2023 Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour Saturday and Sunday, May 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The San Dieguito Art Guild, a non-profit group, hosts their 26th annual Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour. This is a self-guided, driving tour on Saturday and Sunday, Mother’s Day weekend, May 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Tickets are good for both days and homes may be re-visited. Take your mom or best friends on a leisurely tour of the 8 North San Diego County homes where you can peruse more than 30 unique exhibits of locally made art, and relax in each unique coastal or inland garden. Artists from the San Dieguito Art Guild will be positioned in the gardens — showing and selling their paintings, ceramics, glass, gourd art, fiber arts, photography, jewelry, and much more. Free refreshments will be served at every stop. The tour includes an eclectic group of homes, gardens, and art studios. The tour will include a visit to the art studio of a watercolor artist/instructor, a stained-glass gate salvaged from a nearby property that was being torn down, and outdoor kitchen, a succulent maze, a large metal sculpture by Ricardo Breceda, vegetable garden beds, an extensive vineyard, and a variety of native and drought resistant plantings.. This two-day event is the major fund-raiser of the year for the San Dieguito Art Guild. Without funds from this tour the Guild would operate at a loss. Tickets are $35 per person and may be purchased at the Off Track Gallery (937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C-103, Encinitas), at OffTrackGallery.com, or at each home both days of the tour. Ticket sales begin in early April. Children 17 and under are free. This is a favorite tour of many San Diegans — many of whom take this tour year after year. In keeping with their Mission Statement, “The San Dieguito Art Guild is an organization dedicated to furthering artistic understanding and fostering artistic growth of members and the community at large by promoting interest, education, knowledge and skills in the visual arts”, 10% of the net proceeds from the tour will be awarded to several promising art students from MiraCosta College.

Deer Park Monastery, founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, announces its upcoming mindful music festival called "Rhythm of the Earth," a musical celebration of the power of community. The event will be held on April 15 from 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. PDT at Deer Park Monastery, located at 2499 Melru Lane, Escondido, California, and is designed to raise funds for the construction of a new monks’ residence. The festival will feature live music performed at stunning natural locations throughout the 400-acre monastery by a diverse group of talented artists, including Joe Reilly and the Community Gardeners; Free Cloud Collective, an all-star ensemble featuring Alex Cline; beat boxer Jerry Liang; Makeda and the World Beat Cultural Center Drum and Dance; Santa Cruz Symphony concertmaster Nigel Armstrong; Tim Redbird and the Red Warriors; The Triple Jam Band featuring Brother Peace; A Trio of Strings; and the Deer Park Monastic Choir. Attendees will also participate in various mindful activities throughout the day, such as walking meditation through the valley from one performance to the next, mindful eating with Vietnamese vegan banh mi sandwich, land blessing and consecrating the construction site ceremonies, a presentation about the monastery, and sitting meditation to close the evening in silence. "We're thrilled to host so many talented musicians from our community and welcome the public to the natural refuge of Deer Park," said Brother Phap Luu, a senior Dharma teacher and monk. “This will be a legendary moment.” All proceeds from the festival will benefit construction of the new monks’ residence, which will provide much-needed living space for the burgeoning community of monastics. For those unable to attend in person, a section of the festival will also be live-streamed from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Deer Park Monastery is a mindfulness practice center and monastery founded by the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, author, and peace activist, Thich Nhat Hanh. The monastery offers mindfulness retreats, long-term resident training in meditation, and public Days of Mindfulness on Sundays for people of all backgrounds.
