5 Mental Health Caucus Meeting & Picnic - New Members Welcome Mental Health Caucus Meeting & Picnic - New Members Welcome September 5, 2021 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm Freedom Park, 2601 Jacaranda Pl, San Diego, CA 92104, USA Interested in the intersection between capitalism and our mental health? Join us at the mental health caucus to explore the ways our social, political, and economic systems impact our mental health... and what we can do about it! At the MHC, we believe that inner healing and systemic change complement and fuel one another, catalyzing progress towards a more just, sustainable, and equitable world. In each meeting, we begin with a brief meditation followed by a guided discussion. Afterward, we have an optional bring-your-own-food picnic in the park for those who want to stay and socialize. This month, we will explore the ideas surrounding collective joy, including past experiences, barriers to achieving it, gratitude, and more. We will also have a surprise activity to practice collective joy together. Freedom Park is large, please use this link for more specific instructions on how to find us! •	6 Leadership Council Meeting Leadership Council Meeting September 6, 2021 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwsfuuprz0tGNLITzTwTyDlVmjS3ANQUHxO Meeting of the Leadership Council of DSA San Diego.
