BRAILLE INSTITUTE FREE ONLINE WORKSHOPS – APRIL 2022

Braille Institute is a non-profit organization whose mission is to positively transform the lives of those with vision loss. We offer a broad range of free programs, classes and services serving thousands of students of all ages helping to demonstrate that vision rehabilitation is a beginning, not an end.

We serve the community from seven centers, and hundreds of community outreach locations throughout Southern California, and lead popular national programs like Braille Challenge and Cane Quest. Our staff and volunteers understand losing your vision can be scary, but we believe it is not the end of independence, but a new way of living.

A variety of free classes, workshops and support groups are available to help you or a loved one stay active, remain independent and enjoy connections with others.

Sign up for individual events, workshops and seminars – free and open to everyone. Register online or call our Educational Programs Manager, Tracy Alfino, at (805) 898-8312 Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm.

Santa Barbara Permaculture Network The Second Annual Eco Hero Award

The Santa Barbara Permaculture Network Eco Hero Award honors those who have committed themselves to work in service of the planet and its inhabitants for thirty years or more, with actual solutions and concrete ways forward that benefit many, often on a global scale.

Joining us to receive the award, Paul Stamets live via Zoom, with Louie Schwartzberg live in theater, it will be an exciting & interactive evening with time for questions from the audience. Paul & Louie will share their life’s work & passion for nature, and how they came to collaborate on projects together, including the amazing Fantastic Fungi book & film. Their work will awe & inspire you!

A special treat for the community will be beautiful time-lapse Moving Art photography of nature’s splendor on the outdoor wall of the Lobero Theatre, that Louie Schwartzberg also showed to audiences on the walls of the Vatican in Rome a few years ago. A reception for all ticket holders follows the evening talk.
