UPDATE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO A VIRTUAL SUPPORT GROUP MEETING DUE TO RAIN IN THE FORECAST! Please email LADN@la-dn.org for the Zoom link!
We hope you will join us this Saturday, March 23rd from 1-2pm on the beach in Malibu for a relaxing in-person support group meeting!
That's right -- LADN goes to Malibu! We suggest parking in the lot by Gladstone's Restaurant (17300 Pacific Coast Hwy, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272) and then heading down the ramp to the beach from the parking lot. We'll have some balloons so you can spot us! Parking is $7, which we are happy to reimburse.
In our experience, this stretch of beach tends to be pretty empty in the colder months, so hopefully this will be a peaceful, calm experience! Being by the ocean is supposed to be good for the nervous system after all!
This time of year, the weather could be warm or cold! But we will bring some shade coverage if it's sunny and blankets if it's cold. However, we do encourage you to bring your own sun protection, jackets, & blankets if you're able! We will have some camp chairs and quilts for sitting on the ground, but please feel free to bring your own!
This is a little different than our usual monthly support group, but we hope it will be a fun adventure! PLEASE RSVP here if you think you'd like to join us! (No worries at all if you end up not being able to make it, but please RSVP if you're interested.)
Note: After struggling to find an outdoor venue that would work on LA's west side, we decided to go full SoCal and just go to the beach! As we attempt to branch out further afield than Pasadena, feel free to email us if you know of a good outdoor space where we could host an event!
A note about COVID/general safety: We will be outside and expect everyone to take the necessary precautions to maintain everyone's health. If you have any (contagious) symptoms, please do not attend. Masking is optional. By attending this event, you agree not to hold LADN liable for any risks (COVID or otherwise) associated with gathering. Thank you for understanding, and please feel free to reach out with any questions.
