San Diego Therapeutic Horsemanship to Host Ukrainian Refugee Horse Therapy
2022-06-18 14:00 - 17:00 | Driftwood Ranch, 2191 Hollister Street, San Diego, CA, 92154, United States
San Diego Therapeutic Horsemanship, a nonprofit that provides horse-based therapy programs to veterans and others who have experienced trauma, will host a group of refugee families from Ukraine for an afternoon of equine therapy on Saturday, June 18, from 2 PM to 5 PM. The event will include interacting with horses, taking photos, creating souvenirs, and enjoying a barbeque and horseback drill team show.
Seeking to help refugees of the Ukrainian conflict, the board of San Diego Therapeutic Horsemanship based at Driftwood Ranch in the Tijuana River Valley reached out to Catholic Charities, which is a nonprofit working with refugees at the Mexico-U.S. border. Tijuana River Valley Equestrian Association, which also operates from Driftwood Ranch, will also be participating.
“The therapeutic opportunity that we offer with the horses promotes mindfulness,” says Francesa Buitenkant, San Diego Therapeutic Horsemanship Program Supervisor. “The focus on the horse gives people a break from trauma. We work with veterans, but also have a program that serves youth who are victims of crime or abuse, living in foster care, experiencing homelessness, or grieving the loss of a family member. This is why we wanted to extend this program to the refugee families. It’s what we do. We hope our equine activities can help these families also.”
During the event on June 18, participating families will meet some of the horses who live at Driftwood, have their pictures taken with them, and make a souvenir frame (one per family) and a horse necklace. A farrier will also give a shoeing demonstration and a roper will let kids try their hand at roping a calf replica. The day will end with a barbeque and a presentation by the girls riding team Escaramuza Realeza Charra.

Walking Tour of Historic Coronado
2022-04-07 13:00 - 14:30 | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
One of the best ways to experience the history of Coronado is to go on a historic walking tour. This is the secret that Coronado locals know: it takes time to sense the past. When you slow down, you have a chance to see, hear, and remember this place that Hollywood stars, princes, and presidents have enjoyed. Everywhere you look in this charming beach town, you find history. And, that history is easiest to see on foot – when you have a chance to linger in front of a tiny, shingled house, perhaps, and meet the resident as he comes out into the yard to water his roses and tells you about the multiple generations who have lived in the home. Or, when you seemingly stumble upon the magical house from which the Wizard of Oz was born.
We’re proud to host you on Coronado’s premier walking tour. Every tour purchase supports the Coronado Historical Association and its mission. Thank you for your support.
Every Sunday at 11 am & Thursday at 1 pm
Location: Coronado Historical Association,
1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA 92118

FILM FORUM CORONADO: "Mr. Arkadin"
2022-06-15 18:00 - 20:45 | Coronado Library Winn Room, 640 Orange Avenue, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6 pm in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.
June 15: Mr. Arkadin (1955, 95 minutes)
One of cinema’s greatest mysteries. Orson Welles directed and stars in this baroque, globe-trotting meditation on truth and identity. Playing like a pulp-noir Citizen Kane, the film focuses on the daunting efforts of a hired American smuggler to reconstruct the murky past of financier Gregory Arkadin (Welles). Has the reclusive magnate something to hide? (Co-starring Michael Redgrave, Paola Mori and Katina Paxinou)

Summer Festival Jazz Concert Series featuring Daneen Wilburn, Kamau Kenyatta and Friends
2022-06-15 13:00 - 14:00 | Coronado Library Winn Room, 640 Orange Avenue, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Join the Library for the 2022 Summer Festival Jazz Concerts. Sponsored by the Friends of the Coronado Library and Hotel del Coronado, concerts will take place every other Friday from June 3 through August 26. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to each performance.
On Friday, June 15, Daneen Wilburn and Grammy award winning pianist/soprano saxophonist Kamau Kenyatta will bring their soulful jazz vibes to the Winn Room. Wilburn’s gospel roots will shine through and be enhanced by Kenyatta’s smooth musical stylings.

Performer Bios:
Daneen Wilburn was born and raised in San Diego, CA. She began singing at the age of three and by the time she was seven, she was the lead singer in the family band that included her talented brothers and sisters. At age nineteen, Daneen was performing at the Shrine Auditorium, in Los Angeles, CA. Her performance led to an invitation to sing at the legendary Hollywood Bowl for its Easter Sunrise Service. Soon after, she was sharing the stage with some of gospel music’s biggest names, including Darryl Coley, Edwin Hawkins and The Mighty Clouds of Joy.
In 1990, Daneen married and began a family. She decided to leave music to focus on her children, a decision she never regretted. However, in 2013, Daneen returned to the music scene, with a soldout concert, at 98 Bottles in San Diego, where she combined her gospel roots with a soulful jazz vibe. In 2014, on Jackie Robinson Day, she was invited to sing The National Anthem by the San Diego Padres. Padres’ owner, Robert Fowler, was so moved by her performance that he later asked Daneen to sing for the memorial service of Padres legend, Tony Gwynn, at Petco Park. Her rendition of “Amazing Grace” uplifted an audience of thousands that included baseball legends Reggie Jackson, Steve Garvey, Trevor Hoffman, Joe Torre, sports announcer Bob Costas. The next morning’s front page headline in the San Diego Union Tribune simply read, “Amazing Grace.” Since then, Daneen has performed for former First Lady Laura Bush, and at the wedding of soccer superstar, and gold medalist, Alex Morgan. She recorded her debut, self-titled album, produced by Grammy winner, Kamau Kenyatta, which was released in the summer of 2017.

Kamau Kenyatta is a Grammy award-winning producer and arranger. Kamau is a Teaching Professor at the University of California San Diego Music Department. He was honored with the prestigious Barbara J. and Paul D. Saltman Distinguished Teaching Award at UCSD in May 2009. Originally from Detroit, his versatility comes from his early exposure to a vast array of musical styles.
Kamau has worked with jazz greats such as Hubert Laws, Donald Byrd, Yusef Lateef, Jim Pepper, and Earl Klugh. World tours have taken him to over 20 countries and include stints with The Supremes, Carl Anderson (from Jesus Christ Superstar), Oscar Brown, Jr., SWV, Silk, the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band and New Kids on The Block. Kamau has also collaborated with Hubert Laws in writing the score for Small Steps, Big Strides a documentary concerning the history of African-American film. He wrote and supervised music for The Dawn At My Back, a Sundance Film Festival award-winning interactive DVD-ROM memoir. In 2015, Kamau scored the film, Spirits Of Rebellion, by Zeinabu Irene Davis.
In 2016, he completed the score for the Gregory Porter biopic, Don’t Forget Your Music. The film was released in the UK in the fall of 2016. Kamau served as musical director for Blues Schoolhouse, an educational program for middle-school children, at the International House Of Blues (San Diego). In 2009, Kenyatta joined the Music Department at California State Summer School for the Arts (CSSSA). He served as Department Co-Chair from 2010-11. Destiny, a recording that showcases Kenyatta as pianist, composer and producer, was released in the spring of 2007. The Elegant Sadness, his most recent recording in the same roles was released in the fall of 2019. Kamau produced Water and Be Good for vocalist Gregory Porter on the Motema label – both were nominated for Grammy awards. In 2013, Kenyatta served as associate producer and arranger for Porter’s Blue Note Records debut disc Liquid Spirit. In February 2014, this project won a Grammy in the “Best Jazz Vocal Album” category. 2016 saw releases of his production projects included Gregory Porter’s Take Me To The Alley, Ed Motta’s Perpetual Gateways, and Steph Johnson’s Music Is Art. In February 2017, Kamau won a Grammy for his co-production and arrangements on Take Me To The Alley in the “Best Jazz Vocal Album” category. In 2018, his production of Uncovered Soul by Kathy Kosins was released. Production projects released in 2019 include a self-titled project for vocalist Daneen Wilburn and Intuition: Songs From The Minds Of Women for Alicia Olatuja. In 2020, Kamau’s production of Paulette McWilliams’ A Woman’s Story was released. His production of Allan Harris’ Kate’s Place was released in early 2021.
