Crafternoon
Crafternoon is a relaxed craft club on the fourth Sunday of each month for anyone who wants to make things and meet new people. This is an unstructured, bring-your-own-project kind of gathering or you can use some of our supplies. Drawing, knitting, collage, mending, writing, painting, and similar crafts are all welcome. There’s no class or instruction, just a comfortable space to work on something creative and connect with others. Come on your own or with friends!
Free to attend. Some Supplies are available. Optional donations help support the space, which can be made through the registration fee.

Resilience Club
Resilience Club: A Community Discussion Group
The resilience club is a community discussion group for El Sobrante and residents of Richmond, San Pablo and surrounding localities. We are here to discuss resilience not as a means only of survival, but as a way we can come to thrive in the places we inhabit.
Purpose
The purpose of this meeting is not to virtue signal, pose as an expert or pretend we know what is ‘right.’ It is to discuss, as members of a community, what we think resilience means, how we can help each other achieve this and how we can turn preparedness into a better way of being in the world.
This gathering invites open, grounded conversation about what resilience can look like in our local context. Topics may include:
Psychological resilience
Food systems and local food security
Shelter and housing
Materials (construction, textiles, food storage, tools)
Skills (building, farming, medicine, ecological stewardship, emergency response, critical thinking)
Personal wellness
Self-defense
Wildfire preparedness, natural disasters, and defensible space
