, Our Planet"

This year’s theme calls for collective action toward a more sustainable future, emphasizing the need to triple global clean electricity generation by 2030.

As we root ourselves in the present moment, we align with the Earth’s call for healing—not just for the planet, but within ourselves.

37th Annual AAUW GARDEN TOUR 

Sunday, April 27, 2025

1:00 - 5:00 PM

Mark your calendars because the Morro Bay Garden Tour is back! The tour is scheduled for Sunday, April 27th from 1-5pm. There are four gardens featured, and we highly recommend that you visit them all, however; the tour is self-guided and can be enjoyed at the pleasure of your own pace.

We hope you’ll join us!

This is the major fundraiser for the Morro Bay Branch of the American Association of University Women. Proceeds are used for high school scholarships in Morro Bay and to send several 7th grade girls to a TECH summer camp to study the STEM subjects. 

THE GARDENS

1.       2224 Coral Avenue (Cloisters) / Morro Bay

From Hwy 1 turn west on San Jacinto, left on Coral

The cozy Cloisters cottage is complemented by a charming garden alive with vibrant colors and inviting walkways. Garden by Gabriel provided the original design layout, and current owners Jeannie Palermo and Terri Cambell have added their own delightful garden art, pretty mosaic pavers, compact veggie beds and riotous splashes of alstroemeria amongst the handsome succulent, aloe specimens and accent rocks. Jeannie has also creatively painted the utility boxes in the front yard to cleverly disguise them as garden art. The backyard patio is a perfect place for relaxation with a garden view.

2.       410 Fairview Avenue / Morro Bay

From Hwy 1 take Morro Bay Blvd, left on Kern, left on Ridgeway, left on Fairview, 2nd house on the right

Spoiler alert! You are entering an artist’s “legacy” garden filled with trees, plants, and art that enkindle memories of the owner and his family. Jeff Carney, whose paintings are often featured at SLOMA and the Morro Bay Art Center, enjoys creating art in his garden as well. His grandfather purchased this lot in MB to graze horses in 1940, and Jeff has turned it into a fanciful hillside landscape. Colorful birdhouses abound, and ordinary objects have been repurposed into whimsical eye-catching art forms. The home's front entrance is a delightful sitting area with a magnificent view of the bay.

3.       1500 13th Street / Los Osos

From South Bay Blvd turn west on Santa Ysabel, left on 13th (garden on left at corner of Paso Robles)

A white picket fence with a vine-covered entrance gate will invite you into Mary Jefferson’s lovely front yard, where an array of succulent’s flourish beneath a magnificent pepper tree. Sage Landscape has rejuvenated the plantings throughout Mary’s property. In her backyard, ferns and other shade-loving pants thrive beneath an arbor and hang from a spectacular strawberry tree. She has repurposed a large birdbath into an eye-catching planter near her charming blue garden shed. There’s so much to see here!

4.       1958 Los Osos Valley Road (D & D Floral Designs) / Los Osos

On LOVR, parking only at Baptist Church at corner of Lariat, no parking on LOVR

Welcome to Debbie Deis’s old-fashioned farm where colorful flowers, fruit trees, vegetable row-crops, critters, lily ponds, garden art and what not galore all thrive harmoniously. Take your time browsing because surprises large and small are to be found everywhere! Greet the bunnies, cluck to the chickens, marvel at the fabulous ceramic art and the fishpond with a waterfall, visit the succulent-filled hothouse and sheltered tropical pants and fern room. Reminisce about bygone days when Aermotor windmills and metal milk cans were everyday essentials. Inhale the amazing fragrances throughout the garden!

Into the Woods is a spellbinding, Tony Award-winning musical that intertwines beloved fairy tales like Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, and Little Red Riding Hood into a clever and captivating story. The first act explores how all the fairytale characters achieve their wishes, while the second act delves into life after "happily ever after." With Stephen Sondheim’s iconic music and lyrics, this magical journey explores the consequences of wishes and the complexities of "happily ever after." Full of heart, humor, and unforgettable songs, Into the Woods is a must-see theatrical experience for all ages!

"Sweet Lullabies" Sound Journeys

for Babies (up to 1 year old), Parents, Expectant Parents, and Caregivers

at Coast Yoga & Movement, Los Osos

Immerse yourself and your little one in a soothing sound journey, where gentle vibrations and calming melodies create a nurturing space for relaxation, bonding, and well-being.

Commonly known as sound baths, these experiences use soft, harmonic tones from instruments such as singing bowls, chimes, and rhythmic drums to promote deep relaxation for both babies and caregivers.

This unique session provides a heart-centered space for parents (including expectant parents) and caregivers to rest, connect, and explore how sound positively influences the nervous system. You are welcome to hold, cuddle, feed, or simply be present with your baby throughout the journey. As little ones become more mobile and curious, the experience may become interactive, allowing for gentle movement and playful sound exploration.

Benefits of Sweet Lullabies Sound Journeys:

This gentle sound journey is designed with the utmost care for expecting mothers and parents with babies up to one year old. The experience features soft, soothing sounds from crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gentle percussion—intentionally crafted to promote deep relaxation and connection. To ensure a nurturing environment, we avoid loud or intensely vibrating sounds, creating a calming space for both parent and baby.

***As with any wellness practice during pregnancy, we encourage listening to your body and consulting with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.***

• Soothing Vibrations for Babies – Infants are highly receptive to sound, and gentle tones mimic the comforting sensations of the womb, supporting relaxation and sleep.
• Emotional Connection – Shared moments of sound and stillness strengthen the bond between caregivers and babies, fostering deeper attachment.
• Relaxation for Caregivers – Parenting can be overwhelming; this experience offers a chance to pause, breathe, and reset, reducing stress and creating a more peaceful home environment.
• Improved Sleep Cycles – The calming effects of sound can enhance sleep patterns for both babies and caregivers.
• Regulated Breathing & Energy – Gentle rhythms and breathwork help caregivers feel grounded and present, while babies absorb the soothing energy around them.

Join us in this accepting, loving, and nurturing space,  where sound becomes a bridge to serenity, connection,  and well-being for you and your little one.

Note: If you need to nurse, change a diaper, or walk around with your baby, no problem at all—this is a comfortable, flexible space designed to support you and your little one. Feel free to move around and tend to your baby as needed; we’re here to create a peaceful environment for both you and your child.

Attuning to Gratitude 

YOUniversity Enrichment Class and Integrative Sound Journey

Monthly on the 4th Tuesday - EXCEPT THIS MONTH it's moved to the 5th Tuesday so we can celebrate Earth Day on the 22nd

Join us for an important discussion on the power of practicing gratitude followed by an integrative Sound Journey, held in a welcoming space of compassion and connection. Gratitude is a frequency that aligns us with many positive emotions such as joy, awe, and inner harmony. 

Gratitude - a force for change

Gratitude is not just an emotion but a dynamic force that brings joy, love, and optimism, helping to protect us from destructive emotions like envy and resentment. It profoundly impacts our mental and emotional health, making it an invaluable tool for shifting our mindset toward well-being.

When Life Gets Tough

While it’s easy to feel grateful during good times, it’s especially important to practice gratitude during challenging times. Renowned gratitude researcher Robert Emmons explains: 

"In the face of demoralization, gratitude has the power to energize. In the face of brokenness, gratitude has the power to heal. In the face of despair, gratitude has the power to bring hope."

When life feels extra challenging, gratitude can help us cope, offering a profound shift toward healing and resilience.

Why Practice Daily Gratitude?

Research shows that practicing gratitude regularly brings numerous physical, emotional, and social benefits:

• Emotional Well-Being: Increases happiness, reduces stress, and fosters resilience.
• Physical Health: Boosts immunity, improves sleep, lowers blood pressure, and increases energy.
• Social Connection: Strengthens relationships, encourages kindness, and deepens our sense of connection to others and the universe.
• And so much more!

Gratitude helps us focus on the positive, cultivating more joy, peace, and abundance in our daily lives.

A Harmonious Fusion of Artistry, Science, and Integrative Sound 

Scientific research over recent decades has increasingly validated what ancient cultures and traditions have long understood: the transformative power of sound.

Gratitude has a vibrational frequency of 540 Hz, one of the highest frequencies we can achieve, similar to the frequency of love. Quantum physics shows that everything in the universe, including our thoughts and emotions, emits vibrations that interact with the energetic field around us. 

In our immersive journey of sound instruments—including crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, gongs, chimes, and other sacred instruments—are artistically blended to create a soothing, restorative, and therapeutic experience. Through the harmonious fusion of artistry, science, and sound energy, revitalizing energy emerges as you come into attunement with the vibration of gratitude naturally restoring balance, inner peace, and harmony to your body’s natural, healthy vibrational state—your true nature.

OPTIONAL: Daily Reflection Practice for 4 Weeks

After the Sound Journey, you will be invited to continue the practice with a month of daily gratitude reflection. Through journaling, mindful awareness, and intentional pauses, you will cultivate a deeper connection to the abundance within and around you.

When we reunite in four weeks, we will gather again for another Sound Journey to amplify and renew our gratitude practice, sharing insights from our reflections and expanding our capacity for joy, peace, and appreciation.

About our “YOUniversity” Enrichment Classes & Sound Journeys

Our class participants will take a tour with guide and owner Jeff Dobbs at their ranch where they house hundreds of animals that have been rescued. The extended Dobbs family took over the non-profit, Turtle and Tortoise Rescue, 6 ½ years ago from Bob and Judy Thomas.  They extended their rescues to include all kinds of animals (sheep, goats, alpacas, emus, and many different birds).  

All of the animals have stories of where and how they have been rescued, whether by private parties or other agencies such as Pacific Wildlife Care, Fish and Game,  or Animal Services.

The Dobbs are committed to making our 5-acre rescue a place that is good for animals, good for people, and good for the environment through conservation, sustainability, and education.

They use the ranch for numerous school field trips, with many kids getting community hours to satisfy graduation requirements.

This one hour stroll will take you throughout the ranch.  Comfortable shoes, a hat, and sunglasses are suggested. Feel free to bring romaine or zucchini to feed the masses. 

Jeff and Dr. Tammy Dobbs have always loved turtles and tortoises and when they rescued a badly-chewed up box turtle from a ranch in Nipomo (now named Jacque), they came to know Bob Thomas and the Turtle & Tortoise Rescue well.  When Bob mentioned he was preparing to retire and was considering closing the ranch, Jeff and Tammy stepped in to continue the good work of the rescue.

RENT

Set in the East Village of New York City, Rent is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon. with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages.

Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.

How do the cells in your body know whether to create skin or an eye? From the patches on a cow and the waves in sand dunes, to the structure of the universe, this class is an introduction to Chaos Theory, the science of how the complexity of our universe stems from simple rules repeated over and over and how infinitesimal changes in the input to a complex, dynamic system can have extreme effects on the system’s outcome; i.e. the Butterfly Effect. 

Chaos Theory explains the fluctuations in the stock market, the variations in weather patterns, heart rhythms, and evolution. Chaos Theory has upended the Newtonian, clockwork concept of the universe.

On occasion we all use swear words to express intensity of emotion or level of conviction. Why do we use them? Why do we call them “swear” words? Why are the swear words we use most often taboo terms referring to faith, sex, and bodily functions? Are swear words historically and culturally-bound?

Soothing Sound Journeys

Monthly Wellness Experiences for Navigating Cancer

 Free event for cancer patients and survivors

sponsored by Adventist Health- Sierra Vista in SLO

Join us for a deeply relaxing and restorative Sound Journey designed specifically for cancer patients and survivors, facilitated by Dee DiGioia of Mindful Kindful YOUniversity.

Each session—also known as a Sound Bath—offers a gentle, immersive experience featuring a soothing soundscape created by crystal and metal singing bowls, chimes, gongs, and other therapeutic instruments. These calming sounds help ease tension, quiet the mind, and encourage a deep sense of inner peace. Complementary practices such as breathwork and gentle vocal exploration through toning or song may also be included.

The Benefits of Sound Journeys
Sound Journeys are widely recognized as a valuable complement to conventional medical and mental health care. Scientific research has shown that sound immersion experiences can support many dimensions of physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being by: 

• Reducing stress and anxiety
• Increasing relaxation
• Providing pain relief
• Supporting immune function
• Lowering blood pressure and calming heart rate
• Improving sleep quality
• Enhancing mood and emotional resilience
• Enhancing body awareness

How Sound Works
Sound frequencies engage the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting deep relaxation and restoring balance to the body and mind. This process, known as brainwave entrainment, occurs when brain waves synchronize with external sound frequencies, guiding the mind into a state of calm and clarity. As tension melts away, energy flows more freely, supporting emotional and physical well-being.

What to Bring for Your Comfort

Wear comfortable clothing for lying on the floor.

• A yoga mat (or something comfortable to lie on)
• A blanket
• A small pillow

An eye cover (if you have one)

Who We Are
The SLO Blues Organization has three (3) main objectives. Our first is to provide first-rate and affordable family entertainment to California’s Central Coast residents. We believe it is our responsibility as a local business to give back to this great community. To this end, we have established Outreach Programs like the Charity Partners Program, the Educational Partner Program, and the Blues Buddies Program. Our second objective is to mentor and advance the professional and physical skills of collegiate ballplayers at the highest level of competition. Local and national Division I baseball players continue their development with Blues while temporarily away from their parent college or university. Our third objective is to continue and expand our internship program which focuses on a learn-by-doing approach. We take great pride in our interns’ involvement in nearly every aspect of operations, and will have more than 30 individuals each season.

California Collegiate League
Founded in 1993, the California Collegiate League is one of the premiere college summer baseball destinations in America. Ten teams are spread across the great state of California. During June and July, top college baseball players compete for the MLB Academy Barons, Arroyo Seco Saints, Conejo Oaks, Orange County Riptide, San Luis Obispo Blues, Santa Barbara Foresters, Menlo Park Legends, San Francisco Seagulls, Sonoma Stompers and Walnut Creek Crawdads.

Our Thanks
The Blues have always depended upon local support for survival. We hope our passion in what we do shows in every pitch and crack of the bat. We are both proud and grateful to be serving the Central Coast. We would like to hear from you. Please send any comments, compliments or suggestions to [email protected]

Many animals produce beautiful mating displays, but their evolution is a puzzle because they seem incompatible with survival. Darwin first proposed a viable explanation, but how we view his theory and how we study mating behavior has changed since then. In this multi-media presentation, Dr. Kolluru will speculate on the past and future of studying mating behavior and its consequences in animals, including humans.  Come see why her "Biology of Sex" class has become one of the most popular on the Cal Poly campus. And if you have any "Ask Dr. Gita..." questions, we undoubtedly will have some interesting conversations!

During this course you will see filmed scenes of animals mating and hear discussion about sex in animals including humans. If this makes you uncomfortable this course may not be appropriate for you.

Cal Poly Professor Gita Kolluru has spent a lifetime studying the mating tactics of fish and insects. Dr. Kolluru is a Canadian transplant who left Ontario, Canada for nearby Ontario, California to do her MA and PhD at UC Riverside. She has studied fish in Cuba, Trinidad and Costa Rica, and crickets in Hawaii. She identifies her work as studying the costs and benefits of sexually selected displays and aggressive intermale interactions.

A Tribute to Arlo & Woody Guthrie Concert

Come celebrate legendary folk singers Woody & Arlo Guthrie on Sunday, June 1 at Cambria Center for the Arts Theatre (CCAT)! We'll cover a wide range of topical ballads and broadsides, from Woody's Dust Bowl Ballads, to Arlo's hits like City of New Orleans. 

The performers include local duo Bay Love, Central Coast fave Holly Ann Lewis, Carpinteria's The Dennis & Laura Show, SoCal songsters Kern Richards and Steve Bannon, and several Santa Cruz area musicians: Michael Gaither, Woody Bell and Lola Guthrie.

Woodrow Wilson Guthrie was an American singer-songwriter and composer who was one of the most significant figures in American folk music. "This Land is Your Land" is his best-known work, but Guthrie also wrote hundreds of country, folk, and children's songs. Arlo went on to record and perform his father's music, as well as create new originals, such as "Alice's Restaurant Massacree", a satirical talking blues song about 18 minutes in length that has since become a Thanksgiving anthem.

The concert is produced by Songwriters at Play, husband-wife team Steve Key and Bonnie Nelson-Key. Their tributes at CCAT have included the music of Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan. www.songwritersatplay.com

What are the best seafood choices and why? Does it matter how seafood is harvested or farmed?  What seafood is healthy/unhealthy for me? We will explore various commercial fishing methods, including fish farming, and their impacts on the marine environment. This information will empower you to make healthy seafood choices that also help sustain the world’s fisheries and the marine environment.

Steve Hendricks grew up on the Central Coast. He holds a B.S. in Fish Biology from Humboldt State, an M.S. in Fish Biology from Oregon State, and worked for more than a decade as a fish biologist in California, Alaska, Oregon and Idaho.

The United States has a long history of first welcoming, then expelling refugees who sought escape from war, persecution, violence and privation abroad. This course will focus on one telling refugee group, our Cambodian allies during the Viet Nam War. Their American immigrant experience will explore the legal grounds for deportation, the processes of expulsion, and the human costs of double displacement and betrayal. 

The deportation of legal permanent residents is not new, it has been happening for decades. Included among those sent back are refugees who sought shelter in the U.S. from war, persecution or violence. This talk will explore the legislation that allows for their deportation, telling the story largely through one group, Cambodian Americans who arrived after the Vietnam War. The trauma they endured, the role U.S. policy played in their displacement and what happened to them once they were resettled here, as well as how they fared after they were sent back, will all be discussed

Katya Cengel is a Cal Poly professor in Journalism and the author of four non-fiction books covering everything from minor league baseball in Bluegrass Baseball to life in a children’s psych ward in Straitjackets and Lunch Money. She has received an Eric Hoffer Academic Press award, two Independent Publisher Book Awards and a Foreword INDIES. Cengel’s magazine writing has taken her to Utah to search for Bigfoot (she didn’t find him) and to Mongolia to write about female street artists.
