Canyon Sages August Update 

Here we are in August, sometimes too hot, sometimes too humid. However, the Sages Room at the Community House is Air Conditioned and just right. So spend the summer with The Sages and join in on their fun offerings and activities. The TCC holds regular classes for body, heart and soul. Come share. The classes are Sages sponsored, but open to all. 

The Fall Class Calendar is open to new classes and ideas. If you have an interesting subject to share in a class, workshop or event that would benefit Sages, please reach out. 

Book Talk- Linda Ballou is offering authors’ talks every other month starting in September. If you have a Topanga author’s book to share, please let her know. Send submissions to [email protected].

The “Topanga Gardener” talk by Sarah Priest was well attended with Hannah Wear also sharing her interesting story: native girl talks native plants. Sarah shared her love of Topanga natives, soil types, plus the unique Topanga conditions to consider when planning your Topanga garden. Local native plants are her favorite however she is open to helping cultivate ornamentals, fire protective or edible plants. Sarah may be back by popular demand to guide in planning Fall gardens. Do contact Sarah for help in your garden. “Create a beautiful garden and you will always live in one” Sarah tells us. Sarah Priest Estate Staging
