Chasing Air is a fierce reminder to stay curious, keep dreaming, and dare to soar—no matter where you start.
Allison Blanchet has always lived at full throttle. From racing down small-town Georgia streets on her bicycle in the 1960s and ’70s to feeling the rush of adrenaline in a Corvette, in the paddock of the Daytona International Speedway, and in the heights of the Himalayas, Allison has led a life fueled by adventure.
But after a life-altering accident, Allison faces the toughest challenge of all: learning how to find peace, joy, and meaning amid grief and loss. Her journey is a poignant reflection on how life’s deepest struggles can also offer its most profound adventures—and how love, loss, and triumph are inextricably connected.

All celebrants are welcomed with complimentary dinner and warm community spirit at an event that traces its roots back to 1998, when Rosemarie Hocker first dreamed up the idea for a shared birthday celebration at Sea Ranch. Her original salmon menu will once again be featured, paying tribute to the tradition she sparked nearly three decades ago.
Those interested in volunteering can contact the Gualala Arts Center at 707.884.1138. Come share a meal, swap stories, and celebrate the decades that connect us all.

The workshop offers a fresh take on quilting by encouraging attendees to transform repurposed clothing into expressive, improvisational quilts.

The focus is on process, play, and personal storytelling through cloth.
