INTUITIVE ORACLE TRAINING – SPRING 2021 – The Moon Deck

INTUITIVE ORACLE TRAINING 

Strengthen Your Intuition
Harness The Power of Ritual
and Become a Fluent Reader
of The Moon Deck Oracle

March 14 – May 2, 2021
(new moon – new moon)
8 Weeks, Every Sunday, 12PM PST

INTUITIVE ORACLE is an 8-week live and online training program, with author of The Moon Deck, Aarona Leá. For those who are ready to dissolve self-doubt and embrace an intuitive lifestyle with deep trust, practice sacred self-care and intentional rituals, and learn to be a fluent and confident reader of The Moon Deck oracle for yourself and others.

For 8 weeks straight you will experience what it means to witness and to be witnessed in a supportive community – with empowered vulnerability, authentic leadership, daily ritual, healthy boundaries, and embodied presence. We are collectively in unique times, and your medicine is needed now more than ever.

Together we will explore a dynamic roadmap created specifically to enhance your intuitive nature, empower your inner guidance, and move through life validating your body’s inherent wisdom rather than dismissing this powerful and loving inner voice.

You will also begin to more clearly recognize and interpret the way in which Spirit and the world around you reveal signs and symbols as directive winks to guide your path forward. All while training to be an intuitive oracle in life and of The Moon Deck as we navigate these unique times with clear vision and inspired action.

Whether you’re ready to expand and nurture your personal life or your professional work, this program is for the curious, the sensitive empaths, the healers, the card readers, the teachers, the artists, the therapists, the coaches, and anyone ready to transform old self-doubt into clear soul-trust with a new and improved toolkit. Show up human, and love yourself through it all – this is a space where we value honest growth together so that our intuition and sense of self thrives in both our inner and outer worlds.

Your intuition is here to lovingly steer you forward rather than to be dissected and picked apart. Once you become attentive enough to hear your intuition, you will feel the courage to listen and act on it which is a claim to true self-love. Intuition is a muscle you will strengthen by tuning in, listening, and validating what you feel. Our inner-dialogue and outer-experience begins to drastically shift as we tend to our emotional and spiritual wellbeing with supportive tools, rituals, and community.  

The world needs us, the sensitive ones, the deep breed, the feelers. Now is the time to better understand and more deeply love this very part of who you are. There is immense power in the knowing, and the tools we will learn together will activate important boundaries and your unique gifts so that you feel grounded, present, and trusting of your intuition, your voice, and your medicine. Once this is in place and integrated, it can never be taken away.

Hello there beauty,

Thank you for being here and for learning more about the Intuitive Oracle Training. The themes we cover are near and dear to my heart. They will guide you to be a more present space holder, to practice empowered vulnerability in a safe container, and to enhance your intuitive skills.

I personally understand the heaviness of living with self-doubt and acute sensitivity, which can sometimes get in the way of our intuition and lead to some sticky lessons. However, I’ve also discovered that these shadows are actually a powerful roadmap for healing as we cultivate deeper trust in ourselves and our path. Our challenges have so much to teach us and carry some of our greatest gifts, messages, and skills within them. Showing up to do this work will lead you to embody their exact opposite – Empowered Self-Worth and Embodied Intuition.

I also know the power that our intuition carries when we add clear vision and intention to it. It’s how I created The Moon Deck, which has touched tens of thousands of lives all over the world, and growing. Now it’s time, to help create more Intuitive Moon Deck Oracle Readers worldwide so that each of you can embody and share this message in your own way with all who cross your path while having a supportive community no matter where you live. It’s time to get out of the spiritual closet and stand confident in your immeasurable worth, power, and presence. The tools and teachings of this program will greatly help to inspire and shape your intuitive nature, which will have a positive ripple effect in your own wellbeing and all that you touch and create in the world – personally and professionally. It’s a win win for all.   

May we come together to support our growth and evolution, so that we can help fill this world with humans who fully love and accept themselves, while using our gifts for the betterment of humanity.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE MOON DECK & INTUITIVE ORACLE TRAINING:

“What I love about The Moon Deck is that it represents the divine female in all of us, giving us the access to pull from what we already know to be true inside through a tangible expression. So, whether you are new to oracle decks or someone who has been practicing a long time, The Moon Deck is my go to when I want clarity and to return to trust of my inner voice.” – Julianne Hough – Actress/Dancer/Singer 

“I joined this training to do something I have always wanted to do: become an intuitive card reader. I wanted to build my skills and understand myself more. It was a deep wish and desire that I had put off. This training gave me a space to face my doubts, build inner trust, and has been an impressively life changing experience. I wanted to reclaim the insights I wasn’t trusting, the calm within myself, and to start listening more closely again. With the uncertain and changing facets of life, I was ready to learn how to take better care of myself. Whenever I open up The Moon Deck box, it feels like I’m unlocking a quiet and safe space, where fear melts away, and allows me to be vulnerable and exposed. It reminds me to trust the voice of symbols and sensations in my body and life.” – Èlia Viader – Psychologist / Yoga and Meditation Teacher

”I absolutely loved this training! I signed up to learn how to read The Moon Deck cards for myself and deepen my intuition. I got this plus so much more! Aarona led us through the meanings of each card and provided wonderful tools, rituals, and practices that encouraged me to dive deep, grow, and heal. Best of all – she provided a safe space which allowed me to be vulnerable. Plus, the weekly homework kept me on track, which I still use today. By committing myself to this training and giving it my all, I feel much more comfortable reading The Moon Deck for myself and others, which I love! I’ve grown in my confidence, expanded my relationship with my intuition, and created friendships that I cherish. This experience created change in my life, became an outlet, and gave me permission to go deeper in a way that I had been craving yet didn’t know. Jumping into this training felt like a jump into myself in a way I had been yearning. I learned that it is safe to trust myself.” – Anna Katherine Moore – Stage Manager

“The Intuitive Oracle Training was awesome. It helped me grow spiritually and intuitively, which in turn shed new energy and vitality in my massage practice. A few of my clients noticed the change IN ME, and asked that I share my new enthusiasm with them (I even had a few ask me when the next training is!). I loved gathering on our Sunday video calls with the group, and I’ve started giving in-person and video Moon Deck readings to people in my community. This training both challenged me and made me grow and expand! I feel more connected to my intuition – by truly acknowledging it, appreciating it, trusting it, and ultimately loving it. I have become a gentler and more loving person to not only myself, but to my family. I believe my family notices the change too!” – Diane Counts – Massage Therapist / Reiki Practitioner / Sound Therapist

“The Intuitive Oracle Training was such a beautifully immersive deep dive into The Moon Deck and its wisdom. I’m really grateful to Aarona for her generous teachings, which I’ve been following for a few years. This training felt like a huge moment of integration and inspiration for me. I left feeling more confident, more attuned to my intuition, and ready to expand my offerings with The Moon Deck. During the training I also felt more tuned-in to my Expanded Intuition, which was one of my favorite things to explore. I also loved the community in this group, the Spirit Writing rituals, refreshing my altar, giving and receiving oracle readings, and taking the time to sit with and contemplate each card. Using this deck personally has shifted so much in my life, and I’m so happy that I feel confident to share its wisdom and rituals with others.” – Melinda DiOrio – Photographer / Yoga Teacher

“A Rare Opportunity!!! What an amazing 8 week program, I didn’t want it to end. Aarona is a pure channel of the Divine! The Intuitive Moon Deck Oracle content is rich and diverse, offered from a place of passion, love and total generosity. Over the 8 weeks, I have deeply connected to the power and potency of daily rituals, spirit writing, observing signs and symbols in my life and environment. Through carefully curated assignments my intuition became heightened, my awareness was focused and my creativity flowed so freely. An absolute joy to participate in this global circle of like hearted women, I felt safe, supported, honoured and heard!” – Julia Anastasiou – Yoga and Meditation Teacher/ Holistic Therapist / Creator of Wild Woman Wisdom

“This training came into my life at a time when I needed it the most. I had been feeling like I had lost myself and was trying to find connection. Everything I was searching for was right here! Aarona is a magical, thoughtful mentor, who ensures a spiritual, loving, and safe space for everyone to be vulnerable with each other. I quickly learned that I had never lost anything, I just needed to connect deeper and “ awaken”. The tools I took away with from this course are helping me stay grounded and attune to the energy around me. The relationships that have been built with my community of sisters is a true blessing. I highly recommend this training! “ – Holly Snapp – Marketing Consultant

MORE TESTIMONIALS:

“Many years ago, during a transformational shift in my life, I turned to my relationship with spirituality. I began to consistently tap into this part of myself that had been trying to grab my attention my entire life. In the depths of this walk, I found The Moon Deck. The beauty of sacred ritual, intention and intuition was exactly what I needed. Then I found the Intuitive Oracle Training, meeting my hopes many times over. The initial class felt like a permission slip to just be. It gave me the tools to create space for a deeper dive into my connection with my inner language. The interactive hands-on elements during the live classes and the push to practice the rituals throughout the week furthered my understanding of The Moon Deck’s deeper message. Not to mention the community and sisterhood in this program. My relationship to myself has been renewed. I consistently incorporate this work so that I show up as a better oracle reader, better therapist, and better human. I am eternally grateful to Aarona and The Moon Deck team, for this walk. I look forward to sharing it with others as I continue to honor this medicine within my own life.” – Valerie Medina – Clinical Therapist

“Before training, I had worked with The Moon Deck for about a year. I would shuffle, spread the cards out, and pick whichever 2-5 cards I felt called to that day. When the training came up, I knew I had to jump at the chance to do it. I wanted to connect deeper with the deck and be able to give readings to others with a sense of direction and confidence. My intention for the training came to fruition absolutely 110%. It created a framework around the readings and gave me a clear focus with the ability to use my intuition as guidance throughout the process. I transformed from being someone who just read the cards word for word (hoping the other person resonated) into this incredibly intuitive force that can help guide someone to dissolve and release blocks in their own life. With the amazing support of the group, I also learned so much about my own spirit, my creativity, my fears, and my dreams. The live video classes were personal and moving, as Aarona speaks genuinely and felt into the energy of each week. I’m feeling incredibly confident as a Moon Deck reader now and wish the program would never end!” – Amanda Henry – Intuitive Oracle Reader + Horse Whisperer 

“When Aarona first announced she was creating a Moon Deck training, I knew I had to sign up. During the 2 months together, I created space for myself to honor my intuition while creating a beautiful practice of ritual and self-discovery (with both myself and my community). The group was held together by Aarona in such a special way, where we could share and express ourselves without fear or judgement, and created friendships and bonds in our time together. The Intuitive Oracle Training invited the change I needed and gave me a fresh light on how to bring rituals and focused intention into my life. It’s allowed me to connect with and listen to my intuition, rather than question it. I usually shy away from sharing this side of myself, but by the third week in, I knew it was time to share about my experience online. I work as a clairaudient, so using the cards in combination with certain words/sounds that come through during a reading helps me to better support the person I am reading for. The more readings I give the more confident I feel as a Moon Deck reader” – Rachael Wagstaffe – Yoga Teacher

“I truly can’t believe how blessed I am to have been a part of this training. It’s been especially comforting during this uncertain time when the world needs us the most. I find myself often going back to the classes and rituals for comfort and clarity. I’ve been through many trainings, and by far this has been one where I have expanded in multiple ways. You know that it’s a great class when you get chills and cry. The materials and homework each week were also on point. When you hear the call, listen. Because what is waiting for you is a blessing. It is with a grateful heart and much appreciation that I say thank you Aarona, for being real and guiding my voice! You are a true blessing.” – Michelle Gomez, LE, LMT, RYT, HC – Lymph Drainage Therapy & Cancer Survivor Coach

“I am so incredibly grateful to Aarona for providing such a wonderful Intuitive Oracle Training. I have become more in touch with myself and my intuition, and have incorporated more self-care and ritual into my life. In return, I have more self-love than ever before. She provided all of the tools needed to be a confident and fluent reader of The Moon Deck. My readings for others now flow with accuracy, and it fills my heart to share this medicine with others! I always knew my intuition was strong, but I had blocked it for a time. This training helped me to connect and release the blocks with daily ritual, meditation, self- love practices, and exploring the voice of my intuition. I have never felt so connected to myself, and am more in touch with my intuition and spirit than ever before. The entire experience was life changing and I will always treasure it. This was an incredible opportunity and I look forward to taking more courses with Aarona in the future.” – Jennifer Huntsberger – Fitness Instructor / Holistic Health & Reiki Practitioner

“Working with The Moon Deck and completing the Intuitive Oracle Training has truly shifted the fabric of my life. It has provided me with knowledge and rituals that allow me to move through life’s ebbs and flows with more ease and self-compassion. It has deepened my self-understanding, and I am more connected than ever to my intuition and the way it shows up in my life and my body. The Moon Deck has allowed me to reclaim my power and my ability to manifest. I am forever grateful for this offering and for Aarona’s generosity and guidance.” – Meriam Pacheco Salazar – PhD Candidate

“I embarked upon this course to gain more confidence in being an Oracle Card Reader, however I have discovered so much more than I could have imagined. I tapped back into myself, into my truth. I rediscovered who I am at the core of my being and through the practices and rituals in this course, I set my boundaries in place and began honoring myself and really, truly LISTENING to that voice within. I am so grateful for this course because it inspired me so much and awoke in me something that was dormant for a long time. My creativity is blossoming and I am opening to life more and more each day!” – Ruslana Borka

After recent wet spell, thoughts turning anew to storage – Capitol Weekly | Capitol Weekly | Capitol Weekly: The Newspaper of California State Government and Politics.

Is California’s drought coming to an end?

Experts say no, not yet, despite the recent historic levels of rain and snow throughout the state.

And while 2021 was the driest in California in a century, 2022 is giving people hope that the seemingly interminable drought may finally be over, at least for now, following record-breaking snows along the linchpin of California’s water supply, the Sierra Nevada.

It is also heightening the discussion over whether new reservoirs should be built, and nowhere is that discussion more intense than in Santa Clara County, population 1.9 million.

UC Berkeley’s Central Sierra Snow lab reported that December has been the snowiest since December of 1970 and residents of the Sierra Nevada — which, appropriately, means “snowy mountain range” in Spanish — probably won’t argue with that. An estimated 75 percent of Californians drink water that originates in the region.

With a number of highways, including major east-west links like I-80, being closed and lengthy power outages, the white fluffy snow quickly became an enemy for the holiday season.

Two weeks after the storms, some 3,200 homes remained without power in Nevada, Placer, El Dorado and Sierra counties.

Currently all 58 counties in the state are under some type of drought emergency proclamation. However, with the recent storms precipitation has averaged 150% to 300% percent of normal or more throughout nearly all of California, and the state’s mountain snow holds more than 160% of what it normally does this time of year as well.

When it comes to water, some counties are lucky with water but others — not so much.

Santa Clara County, for example, has always had its water issues. Like many in California, it is largely relies on water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River delta, and draws water from the  the San Luis Reservoir, an imposing inland man-made lake off Highway 152 in the Pacheco Pass, and other sources.

But as the drought intensified, the San Luis Reservoir level dropped. As of Monday, Jan. 10, the level of San Luis was 415 feet, measured from seat level, up from the 341 feet measured during October.

“The reservoir’s water quality goes down when water levels are low,” noted Professor Jay Lund of the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis.

Because of the all this and more, Santa Clara authorities are considering another reservoir, the Pacheco Pass Expansion Project, and the proposal is gaining traction.

The plan, in conjunction with the Pacheco Pass Water District and the San Benito County Water District, is to build a $2.3 billion dollar dam in the hills of southern Santa Clara County. It would be the largest new reservoir constructed in the Bay Area in more than 20 years.

A Pacheco Pass Reservoir  already exists, with a capacity of 5,500 acre-feet; the  expanded reservoir would increase the capacity to 140,000 acre-feet, “enough to supply 1.4 million people with safe, clean water for one year in an emergency,” the Santa Clara Water District said last month. (An acre-foot of water is the amount needed to cover one acre to a depth of one foot, or about 330,00 gallons, roughly the yearly amount used by a family of four.)

 The expanded reservoir would be filled by a combination of rainfall, runoff from the watershed upstream of the new dam, and imported water supplies. The water released from the reservoir will help threatened fish by keeping the Pacheco Creek flowing, before seeping into the underlying groundwater aquifer as it winds toward where it meets the Pajaro River.

While the project is just coming to fruition and still isn’t fully approved, the California Water Commission reported last month that the project continues to qualify for nearly half a billion dollars in state funding.

While this may be great news to some, California’s Sierra Club and other environmentalists were skeptical.

“Construction of the reservoir will flood a 13,200 acre area that currently contains valuable wetland and oak woodland habitat. To fill the reservoir, the project will divert water from the Sacramento River, one of the main tributaries to the San Francisco Bay-Delta,” the Sierra Club noted.

Other concerns included not providing the benefits to the ecosystem and water quality conditions required by Water Storage Investment Program Regulations and not providing specific mitigation and conservation measures for the significant environmental impacts, among other things.

ARMYs Angry At Lars Pacheco For Lewd Video Involving BTS’ V

Uh-oh, YouTuber Lars Pacheco has been receiving a lot of hate lately from ARMYs.

On May 24, the trans woman and the It’s Showtime Ms. Q&A 2018 contender uploaded a video on Facebook that angered BTS fans. Screenshots of the now-deleted video have been making the rounds on the internet.

According to reports, the video showed Lars with a red towel, seemingly exposing her naked body to a paused BTS music video, with Kim Taehyung or V in the frame. She would also at times reportedly kiss V on the screen. The caption of the posted video was, “‘Di ko na kailangang pumila sa BTS.“

ARMYs were furious and took to social media to criticize Lars for allegedly “sexualizing” the K-pop idol.

“Seriously, Lars Pacheco?” tweeted an ARMY. “Please, you’re not welcome in this fandom if you think sexualizing an idol is normal and still part of your fangirling. TBH, your recent video is so disgusting. Yes, Taehyung is handsome and hot, but that isn’t enough reason for you to sexualize and disrespect him.”

Another fan shared the definition of “sexualization” and addressed netizens defending Lars.

“To the people who are defending Lars Pacheco, know that sexualizing someone is not okay and it’ll never be okay. Whether it’s a celebrity or not, everyone deserves respect.”

“Sexualization is to make something sexual in character or quality or to become aware of sexuality, especially in relation to men and women. Sexualization is linked to sexual objectification.”

Lars initially apologized to fans on May 25, Tuesday, in a now-deleted Facebook post. 

“The video is for entertainment purposes only. Those who were offended, sincere apology. Fans, ARMYs, sorry.”

Facebook/Lars Pacheco

Later that day, Tuesday, Lars posted on Facebook to clarify the story behind the video. She says her boyfriend Clyde Vivas was playing K-pop songs while she was getting dressed when he asked her to pretend to talk to V. That’s when Lars asked him to pause the video. 

Continue reading below ↓

“I have no intentions to sexualize him, bastusin, and ‘manyakin’ siya. It’s just that akala namin it will appear funny, appear nakakatawa, ganyan, nakakatuwa, akala namin matutuwa kayo.”

“It appears to be negative so I’ll take responsibility for that. Pasensya na po kayo kung ganoon po ang kinalabasan.”

Continue reading below ↓

Lars also explained that she received death threats after posting her initial apology. She urged fans to “educate” instead of “attacking” new BTS fandom members.

“Alam ko na maling-mali yung ginawa ko, na maybe may mga batang nanonood; I’ll take note of that. Pero sana lang po maging ano rin naman tayo sa mga bibitawan nating mga comments kasi hindi lahat ng tao ay kasing lakas ko, hindi lahat ng tao ay kayang basahin ang mga ganung comments, that’s why yung iba, nade-depress.“

First-generation college students push for in-person commencements

Marie Manipud didn’t expect that her college graduation would be much of an event. 

The UC San Diego public health major had immigrated to the U.S. from the Philippines at 14, becoming the first in her family to navigate the American education system. As a first generation college student, she saw commencement as the culmination of all the emotional support she received from family and friends in her academic career. But she knew many campuses were responding to the risks of the coronavirus pandemic by moving graduations online. 

So it was a surprise for Manipud when she received a message from another student while checking in students for coronavirus testing at her job as a community health worker: UC San Diego would be holding an in-person commencement. She would have an opportunity to walk on stage while her family cheered her on. Shocked, she immediately called her mom, who teared up after hearing the news.

“It’s a big deal because I really don’t think it’s just about me, but about everyone,” Manipud said.

As coronavirus vaccination ramps up across California, first-generation students have played central roles in pushing colleges to consider in-person options for graduation. For many first-generation students like Manipud, their families and support systems, walking the stage at graduation represents closure and a celebration of their academic and personal journeys. While many campuses will hold virtual or drive-through graduations, some are adapting traditional in-person ceremonies with health and safety regulations in mind. 

In-person commencements can be hosted safely at outdoor venues if colleges and universities require universal masking, social distancing, and fewer guests than normal, said Dr. George Rutherford, an epidemiologist at UC San Francisco.

“If you could do it like we’re doing pro sports, with distancing, limited density, and masks, I think you can follow those guidelines and pull it off,” Rutherford said. 

Rutherford said breaking up commencement into smaller events organized by major or college is one avenue institutions can take to limit crowds. The later commencement events are scheduled, the lower the risk, he said, adding that the current vaccination rate in California would mean the number of fully vaccinated people in the state should double between mid-April and June.

That view is reflected in guidance the California Department of Public Health released to universities in late March, outlining how they can safely host in-person commencement ceremonies. Colleges should ensure they are also following the advice of their local health departments, the guidance notes. 

But faced with the uncertainty of the ongoing pandemic, some campuses are choosing caution. 

At Cal State Los Angeles, many students were ecstatic when they heard their campus would offer an in-person graduation. After months of lobbying by the student body president, Diana Chavez, the college’s vice president of student life called Chavez to let her know that the stories she shared of first-generation students like herself had struck a chord. The university would find a way to make a live ceremony work.

“When I got that phone call, I just started crying,” Chavez said. 

But those plans fell apart last week, when the university said via email that their planned graduation at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena would feature no students walking on the stage, no names being read and no guests. After students blasted the plan on social media, administrators canceled the event and now say they are looking for a new venue to host an in-person graduation for the classes of 2020 and 2021 at a later date. 

“It was just disappointing to see that email. Especially for our student body, ceremonies are a rite of passage to share with your friends and family,” said Chavez.  

Diana Chavez, left, and her sister Carolina Chavez had hoped to walk the stage at Cal State LA’s graduation later this month after Diana, the student body president, helped convince officials to host an in-person ceremony. But the university has postponed the event indefinitely. Photo by Shae Hammond for CalMatters

Other universities are attempting novel approaches to try and satisfy students. California State University, Sacramento will hold a drive-through commencement ceremony — a “CARmencement” — for the classes of 2020 and 2021. 

The decision came after a majority of students voted in a university survey for an in-person stadium commencement as the type of ceremony they would most likely attend. Students and their families will have to remain in their vehicles throughout the festivities, Sacramento State officials said.

That frustrated child development major Sophia Esquivel, who started a petition with her sorority sister calling on the university to modify the ceremony and let students walk on stage. 

As a first-generation student, Esquivel will be the first among her six siblings to graduate. Having the ability to walk across a stage is especially important for students like herself, she said, because it also represents the moment that their parents worked for. 

Esquivel said she was amazed by the immediate feedback from students. “They’re like, ‘We don’t know if we should speak up or not and now you gave us a platform to,’ ” she said. “President Nelsen’s emails were getting flooded, the board members, our newspaper at school… So this has gotten a lot more attention than obviously I thought it was going to get.” 

University officials say they’re concerned about safety. 

“We know that students want a stadium commencement, but there are still too many risks and we have a responsibility to our students, their guests, and our employees who have to work these events,” said Cely Smart, chief of staff to the university’s president.

Like Sacramento State, Cal State Northridge is offering a hybrid graduation, with both virtual commencements and car parades for the classes of 2020 and 2021. Due to the size of the combined graduating class, CSUN’s dean of students said the campus library’s lawn, where graduation usually takes place, is not large enough to hold a ceremony while following safety guidelines. 

The announcement of the hybrid option sparked a student-led petition for an in-person graduation that had gathered more than 2,700 signatures as of May 11.

Senior transfer student Kimberly Lopez, who signed the petition, said that the idea of walking down a university stage and receiving her diploma is what kept her going during community college, as she dealt with financial aid and college applications without guidance from her immigrant parents. 

“I’m always gonna feel like there’s something missing,” said Lopez, also the first in her family to attend college. “I guess I know I’m going to receive my diploma in the mail and we have this virtual graduation, but it’s not going to be the same.”

At California State University, San Bernardino, where video slideshows with graduates’ names will replace traditional commencement events for the second year in a row, senior Jorge Navarro created his own petition for an in-person ceremony at the urging of his mother and grandmother.

Navarro said he was thinking not only of himself, but of his classmates who are parents and wanted their children to see them walk the stage. 

Along with other students, he created a group chat to organize for an in-person event, and staged small demonstrations on campus.

“I spent 5 years of my life to be recognized by slideshow!” read Navarro’s sign at an April 22 protest.

A statement from the university said that San Bernardino is “at an increased risk of COVID exposure” and that “significantly higher levels of vaccination in our communities must be achieved before the university can consider holding gatherings of large groups of people.”

While some colleges are creating hybrid ceremonies or going completely virtual, all nine undergraduate University of California campuses and some community colleges will offer in-person commencements. 

Ana Rosas Pacheco, a first-generation student at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, said going to college symbolizes a better life. She’s excited that the community college will have a hybrid in-person and drive-thru graduation in late May that will follow county health guidelines. Students will drive up to a designated staging area, exit their vehicle, and receive their diploma. 

Pacheco, who also serves as a student trustee, said the hybrid model was a compromise between the college and students, who wanted an in-person graduation.

“It’s very emotional and it feels surreal,” said Pacheco, who is transferring to Fresno State in the Fall. “All the work and sacrifice that me and my family made are finally paying off.” 

The University of California is allowing students to bring two guests per graduate. Those attending the ceremonies must be fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior or have tested negative for COVID-19 within three days, according to guidelines sent by President Michael V. Drake to campus chancellors. While more students have received the vaccine since California expanded eligibility to those 16 and older, the policy has raised concerns for those who cannot get their shots in time for the ceremonies.

But for Manipud, the UC San Diego student, the prospect of an in-person graduation made her feel hopeful about returning to some sense of normalcy after months of balancing her studies with a full-time job helping communities of color who have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19.

“It kind of felt like, for me personally, there was a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel,” she said.

Tropa Magica and 805 Beer team up in the name of “Cerveza”

Tropa Magica and 805 Beer team up in the name of "Cerveza"

Tropa Magica has partnered with 805 Beer for the release of their new video for the psychedelic shredder that is “Chalino Y Sus 7 Balazos.” Coming together to not only deliver those trippy cumbia sounds, but also quench your thirst with a refreshing “Cerveza” — the new collab is everything we need to see more of. Tropa Magica will be the soundtrack to 805’s new beer launch “Cerveza” — ‘an easy-drinking beer brewed with the perfect amount of lime.’

With Tropa’s groovy psych-surf vibes and 805’s love for all things Southern California surf and skate culture — the union could not be a more perfect. Kicking off the video in a way that will surely make you smile, drummer Rene Pacheco gives the video the most epic intro. Si tu sabes, tu sabes.

Watch the glorious hoppy shred below:

“Teaming up with 805 Beer came at the perfect time given the pandemic and our inability to tour or perform live shows, shares lead singer / guitarist David Pacheco. “Their artist rep Troy caught us on tour in San Luis Obispo last February where he witnessed me eat a handful of mushrooms during our set and then toss my guitar 10 feet in the air at the end.He reached out to us shortly and we began talking about what working with them would look like.”

Tropa Magica’s new video collaboration with 805 Beer is just the begining of great things to come. The video serves as a teaser for a feature mini-doc that will be coming out later this month. In celebration, 805 is hosting a giveaway with Fender for a guitar and amp. It will be the same Fender model that David uses for shows.
