A free, public workshop — no technical background needed. Artificial intelligence is no longer just getting better at narrow tasks — it's beginning to look general. Many researchers believe we're entering the early stages of the AGI transition: a period where AI systems start to match or exceed human abilities across a wide range of domains. This workshop explores what AGI actually means, how to think about it intuitively (without hype or jargon), and what this transition could mean for your job, your relationships, and your day-to-day life — much sooner than most people expect. Together, we'll explore questions like: What is AGI? How do experts define artificial general intelligence, and how is it different from today's AI tools? Work & Jobs: Which kinds of jobs are already being automated or transformed — and which ones experts believe are most likely to remain resilient? Human Connection: How is AI starting to replace or supplement roles once filled by coworkers, friends, tutors, therapists, and companions? Robots & the Physical World: What happens when advanced AI is paired with rapidly improving robotics — and which parts of the economy could change next? What you'll get: - A clear, beginner-friendly explanation of AGI and why it matters - Real-world examples of how AI is already reshaping work and social life - Live demos that highlight both impressive capabilities and emerging risks - Interactive discussion and exercises to test your own intuitions about the future Come ready to grapple with one of the biggest transitions humanity may ever face — a shift that could redefine not just how we work, but how we relate to each other, find meaning, and navigate a world increasingly shaped by intelligent machines.

Proceeds from the event directly benefit Achievement in Motion (AIM), supporting youth-focused programs that provide access, resources, and long-term opportunities within the community. “This is not a typical fundraiser or dinner event,” said organizers. “The Freedom Table is about creating space—for culture, for storytelling, and for community—while supporting meaningful work that extends far beyond the table.” The chef-led event will feature a collective of highly skilled culinary talent, including: Event Culinary Director Alex Carballo, a partner of Grand Restaurant Group and regenerative-minded chef whose work spans Stone Brewing World Bistro, Fox Point Farms, Nomada, and beyond. Known for building thoughtful, ingredient-driven menus rooted in sustainability, culture, and craft, Carballo brings a cohesive and intentional approach to the evening’s culinary experience. Chef David Lay Jr., brings plant-based, globally inspired cuisine, drawing bold influence from African and Middle Eastern flavors. Currently leading the kitchen at Kettle on Coast in Oceanside, Lay is recognized for his technique-driven cooking and layered flavor storytelling. Chef Cameron Dixon, Chef de Cuisine at VUE at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, contributes a coastal California perspective with Baja-inspired cuisine and a strong emphasis on community and collaboration, reflected in his “Chef & Friends” series. Chef MaryAnn Green adds a dynamic and expressive culinary voice, known for blending creativity, comfort, and refined technique into dishes that feel both grounded and elevated. Chef Khine Moore is Chef de Cuisine at Juniper & Ivy and The Crack Shack, and founder of Mise en Block. Moore’s work bridges culinary culture, design, and innovation, pushing boundaries while building legacy-driven creative expression. Chef Shellie Robinson, Executive Chef of California English in Sorrento Valley and 2026 San Diego Magazine “Best Chef” nominee, is known for elevated California-English cuisine that blends bold flavor, creativity, and a warm, high-touch dining experience. The evening begins with a cocktail hour on TERI’s Old Oak Grove, where guests can explore a curated art installation and engage in conversation under the historic oak trees of the Twin Oaks Valley. From there, attendees will move through intimate, indoor gallery spaces before gathering on TERI’s Brickyard Terrace for an outdoor seated dining experience. Live entertainment will unfold throughout the evening, creating a layered and intentional guest experience. Tickets for The Freedom Table include a tasting menu, cocktail hour with a hosted bar, outdoor seated dinner, live entertainment, curated art installations, and complimentary parking. The event is intentionally limited to preserve an intimate, high-quality experience.

What started as a small, intentional space for conversation quickly evolved into a meaningful annual tradition. By 2024, the Saulsberrys were honored with the official Juneteenth proclamation for the City of San Marcos, recognizing the impact and importance of their work in the community. In 2025, the celebration expanded into a public, festival-style event at California State University, San Marcos, welcoming a broader audience and supporting nonprofit partners through ticketed experiences. In 2026, this evolution continues with The Freedom Table, a curated culinary and storytelling experience. Learn more at couplesunfiltered.com/Juneteenth.
