- Collective Creation Games – TODAY! Monday June 30th / 3 – 5 p.m. with Rami Chahine
Location: SubRosa courtyard, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA
Description: Collective creation games creates a container for creative play, critical reflection, deep sharing, making, mindfulness practices, movement, performing and game conception and design. It's a safe space where participants play art games then share & tell their personal stories, find points of connection amongst each other and transform them by working together into inclusive interactive games or experiential situations. They will try each others' propositions, reflect on them and share feedback. It's a space where video games or board games become models to think together and create real physical situations. In this sensorially stimulating space of experimentation, participants actualize their individual expression, build empathy, find group synergy and openly reflect about what makes collaboration work and what makes it fail.
NOTE: If participants are comfortable with it, the workshop can lead to participatory creative interventions on Pacific Avenue.
Materials: Bring a personal object, a sketchbook or paper and pen. Having junk and cardboard around can be very useful.
Accessibility: I'm parent to a newborn, so if someone feels under the weather it's better to not show up.

- Intro to Ecological Psychology: Relational Foundations of Self and World – TODAY! Monday June 30th / 6 – 7:30 p.m. with Lilli Specter (lilli.specter@viridis.edu)
Location: SubRosa Courtyard! 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA
Description: This course explores the dynamic interplay between ecological processes and our psychological experience. By examining five core ecological principles, students will gain insight into how these same patterns shape human narratives, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Ecopsychology invites us to move beyond the isolated self and into a deeper, more relational understanding of our place within the living world. Through this lens, we engage with both the beauty and the complexity of life on Earth—psychologically, ecologically, and ethically.

On unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people known as the Uypi, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to the removal and displacement of the Uypi. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
