“In the frozen north a woman and her husband, weathering the challenges of their marriage, receive a mysterious visitor who threatens to upend their world. Decades before and thousands of miles away in the burning south, an 11-year-old boy and a 300-year-old - yet still relatively adolescent - dragon girl meet and fall in love. Far from fairy tales or airbrushed fantasies, these two achingly poignant stories alternate in a heart-rending dance of desire, longing, and commitment that spans time and geography. The intensity of the ways these characters yearn and fall for each other is like nothing audiences have witnessed on stage, and the staggering final revelation will stop your heart with its beauty.”

“Vintage Invasion - where the old dances invade a new generation
Our crowd is growing and thriving... a really positive atmosphere!
Have you ever waltzed to Metallica or danced a polka to Lady Gaga? Yes? Then you know what a great time it is, and we will see you there! No? Well it's never too late to start. Since we have hundreds of years of waltz music to choose from, the variety makes a wonderful, festive evening. This is a casual, neighborhood party: a chance to meet people, bounce around, and generally make merry. We'll have a potluck; you are welcome to bring snacks if you like. Your hosts always bring the punch and water. No alcohol, please, as we sometimes have dancers under 21 attending.
All are welcome for the lesson, so we can get you moving and ready to sail across the floor. If you're new to dancing we promise to be patient with you, and if you have waltzed before we will improve your technique. After class, during the dance party, we will still be available to help you with what we taught you, and introduce you to some of our regulars. They are well skilled, but don't be shy about asking them to dance with you too. They'll probably be happy for the chance to show off. :)
8:00-9:00PM = Lesson in Vintage Waltz - no partner or experience needed
9:00PM-Midnight = Dance to Persephone and guest DJs playing lots of waltzes, and a little bit of many other partner dances.”

To that end, along with judging for quality, the juries aim to provide opportunities to the emerging artists as well as women of color, older women, lesbian and bisexual women, and immigrant women.
Since its inception, the Celebrations of Craftswomen has been a benefit for The Women’s Building, a multi-cultural community center where women and girls achieve self-sufficiency and pursue their dreams. Funds raised through the raffle, admission fees, and booth fees go to the organizations many programs, including free bilingual Spanish/English information and referral service, educational support for low-income adults, financial counseling, and community events that promote arts, culture, and discussion. The Women’s Building also houses ten diverse community groups and have helped launch more than 160 women’s programs and initiatives in San Francisco. The Women's Building is the first women-owned community center in the U.S.”

Francine's husband Jeffrey, a doctor, is lying to his dying patients - one of whom opens his eyes to Penny's nefarious plans for the Cornhusker State.

Thick House, 1695 18th Street, San Francisco
$20
“Join foolsFURY at The Thick House in San Francisco for the world premiere of Angela Santillo's original play Faulted. Directed by Evren Odcikin, Faulted is an ode to California in all its mysterious, tectonic plate shifting contradictions. Epic and roman, vegan and carnivore, West Side and the Central Valley combine under the signs of the next Big One, looming just under the horizon.
The mighty San Andreas Fault has woken up and set his eyes on Los Angeles, home to an earth empath named Aurora. Sitting in her trailer, Aurora can hear and sometimes see seismic activity before it registers on the finely tuned scientific instruments at nearby Caltech. Mitch, a graduate student at Caltech's Seismological Laboratory, has been sent to collect data about Aurora. Their meeting turns out to be much more than a collision between worlds of science and New Age belief. Attended by a chorus of godlike figures embodying California's fault lines, Aurora must convince Mitch to trust her predictions before it's too late.”

New work, good food and great prices on seconds. Don't miss it!!
I've been a studio potter in Berkeley, California for over 30 years. An early and strong interest in Asian ceramics has combined over the years with an equally strong interest in abstract painting, and gradually I've evolved a way of working that includes elements of both. You'll probably see evidence of this progression as you look at the past and present examples of my work on this site, particularly in the pieces done with water-soluble metal salts.”

World AIDS Day

check the website below to find local events

World AIDS Day is an opportunity for you to learn the facts about HIV and put your knowledge into action. If you understand how HIV is transmitted, how it can be prevented, and the reality of living with HIV today - you can use this knowledge to take care of your own health and the health of others, and ensure you treat everyone living with HIV fairly, and with respect and understanding.
You can also show your support for people living with HIV on World AIDS Day by wearing a red ribbon, the international symbol of HIV awareness.
World AIDS Day is also a great opportunity to raise money and show your support for people living with HIV.”

Led by Jewels Wingfield of Living Love
Free Introductory Seminar leading up to a five-week TreeSisters on-line course for women
Monday, December 1, 11:00AM-12:30PM
online, see website for details
Free
“There are teachings that are the birthright of every woman alive. Teachings that can reveal us to ourselves - that can replace ignorance with reverence, shame with self respect, and pain with healing - teachings that can guide us into relationship with our bodies and wombs as the most profound spiritual teachers that we could ever know or need.
Radical? Yes. Gloriously radical - life changing and fundamentally feminine. Inside us we house a gateway to creation that is also a path back to ourselves.
Our moon cycle is a flow that turns with the tides and plugs us into the mainframe of nature in ways that can redefine our experience and roles as women - a flow that can hand us the keys to more vibrant relationships with our health, creativity, sexuality, and spirituality if only we will recognize it, say yes to it, reclaim it and then fully embody it.
Earthing the Moon is a one of a kind, experiential journey of self discovery that will be utterly unique to you. This first collaboration between TreeSisters and Jewels Wingfield offers you five weeks of deepening and discovery through the wisdom and expression of your own body.
Online and on the phone - participate from your own home.
On Monday, December 1, please join us for a free introductory tele-seminar introducing this teaching
From Tuesday, January 13-Tuesday, February 10, we join together weekly to embody and move through five cycles of discovery as we reintroduce ourselves to the sacred gateways of the womb.
Each session is recorded and available immediately so you can participate from anywhere in the world at a time that works best for you.
Earthing the Moon: Free Introductory Seminar - What can I expect?
Meet Clare (TreeSisters) as she interviews Jewels (Living Love) about the transformational capacity of this teaching and the impact on both their lives as a result
Hear why we’ve created this course the way we have - with a focus on embodied experience, subtle listening and togetherness.
Drop into short taster experiences to understand how your body can more fully share it’s wisdom with you and how this relates to the course.
Uncover how your feminine nature is encoded with the seasons and how each season provides a gateway to yourself as a whole woman.
Discover how our hosting this course at the darkest part of the year is core to your potential and potency.
Learn why these wisdoms are foundational to TreeSisters and our long term vision
Ask the questions that could help clarify your participation in the journey.”

You will make and acorn ornament that you can give as a gift (or keep for yourself), in a style that can be replicated throughout the year by just changing the color palette, and also learn tips and get started on creating an egg and crepe paper pine cone. You will be given materials to finish your pine cone at home if you cannot finish it in class. Both the acorn and the pine cone are wonderful, wintery specimens!
Tiffanie Turner is an architect, artist and performer who began working passionately in paper last year. Since then, her work has appeared on numerous art and lifestyle blogs, the San Francisco Chronicle, One Kings Lane, and in her recent San Francisco solo gallery show entitled HEADS. Tiffanie has taught classes for Martha Stewart Living and online for creativeLIVE, and currently teaches workshops in several different paper techniques around the Bay Area and beyond under the moniker papel SF.”
