Join us for Pathway to Possibilities at Europa Village, an Autism Benefit Gala supporting the Autism Society of America, a leading organization dedicated to connecting the Autism community to the resources and opportunities they need to live fully. This event reflects our commitment to helping individuals with autism thrive, supporting students in our own community as they build confidence, job skills, and independence, while expanding that mission on a national level through our partnership. This elegant evening will bring together community leaders, philanthropists, advocates, and local businesses for a night of connection, impact, and possibility of celebrating the Autism community and the mission of the Autism Society of America. We are especially honored to have students from Chaparral High School’s Workability Program serving guests throughout the night — a powerful example of inclusion and community engagement in action. Your participation helps support advocacy, education, resources, and community programming that promote dignity, equity, and meaningful inclusion for individuals with autism.

Rooted: A Workshop in Image and Language is an interdisciplinary workshop that invites participants to explore several avenues of their creativity through poetry, watercolor painting, and expressive writing. Moving between poetry, visual art, and personal narrative, the workshop creates an accessible and supportive space for creative expression without requiring prior experience. The session begins with a short poem and a prompt, followed by a brief free write. Participants then transition into painting a watercolor, led by Artful Minds, using simple, guided techniques that emphasize process over perfection. After painting, we will read a second poem and a prompt, and once again, participants will free write. If time allows, we will close the workshop by having those who would like to share one of their two writings read to the group. Participants will leave the workshop with two flash pieces and a completed watercolor painting. Please bring a notebook and writing instrument; all painting tools and materials will be provided along with water and snacks. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram
