Thank you! We can’t wait to see you at the event! \nABOUT THE BOOK + AUTHOR: \nStow away with Rick Steves for a glimpse into the unforgettable moments\, misadventures\, and memories of his 1978 journey on the legendary Hippie Trail. \nIn the 1970s\, the ultimate trip for any backpacker was the storied “Hippie Trail” from Istanbul to Kathmandu. A 23-year old Rick Steves made the trek\, and like a travel writer in training\, he documented everything along the way: jumping off a moving train\, making friends in Tehran\, getting lost in Lahore\, getting high for the first time in Herat\, battling leeches in Pokhara\, and much more. The experience ignited his love of travel and forever broadened his perspective on the world. \nThis book contains edited selections from Rick’s journal and travel photos with a 45-years-later preface and postscript reflecting on how the journey changed his life. Stow away with Rick Steves on the adventure of a lifetime through Turkey\, Iran\, Afghanistan\, Pakistan\, India\, and Nepal. \nYou know Rick Steves. Now discover the adventure that made him the travel writer he is today. \nSince 1973\, Rick Steves has spent about four months a year exploring Europe. His mission: to empower Americans to have European trips that are fun\, affordable\, and culturally broadening. Rick produces a best-selling guidebook series\, a public television series\, and a public radio show\, and organizes small-group tours that take over 30\,000 travelers to Europe annually. He does all of this with the help of more than 100 well-traveled staff members at Rick Steves’ Europe in Edmonds\, WA (near Seattle). When not on the road\, Rick is active in his church and with advocacy groups focused on economic and social justice\, drug policy reform\, and ending hunger. To recharge\, Rick plays piano\, relaxes at his family cabin in the Cascade Mountains\, and spends time with his son Andy\, daughter Jackie\, and his grandson…baby Atlas. Find out more about Rick at www.ricksteves.com and on Facebook. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShow time: 4:00 PM\, doors 3:15 PM\nTickets: $40\nAdvance tickets: www.buytickets.at/bookshopsantacruz\nEvent website: www.bookshopsantacruz.com/rick-steves

SUMMARY:Postpartum Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Postpartum Support International\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNEW SUPPORT GROUP!\n\n\n\nPostpartum Psychosis (PPP) is rare. It occurs in approximately 1 to 2 out of every 1\,000 deliveries.  After a PPP survivor’s symptoms have been stabilized\, peer support can be an important tool for recovery. Because PPP occurs less often than other perinatal mood disorders\, survivors can go their whole lives without meeting another PPP survivor.  In response\, PSI has created an online peer-to-peer support group for PPP survivors. This group is intended for those who are in recovery (no longer experiencing psychosis).   Whether your PPP experience was relatively recent or years ago\, you are welcome to attend our free\, online peer-to-peer support group.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here: https://www.postpartum.net/…/psi-online-support-meetings/\nFull Meeting Schedule

SUMMARY:March is Hummingbird Month at the UCSC Arboretum & Botanical Garden
DESCRIPTION:March is Hummingbird Month at the UCSC Arboretum & Botanical Garden\nDaily in March  \nThis time of year the Arboretum hosts both Anna’s and Allen’s hummingbirds\, the two most common species in Northern California. “The density of hummingbirds—the number per area in the Arboretum—is ridiculously high\,” says Bruce Lyon\, professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCSC. “You can watch them feeding on flowers\, you can watch their courtship\, you can watch them chasing different species. It’s a great opportunity to see some pretty amazing hummingbird biology.” \nIn celebration of this special time of year\, we invite you to visit the garden as much as possible! \nSee our webpage for a schedule of activities and more information about hummingbirds and the abundance of plants at the Arboretum that attract them. \nWe will also feature hummingbird merchandise and hummingbird attracting plants at our gift shop and nursery.
