Marin Brunch Club: Malibu Farm (Tiburon)

Sun, Jul 12, 7:30 PM
From Marin Brunch Club
5.0

Note: all RSVPs begin on the waitlist. See below for how to confirm your spot. Good food, good people, good views. Table for six. Malibu Farm in Tiburon is one of those places that makes a Sunday feel right: sitting on the water, relaxed and enjoying scenic views. **What to expect:** Brunch at 12:30, six seats, and a leisurely Sunday vibe with good food and great conversation. After brunch, if the mood strikes, the Tiburon waterfront is a perfect for a stroll. **Who this is for:** You’d rather go somewhere worth going than just somewhere convenient. You like good atmosphere, even better company, and a Sunday that feels restorative. We’re growing a small group of regulars — people who genuinely look forward to seeing each other. Hope you’ll join us. **To reserve your spot:** All attendees will initially be placed on a **waitlist**. As this event has limited space not all waitlisted guests will be moved to the “**Going**” list. Once you receive my direct message, you will be moved to the “**Going**” list only after your deposit* is received. *There is a $20 deposit to secure your spot. All deposits will be returned to you at brunch or if you cancel with more than 24 hrs notice. Why the hold? Small groups only work when everyone shows up. This helps keeps us accountable to each other. Thank you for understanding!

 Pigeon First Aid & Companion Animal Care

Pigeon First Aid & Companion Animal Care

Sun, Jul 12, 6:00 PM
From Direct Action Everywhere: People Who Love Animals
4.9

What if you could spend one afternoon directly changing the lives of animals who desperately need our help? Join us in San Francisco for a unique, hands-on experience where you'll learn how to rescue injured pigeons, provide life-changing first aid, and support companion animals living alongside our unhoused neighbors. Every day, pigeons in San Francisco suffer from a hidden danger: string, fishing line, hair, and other debris that wrap tightly around their toes and feet, causing immense pain, infections, and sometimes the loss of entire limbs. During this event, we'll teach you how to safely spot, catch, and help these incredible birds before releasing them back to their families and flocks. We'll also be carrying food and toys to share with companion animals belonging to our unhoused neighbors because compassion doesn't stop with one species. This event is about building a kinder city for all animals. Whether you're a lifelong animal advocate or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this is your chance to turn empathy into action. You'll leave with new skills, amazing stories, and the incredible feeling that comes from knowing you made someone's world a little better. No experience necessary. We'll provide all the training and supplies. Just bring: ![❤️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t6c/1/16/2764.png) Compassion ![👟](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t9d/1/16/1f45f.png) Comfortable shoes ![🐾](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tde/1/16/1f43e.png)A willingness to help animals who are too often ignored Come discover just how much good one afternoon can do. **ARRIVE ON TIME!** We’ll begin promptly at 11am with a brief about essential safety and training.

Yoga & hike at Redwood Regional Park!

Fri, Jul 17, 11:30 PM
From Weekly Hikes at Redwood Regional Park and more
4.9

🌿 Yoga & Hike at Redwood Regional Park Join us for an evening of movement, mindfulness, nature, and connection. We'll gather at 4:30 PM on the grassy area across from Canyon Meadow Parking Lot for a casual meet-and-greet. Everyone is invited to introduce themselves and share one or two things that brought them joy this week before we welcome our yoga instructor for the day. We'll begin with a gentle introduction to standing yoga poses and mindful movement. No yoga mat is needed—just wear comfortable clothing and bring layers for the hike afterward. The session is designed to be welcoming for all experience levels. We're delighted to have Sheena guiding our yoga practice. Community contributions help fairly compensate our instructor for sharing her time and expertise and make it possible to continue offering wellness experiences like these in the future. If you'd like to support this growing community, donations of any amount are warmly appreciated and can be made directly on the day of the event or through the Pledge link. Your generosity helps create a sustainable space where people can improve their well-being, build meaningful relationships, and reconnect with nature together. Suggested contribution: $10–20 (completely optional). No one will be turned away due to financial circumstances. As this community continues to grow, we also ask that you RSVP thoughtfully. If you sign up, please make every effort to attend. Your reservation helps us plan appropriately and reserves a spot that another member might otherwise enjoy. If your plans change, please update your RSVP as soon as possible so someone else has the opportunity to join. Please come prepared with adequate water, appropriate footwear, and clothing suitable for changing weather conditions. Be respectful of fellow participants, the environment, and the shared experience. Participant Responsibility & Safety: By attending this event, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating and are responsible for your own health, safety, decisions, and personal belongings. Please hike and participate in yoga within your own abilities and comfort level. The organizers, volunteer hosts, and instructors are not responsible for injuries, accidents, losses, or emergencies that may occur during or in connection with this event. Thank you for helping us create a kind, respectful, and supportive community. We look forward to sharing the trail with you.
