Wishes impact everyone involved—wish kids, families, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals, and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy. A wish experience: inspires and compels Make-A-Wish® San Diego to be creative when granting wishes and exceed the expectations of every wish kid. A wish drives Make-A-Wish® San Diego to make donated resources go as far as possible. The founding principle of Make-A-Wish® San Diego’s vision is to grant the wish of every eligible child.

Immerse Yourself in Japanese Culture with a Hands-On Kintsugi Experience: Join us for a captivating journey into the heart of Japanese culture with our unique Kintsugi Experience. Kintsugi, often called “golden joinery,” is more than just an art form; it’s a profound philosophy deeply rooted in Japanese culture. It treats the mending of broken pottery as an artful and spiritual practice, celebrating imperfections and the beauty of resilience. This philosophy aligns closely with the essence of Wabi-Sabi, which embraces life’s imperfections. Our Kintsugi Experience offers you the chance to not only learn about this rich cultural tradition but also to experience it firsthand. You’ll delve into the history and philosophy of Kintsugi, gaining a profound understanding of how it represents life’s journey. Then, it’s your turn to roll up your sleeves and try it for yourself, making two pieces of kintsugi to take home and enjoy. In our studio, you’ll receive all the materials needed, and our experienced instructor will guide you through the hands-on process. As you mend your own piece of pottery, you’ll discover not only the art of Kintsugi but also the art of self-acceptance and resilience. This isn’t just a class; it’s a cultural immersion and a transformative experience. By participating in our Kintsugi Experience, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and the profound wisdom that lies within this ancient art form. Materials are included, so all you need to bring is your curiosity and a willingness to engage with a culture that cherishes imperfections as part of life’s beauty. #morethanwabisabi Ages 12+ are welcome. If this class is full, join our Interest List. If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.

It takes a village to make the music we love. We remember the singers, songwriters, composers, instrumentalists, producers and journalists that we lost in 2024.

This year's race — which includes beloved stars, up-and-coming talents and a pair of songs from a successful but controversial musical — feels wide open. That doesn't mean all the songs are equally worthy.
