Los maestros de San Diego planean su primera huelga en 30 años el 26 de febrero, acusando al distrito de no cumplir con los estándares de personal de educación especial y de no brindar servicios a los estudiantes con discapacidades.

Lavande Vitality House, a community-focused wellness destination centered around healing, connection and personal transformation, will celebrate its grand reopening on Friday, August 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. following an extensive renovation that introduces new healing spaces, an organic café, an expanded outdoor sanctuary and enhanced experiences for the community. The free grand reopening celebration will invite guests to experience the newly transformed space through live music, 14 local pop-up vendors, mini tarot readings, healing sessions, giveaways, food and beverage offerings, and opportunities to connect with Lavande’s community of healers and facilitators. The event will include a special talk from founder Krystia Rae beginning at 1 p.m., where she will share the vision behind Lavande, introduce members of the wellness community and celebrate the next chapter of the space. Guests can reserve their spot in advance through Lavande Vitality House’s event calendar. The first 50 registered attendees will receive curated wellness gift bags featuring crystals, self-care products and other local offerings. The renovation marks a new chapter for Lavande Vitality House with thoughtfully designed spaces created to support healing, reflection and connection. The refreshed property now features a rose quartz healing room, three elevated healing rooms for one-on-one sessions, and a new outdoor sanctuary complete with an outdoor shower, soaking tub for sacred bath rituals, infrared sauna, firepit and quiet zone designed for moments of rest and renewal. At the center of the renovation is the new rose quartz cave, a community-created space infused with intention and collective energy. During the renovation, community members contributed personal prayers, love letters and messages of hope that were placed into a time capsule within the room. Guests also contributed crystals carrying their own intentions, which were incorporated into the space as a symbol of shared connection and collective healing. Lavande’s expanded offerings also include a new organic café serving thoughtfully crafted, whole-food options designed to nourish the body and mind. The menu features signature beverages such as the Blueberry Dream Latte and Salted Maple Cloud, along with grab-and-go meal options soon to be available, including smoothie bowls, toasts, soups and small bites with vegan and gluten-free options. “Our vision for Lavande has always been to create a space where people can reconnect with themselves, find community and experience healing in a way that feels authentic to who they are,” said Krystia Rae, founder of Lavande Vitality House. “This reopening represents the next evolution of that vision – a place where people can come exactly as they are and leave feeling more connected, inspired and empowered.” Lavande Vitality House aims to redefine what healing can look like by creating an inclusive environment where personal growth, beauty and transformation are accessible to all. Following the reopening, Lavande Vitality House will continue offering healing sessions, workshops and community events designed to support guests on their personal wellness journeys.

The legend continues...

Seating Begins at 6 p.m. Music from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Call (858) 578-8800 for reservations! CHECK THIS VIDEO OUT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iYlEE5KHEo About Adam Wolff Adam Wolff has been playing the piano for most of his life. Starting at the age of 8, he spent ten years studying classical piano performance, music theory, and creative music expression. Raised in New York and Chicago, he returned to New York City in the 80s and spent many years playing music full-time in Manhattan. While living in New York, Wolff studied with several great pianists: Barry Harris (Keeper of the Bebop Flame), Mike Longo (Musical Director for Dizzy Gillespie), and Kenny Werner (Author of Effortless Mastery and a global music legend). He also performed/recorded with many great jazz players including Victor Lewis, Calvin Hill, Rebecca Franks, and others. He was fortunate to record with two of Ahmad Jamal’s drummers: Vernel Fournier and Frank Gant. (Vernel Fournier is credited with developing the iconic drumbeat used in Jamal’s recording of “Poinciana” in the 1950s.) During this time, Wolff also taught music at the Johnny Colon School of Music in East Harlem, as well as playing in clubs, restaurants, cafes, and private engagements throughout the New York City region. In 1987, he was approached by Long Island University in Brooklyn and offered a full music scholarship. He received a degree with honors in 1990. Relocating to San Diego in the 1990s, Adam Wolff performed with different groups, ranging from jazz to popular dance music to creative expression performances. In 2004, he co-founded Blue44, a music collective with a distinctive theme of “ambient grooves”. Wolff’s music contains key elements of excitement and hard-swinging, soulful, creative musical expression. These elements come through in all his performances.

The legend continues… MERCEDES MOORE BAND returns to Golden Island Dim Sum & Asian Cuisine for the 271st installment of Dim Sum & Jazz - one of San Diego's longest-running weekly live music dining experiences! CHECK THIS VIDEO OUT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGZeUoIZXgc Seating begins at 6 p.m. Music is from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Call (858) 578-8800 for reservations Mercedes Moore will be joined by: Joe Amato- Guitar Steve Pandis - Bass Stephen Hodges - Drums *Photo credits to Nick Abadilla for SoCal Boogie Magazine About Mercedes Moore ”From the moment Mercedes Moore takes the stage you can’t look away. She welcomes you to the show, thanks you for coming, and the band rips into its opening chords. As dancers rush to the floor, the smile on Mercedes’ face grows more radiant; you’re in her world and nothing else matters. You might think she was destined to do this, but you’d be wrong. Moore grew up doubting her skills, “I didn’t think that I could sing.” She says. “I didn’t think it was possible.” That was then, this is now. Today, fronting her own band, Mercedes works hard to be more than a voice. She wants fans to feel the music, the way she feels the music. Watching faces in the crowd on this night, as Mercedes swings through an extensive playlist of ballads, blues, and soul shakers, it’s obvious she has them right where she wants them. As a nine-time San Diego Music Award nominee, Moore performs regularly with some of Southern California’s premier musicians. When asked, Moore is straightforward about the multitude of players. “It just makes you a better singer.” She smiles. “And different people have different strengths. Plus, I want to learn, so I can be better.” It appears to be working. Mercedes Moore is currently juggling four major projects and her music can range from blues, gospel, and R&B and swing. This does not take into consideration the assortment of duo and trio sets, the occasional jazz venture, and an array of impromptu performances with local and visiting artists. “ Mercedes Moore Socials https://www.mercedesmooreband.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mercedesmooreband https://www.instagram.com/mercedesmooreband/ About Golden Island Golden Island Dim Sum & Asian Cuisine is a 365 seat restaurant and music venue that serves fresh, hand-made, authentic Dim Sum all day every day, with a great selection of authentic asian cuisine to choose from.
