SUMMARY:Dungeons and Dragons for Adults 18+
DESCRIPTION:Dungeons and Dragons for Adults 18+\n2nd & 4th Saturdays\, 12-5pm\, beginning May 25\n\n\nFor adults 18+\, step into the realm of Dungeons & Dragons! Whether you’re a newbie or a veteran adventurer\, join us every 2nd and 4th Saturday for an epic afternoon of storytelling.\n\nBe a bard\, wizard\, or barbarian\, and tackle creative challenges with new friends. No experience needed\, just your creativity!\n\nLet the adventure begin!\n\nNo prior experience is necessary. This program is for adults 18+. \nWhat is Dungeons and Dragons?  \nD&D is one of many tabletop role-playing games\, in which players create and control fictional characters within a shared imaginary world. A Game Master guides the story and sets the scene\, while the players make decisions for their characters\, rolling dice to determine outcomes. TTRPGs encourage creativity\, teamwork\, and storytelling as players collaborate to overcome challenges and complete quests. \nModern D&D has veered away from the combat-heavy game it used to be. While it’s still possible to spend hours attacking monsters and finding loot\, many groups now tell stories of mystery\, intrigue\, horror\, or whimsy. \nWho are the game masters?  \nThis event is organized by Jeltje van Baren (yinnah@yahoo.com)\, who learned to play a few years ago and has been creating games for new players ever since. She will be assisted by a rotating group of diverse GMs from the local TTRPG community\, all of whom are used to patiently explaining the rules and keeping the game fun for everyone. \n\nhttps://lDungeons and Dragons for Adults 18+oom.ly/v5N-5J0

SUMMARY:La Cultura Cura! 
DESCRIPTION:La Cultura Cura!\n\n\nAugust 15-25\n\nGet ready\, Santa Cruz County! This August\, the heart of Veracruz beats in our streets. Dance\, music\, and heritage collide in a vibrant cultural fiesta. From master classes to dazzling performances\, immerse yourself in the healing power of Mexican folklorico arts.\n\n\n\nEsperanza del Valle\, Cabrillo College\, and Universidad Veracruzana present: Por el Reforzamiento de la Identidad Cultural – Reinforcing Cultural Identity.\nRead the blog post interview with Janet Johns and Ruby Vasquez that details their journey and vision.\n\n\n\nFrom August 15-25\, Santa Cruz County will pulsate with the vibrant traditions of Veracruz\, offering residents and visitors alike a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in Mexican folkloric arts. This vibrant program offers something for everyone – whether you’re a seasoned dancer\, a curious beginner\, or simply an appreciator of rich cultural traditions. By bringing these art forms to schools\, theaters\, and community spaces\, the conference aims to make the beauty of Mexican folkloric arts accessible to all of Santa Cruz County. \nFor more information on classes and performances\, visit Esperanza del Valle. \nYou can expect these highlights: \nDance and Music Classes: Twenty-four Ballet Folklórico del Puerto de Veracruz dancers and five Nematatlin de la Universidad Veracruzana musicians will lead classes for youth and adults\, from beginners to advanced practitioners. “We really want to encourage people to get out of their comfort zone and\, instead of being a spectator\, sign up and take a class\,” urges Ruby Vasquez\, emphasizing the event’s inclusivity. \nSchool Workshops: The visiting artists will bring their expertise directly to local students\, conducting workshops in selected PVUSD schools and after-school programs. \nGala Performances: Two distinct shows will showcase the diversity of Mexican dance and music. Ruby Vasquez explains\, “If you attend the gala performance at the Mello Center\, you’ll see ‘Rostros de Mexico\,’ featuring dances and music from different states in Mexico. The following weekend at the Crocker Theater\, ‘Raices del Pueblo’ will focus purely on the dances and music representing the state of Veracruz.” \nCommunity Events: Free events like “Todos Bailan Su Son” and a community Fandango (a party where people get together to dance\, to play and sing in a community setting) will invite everyone to participate in the joyous celebration of Mexican culture.
