INDIVISIBLE WATU – Meeting
Saturday, November 4th
Join “It’s About Time” festival curator Steven Schick for a discussion of the legacy of African-American composer Charles Mingus and his historic Tijuana Moods album. One of the most important composers in jazz history, Mingus documented his lively impressions of Tijuana in this rarely performed suite. Moderated by Grammy-winning jazz author Ashley Kahn, the program will feature eminent alto saxophonist Charles McPherson, a longstanding member of Charles Mingus’ band; and Anthony Davis, UC San Diego professor of music and noted composer, pianist and improviser. Presented in association with performances of Tijuana Moods at Tijuana’s CECUT (Jan 21) and Athenaeum Jazz at TSRI (Jan 22)

SELF-LOVE DAY 2018
Do you need more “me time”? Are you looking for a fun way to treat yourself this Vday? Join us Sunday, February 11, 2018 from 2-5pm for an afternoon of SELF-LOVE and VINO VINYASA (translation…wine and yoga!!).
Enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the tranquil and serene Roots Up Yoga Flow studio as we sip wine & do “gentle flow” yoga. We always make time to “share our stories” as we connect and heal, and feature a local business owner.
Lots of healing activities for your mind, body and spirit:
* Toast yourself (!) and have a “Self Love Libation”– your choice of Signature SISTERcircle Mimosa or healthy delicious smoothie.
* Participate in a guided yoga session with certified yoga instructor, and owner of Roots Up Yoga Flow, Debra Brooks.
*In the “Visual Love Corner”, paint peaceful healing art to take home with you, guided by gifted painter and muralist Kim Phillips; Learn to tie waist beads (the ultimate self-love gift that keeps on giving, 24/7/365), and get your own pair from the Motherland (!); while supplies last, visual art available for $10 per piece.
*Hear about our inaugural SISTERcircle Global Black Women’s Conference and community luncheon held November 2017 in GHANA; sign up to join the 2019 trip to Ghana.
*Enjoy positive vibes with positive people and love yo’ self!
