The series opens on Sunday, June 14, with a local debut by the Rodriguez Brothers Quintet, who will play their own Afro-Cuban jazz in honor of Miles Davis’s 100th birthday. Davis constantly pushed boundaries and absorbed global traditions. In this heartfelt tribute, the Rodriguez Brothers carry the tradition forward, reinterpreting the legend’s iconic works through today’s Afro-Cuban jazz language—blending Havana’s rhythmic fire with the spirit of innovation that Davis embodied. The band features brothers Michael Rodriguez on trumpet and Robert Rodriguez on piano, Carlitos Del Puerto on bass, Jimmy MacBride on drums, and Luis Conte on percussion.

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Join us for a weekly gathering rooted in stillness, compassion, and creative expression. Each session begins with a gentle metta (loving-kindness) meditation, guiding us inward to cultivate peace, for ourselves and for the heavy world around us. From that grounded place, we’ll move into a writing prompt designed to open the heart, quiet the mind, and give voice to what longs to be written. This is a space for writers of all levels, meditators and non-meditators alike. Come as you are. Write what arises. Share if you wish. Proceeds from this weekly class will go to vulnerable local families being targeted by ICE. The TIAS, Take Inspired Action Siempre, extend care and support to the vulnerable and at-risk in Solana Beach and Encinitas during this assault on our immigrant communities. The TIAS mission is to build stronger, safer, and more inclusive communities by providing those in need with what they need, when they need it. Let’s gather in the spirit of peace.
