A radically different approach to living and learning, Free Skool Santa Cruz is a grassroots educational project with classes held in homes, social spaces, and parks. It is an opportunity to learn from each other and share what we know, with a focus on self-reliance, community, do-it-yourself culture, and creating a new and beautiful world.
The project strives to blur the lines between teacher, learner, and organizer, while posing a direct challenge to dominant institutions and coercive power structures. Part of creating a new world is resistance to the old one. Through this project, we want to change the way we learn, teach, and relate to each other.
with love,
the Free Skool Collective
Zero Waste: Confronting the Crisis
SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave Tues Aug 20th – 5-7pm
with Bob and Nick airbaron@gmail.com
Mindful
of the environmental and social crises currently facing the world, this
class seeks to find a creative response with the concept of "zero
waste." The teachers will give a short history of the concept. From this
theoretical background we hope to play with concrete actions, exploring
limits, and emphasizing experimentation. We hope to engage in responses
that are personal day-to-day action from the ground up and/or
collective projects of transformation. Course is in two-parts: first
class will be discussion and brainstorming; second class will be
reflection, sharing of actions and moving forward.
Parenting from the Heart
SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave Wed Aug 21st – 5-6:30pm
with Jodi doulajodi@gmail.com
Based
on the principles of Non Violent Communication, this class offers
concrete tools and examples of how to parent from the heart. We will
practice methods of respectful interpersonal communication that both
addresses and aims to meet the needs of every family member. These
methods are useful from toddlerhood through the teen years. Resolving
challenges peacefully is a hallmark of parenting from the heart with the
goal to create freedom and joy within the family. Requirements: This
class is open to parents of children of all ages, expectant parents,
those considering parenthood, and anyone who has a child in their life.
Early Christianity
SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave. Wed Aug 21st – 5pm
with Rabbit Killer rabiticide@gmail.com
A
historical study of early Christianity focusing on the critical period
following the death of the historical Jesus to the formation of the
faith's major tenets at the Council of Nicea in 325. We will discuss
questions like: how do the intellectual descendants of revolutionaries
become so orthodox and rigid? Why did Christianity win out over all the
competing belief systems? What were the "Lost" Christianities like?
We invite you to come to SubRosa other times as well. And don't be deterred from stopping by if SubRosa is closed a bit more this month. In September our hours will be more regular again, as some of us have been traveling around a bit in August.

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
