NEW DATE! SUNDAY AUGUST 2ND! While experiencing 200 Channels's biophilic regenerative-themed interior design, come create connections and community, and build a life-affirming culture in the Bay Area and beyond. Synergy is the interaction or cooperation of two or more entities to produce a combined result that is greater than the sum of their separate effects. By bringing together wonderful people, participants can make new friends and meet potential collaborators or clients, and deepen existing relationships. I hope we will begin working and playing together in a way that leads to powerful synergistic outcomes. For this gathering, I'm exploring alternating between mingling/self-directed conversation time and having speakers, performances, and introductions at the start of each hour. SCHEDULE (in the process of being built).... 6pm - Doors open and dinner is served You are welcome to come at 6pm even if you do not want to participate in the optional dinner. 7pm - Opening welcome, sound bath, poetry, & introductions 7:30 - Conversations & connections 8pm - Dialogue with Serge Gay Jr. and poetry 8:30 - Conversations & connections 9pm - Special guests, poetry, and introductions 9:30 - Conversations & connections 10pm - Closing words Afterwards - Conversations & connections You may arrive at any time in the event and leave when you want/need to.

LOGISTICS: LOCATION: This will take place at 200 Channels, the SF special events and performance venue connected to Monarch Nightclub and Pawn Shop Restaurant. The interior design was imagined, built, and installed by CreatingAS1. The aesthetic story is about regeneration. One side depicts the relationship between forests and water, while the other depicts how fire and decay are also part of new beginnings. Throughout the space are representations of different plants and creatures. The interior design uses eco-materials including rice straw MDF, Hempwood, plant-based resin, reclaimed wood, and reclaimed glass. www.instagram.com/creatingas1 Enter through The Emperor's Drawing Room of Monarch Club, which is on 6th St just south of Mission St. (Look for the Emperor's Drawing Room sign on the side of the building and right over the doorway, it says "Music and Cocktails, Where the Fabulous Play.") Check in with security and our amazing greeter for the evening. Transportation and Parking: - 200 Channels is a short 8 minute walk from the Powell BART Station (walk down 5th St to Mission St, then walk on Mission St to 6th St) - If you drive, we often find street parking in the area. - The Fifth & Mission / Yerba Buena Parking Garage includes Bicycle Lockers as well. It is a great option if you prefer a parking structure for your car or bike. It is a 5 minute walk from the venue. https://www.sfmta.com/garages-lots/fifth-mission-yerba-buena-garage https://maps.app.goo.gl/NNkYyeyJFLTzbWvs9 - There is a Lyft Bike station on Mission St and Mint St between 5th and 6th, as well as on Howard St between 5th and 6th - There is a Bikehangar at 4th & Minna. A Bikehangar is a public multi-space, one-door bike parking facility located in a car parking space. https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/bike/bike-parking I will be serving vegetarian food. If you want something more, there are many other nearby food options including The Bite Mediterranean restaurant and Miss Saigon Vietnamese restaurant. Both of those are located at 6th and Mission. I would also recommend Saluhall SF, the food court connected to Ikea on Market St.
