DIVING INTO DIVERSITY: Building Belonging Beneath the Surface

On June 25, Niko Kowell, founder of Narwhal Divers in San Francisco, joins us for Diving Into Diversity — a conversation exploring the ways water can challenge us, transform us, connect us, and sometimes even help us rediscover ourselves. And fittingly, this evening is also a celebration: One full year of Ocean Hoptimism. The communities that have formed around these gatherings. Pride Month and the people helping expand who feels welcome in ocean spaces. And the simple fact that even in difficult times, people still keep showing up for the sea — and for each other. Join us at Faction Brewing for an evening of conversation, community, reflection, and ocean joy along the Bay. And some birthday cake too! Bring friends. Bring stories. Bring the people who still believe gathering together matters. Because one year later, that belief feels more important than ever. Thursday, June 25, 7-8pm FREE and open to all!
