✨ARTIST SHOWCASE ALERT✨
Owls started showing up in my murals in 2020 as a need to share joy and beauty during difficult times. The joy I saw in people’s faces when experiencing these quirky feathered creatures, led me to create smaller, one-of-a-kind Owls for people to have in their homes.
Owl/Búhos bring together bits and pieces of local newspapers and patterns of color to create a new reality – one full of love, healing and hope… one much needed in today’s world.
BIO: @ella_owls
Named after her maternal grandmother, ELLA NOE (she/her) is a Latinx Eastern European Jewish Visual Artist based in San Francisco. Born to Romanian parents she was raised all over South America and after moving from country to country her first half of her life, landed in San Francisco in 2003 and made it her home.
Ella has been involved with Art her whole life, either as an Artist, an Art teacher or working and volunteering for Art and Human Rights organizations. As an Artist she first connected to the world through dance, storytelling, acting and poetry, and later, through the Visual Arts (painting, drawing, photography and collaging). In San Francisco Ella started collaborating with Artists from other media; dancers, musicians and story tellers; and through painting and dialogue explored all that connects us in our Arts and our search for meaning

‼️NEW CLASS‼️Early Morning Bootcamp is a high-intensity, strength-based workout built to wake up your whole system. Expect intentionally structured weight circuits, short cardio pushes, and breathwork that keeps you focused and grounded in your body when the burn starts to get spicy. You’ll move through full-body, functional strength work designed to build lean muscle and leave you feeling strong (not just smoked), then finish with core and a reset-style cooldown. We’ll be using a mix of dumbbell, kettlebell, and bodyweight exercises. It’s gonna get your heart and muscles pumping so you can start your day feeling like you just kicked some butt.
✨Lev Ami (he/him)✨
Lev is a personal trainer, yoga teacher, and clinical psychology graduate student who’s passionate about helping others move well and connect with their bodies in a way that meaningfully carries over to real life. He’s ACE Certified and USA Weightlifting certified, with a coaching style that’s equal parts good energy and clear cues: challenging, but always approachable. When he’s not training or in class, you can usually find him sweating profusely while doing yoga, getting swatted in pickup basketball games, trying to learn the meaning of life by reading cool psychology books, or adventuring in nature with his braver and more handsome friends.
🌏 Clean Up & Community 🌏
A huge thank you 🙏 to everyone who joined us at the Indian Rock and Mortar Rock clean up this week. We came. We cleaned. We joked. We partied.
It was amazing to be a part of caring for the land with such excellent humans.
Yeah, we say it a lot. But you all are the reason we do what we do 💜, and it’s refreshing to have such epic reminders.

Are you big wall-curious?? Maybe you need a refresher? Or perhaps you just want something to do this weekend? Come get all the big wall deets from Mark Hudon (@markhudon_ ) 🤩🤩🤩
Tomorrow, 04/23 6pm-9pm, is a WOMEN’S ONLY Big Wall clinic & Saturday, 04/25 12pm-3pm, is open to all!
Big wall climbing is all about systems - anchors, hauling, changing leads, setting up a portaledge, anchor architecture, planning, packing a haul bag and lowering out a haul bag are all critical systems to have figured out before you head up. We will discuss moving up in our aiders as well as cleaning straight up and diagonal pitches.
PRE-REQUISITE: You should also have a basic idea of how things work to climb a wall such as ascending a rope safely, moving about on an anchor with daisies and multi pitch climbing.
Please bring pencil and paper to take notes and something to take photos of the systems.
