Join Frank Klima, RN, Emergency Services Supervisor at South Peninsula Hospital, for a practical and empowering session on responding to emergency situations in public settings. This presentation will cover how to assist someone who has fallen, basic first aid and CPR awareness, Stop the Bleed principles, and guidance on when and how to call 911. Designed for community members of all backgrounds, this session will help participants feel more confident and prepared to act in critical moments while waiting for emergency responders to arrive.
After, we’ll have an hour of Integral Yoga led by Kali Tanaya. As always, free soup and bread will be provided, and all are welcome!

The Nettle Dress – A Film Screening

Friday, January 30 | doors open at 5pm

Join us at the Porcupine Theater for an evening to honor Nettle and all it makes possible with a screening of beautiful documentary “The Nettle Dress”!

Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand from foraged stinging nettles, all picked on the South Downs near Brighton. This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the greenest of slow fashion. It’s also his medicine, the way he survives the death of his wife that left him and his four children bereft.

Doors open at 5:00, Carla Cope discusses working with nettle fibers at 5:30 and movie begins at 5:45. Free to Porcupine members.
