Join Gallery QI for "Three Echologies: Scene 2: Planetary Echologies," a performative piece by Unidad de Conciencias Colectivas Terrestres (Terrestrial Collective Consciousness Unit), Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0 and *particle group* from QI Principal Investigator Ricardo Dominguez. Date | Thursday, May 19 at 5 p.m. Location | UCSD Atkinsons Hall Free Event, RSVPs requested to galleryqi@ucsd.edu. “Scene 2: Planetary Echologies” explores climate borders, environmental degradation and "ecosophy," a philosophy dedicated to studying links between social relations, human subjectivity and the natural world, through the medium of art. The performers find inspiration in the book “The Three Ecologies,” in which the psychoanalyst, philosopher and playwright Félix Guattari defines ecology at three different scales: planet-wide crises like the pandemic and climate change, intermediate-level relations like micro-politics and micro- and molecular scales within the body.

Ayurveda has a deep understanding of how the causes of imbalances relate to the effects experienced on different levels of the person: Physical, psychological, spiritual. Treatments in Ayurveda therefore treat the person as a whole. SamaDosha SamaDhatu SamaAgnishcha Mala kriyaha Prasanna- atmenindriya Manah swastha Ityabhidhiyate –Acharya Sushruta This definition of health translates to: health is when all systems in the body: digestion, elimination, emotional, sensory system, and spiritual self are synchronized with the environment.

After a two-year hiatus, the Spreckels Organ Society, a non-profit organization curating concerts and performances in the heart of Balboa Park, on the historic Spreckels Organ, is proud to announce the return of its the very popular Insider’s Tour. The tour enables organ fans to take a very rare “close up” look at the inner workings of the largest open air musical instrument in the world. Included in this tour is an opportunity to enter the organ’s Wind Chest —the “Heartbeat of the Organ”— where very few people are allowed into this pressurized vault portion of the instrument. Organ Curator Dale Sorenson will welcome guests and present a brief seminar on exactly how the organ operates. A continental style breakfast will be provided. Guests will then be treated to a private performance on the instrument by San Diego Civic Organist Raul Prieto Ramirez. Finally, guests will then be ushered on tours inside the organ itself to see up-close the more than 5,000 pipes that make up this amazing instrument. Then, they will be allowed to enter the pressurized Wind Chest where Sorenson will provide a unique insight rarely seen by the public. Date | Saturday, May 14, starting at 10 a.m. Location | Balboa Park Get tickets here! Member admission: $40 Non-members admission: $50 Tickets can be obtained at the Pavilion during and after their regular Sunday 2:00 p.m. performances at the Membership Table next to the stage.

Join us as we look behind the scenes through a colorful slide show at the pioneering legacy of John Spreckels with historian Dr. Sandra Bonura. She authored the newly released biography, "Empire Builder: John D. Spreckels and the Making of San Diego." About the book: After “discovering” the bankrupt village of San Diego, in 1887, he left everything behind to follow his heart. His moves were so decisive and sweeping that within a few years, he virtually controlled the majority of all San Diego’s industry. He was at the forefront of innovation and at the top of the 20th century, one in fifteen San Diegans worked for a Spreckels-owned company. After this presentation, you will wonder: “Why is this empire builder all but forgotten today in San Diego?” Date | Saturday, May 14 at noon Location | Online via Zoom Register here for free!
