Read on to view the frequented and most popular events based in San Diego (formatted in an accessible calendar), our very own Rambler teams’ favorite tracks (local artists, the classics, & releases you’ve never heard of) findable on curated Spotify playlists, poetry to renew your spirit, and an anonymously interactive, live journal all updated monthly! Santa Cruz, Berkely, and New York will be joining us soon!
Monthly Mix Curated Just for You<3
To— by: Percy Bysshe Shelley
One word is too often profaned
For me to profane it,
One feeling too falsely disdained
For thee to disdain it;
One hope is too like despair
For prudence to smother,
And pity from thee more dear
Than that from another.
I can give not what men call love,
But wilt thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the Heavens reject not,—
The desire of the moth for the star,
Of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow?
Dear Diary…
This is where you come in! Be creative, or don’t, it’s your platform, and your prerogative to tell us what’s on your mind this February. Remember— it’s all anonymous, so share any unspoken confessions! Our monthly prompt is:
What does personal accountability look like in your creative process? What does it mean to show up with intention, artistically?
Upcoming (and recurring) Events in San Diego!
