From Southern California New Realtor Network

An educational workshop for newly licensed California Realtors to learn, ask questions, and connect with other real estate professionals. ## Event Description Just earned your California real estate license? Join us for an educational workshop created specifically for new Realtors who want to better understand how the real estate business works beyond the licensing exam.

This workshop is educational in nature and is intended to help attendees better understand the real estate profession. **Complimentary hors d'oeuvres will be served.** ## Our Community The Southern California New Realtor Network is more than a workshop series. Our goal is to create a welcoming community where newly licensed real estate professionals can meet others entering the industry, exchange ideas, ask questions, and continue learning together. In addition to educational workshops, members are encouraged to participate in networking events, group discussions, Q&A sessions, coffee meetups, and other opportunities to connect with fellow Realtors throughout Southern California. Whether you're looking to expand your professional network, meet other new agents, or simply learn from shared experiences, this community is designed to help members connect with one another while growing their understanding of the real estate profession. ## Meet the Speaker The workshop will be led by **Syd Leibovitch**, Founder & President of Rodeo Realty. Since founding Rodeo Realty in 1986, Syd has spent nearly four decades working in residential real estate throughout Southern California. Throughout his career, he has mentored and educated thousands of real estate professionals and frequently speaks on topics related to the housing market, professional development, and the real estate industry. This workshop is part of the Southern California New Realtor Network, where members can continue learning, meet fellow real estate professionals, and participate in future educational and networking events throughout the year.

Energetic & Somatic Fashion Styling Workshop

Sun, Aug 16, 11:00 PM

From Come Home to Yourself - Women’s Gatherings

Join us in person for an immersive workshop exploring the connection between your style, your body, and your energy. Energetic & Somatic Fashion Styling Workshop An intimate gathering for women. What if getting dressed could change how you feel? What if your clothing wasn't just style — but a way to support your nervous system, your energy, and how you move through the world? This women-only workshop is an invitation into the subtle, often unspoken relationship between what you wear and how you experience yourself. Together, we'll explore clothing as a form of embodiment — tuning into how different colors, textures, and silhouettes impact your sense of safety, confidence, and expression. Through somatic awareness and gentle inquiry, you will be guided inward to explore why a piece called to you — what energy it holds, what it awakens in your body, and what it says about the part of you that chose it. Is it the color that holds space for your creativity? The silhouette that allows you to feel fluid and free? The texture that soothes your nervous system when the world feels like too much? This is the foundation of Energetic & Somatic Fashion Styling — the belief that what we wear is never just style. It is a nervous system experience. It is an act of self-expression. It is a language the body speaks before the mind catches up. This is not about trends or rules. It's about learning to listen. You'll leave with a deeper awareness of your body, a new relationship to your wardrobe, and a felt sense of how to dress in a way that supports the energy you want to embody — whether that's grounded, open, powerful, soft, or fully expressed. For the woman who senses there's more to style than what meets the eye — and is ready to explore the quiet power of what she wears. What to bring: Please bring a journal or notebook, a pen, and wear or bring a favorite outfit or meaningful piece of clothing, as it will be incorporated into a guided exercise during the workshop. Important Details: Please plan to arrive by 3:45 PM, as doors will close promptly at 4:00 PM to preserve the integrity of our shared, intimate space. If you are unexpectedly delayed, kindly email Faith at faith.mahastudio@gmail.com to inform her. About the Host: Faith Perrin is the founder of MAHA Studio, a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, and a somatic and energetic fashion stylist. With over six years of experience in trauma-informed care and meditation facilitation, she works at the intersection of nervous system regulation, embodiment, and personal style — bridging psychological depth with embodied practice and supporting women in cultivating clarity, coherence, and authentic self-expression. Her approach is rooted in a simple question: what shifts externally when we become internally aligned? Through her work, Faith invites a deeper relationship with self — where what you wear, how you feel, and how you show up begin to move in harmony. She helps women understand not just what they wear, but why — and what it reveals about who they are becoming. Learn more about MAHA Studio at mahastudio.co

The Say-Do Gap: Why Execution Breaks Down—and How to Fix It

Fri, Aug 7, 3:15 PM

From Friday Coffee Meetup

4.8

Join us for a candid and highly practical session with Dr. Dmitri Kossakovski, an engineering and business leader who has spent his career working in environments where execution failure isn’t just costly—it can derail products, delay critical systems, and cost companies their competitive edge. From NASA/JPL to Fortune 500 companies to venture-backed startups, Dmitri has operated at the intersection of deep technology and real-world delivery across domains including automotive, medtech, sensors, and advanced materials. And across all of these environments, he kept seeing the same pattern: Teams that look productive on paper—but quietly drift off course week after week. Plans are made. Status updates are shared. Progress appears to be happening. But underneath it all, the gap between what’s said and what actually gets done continues to widen. Instead of accepting this as the norm, Dmitri began tracking that gap. What started as a simple weekly habit—recording what was planned, what actually happened, and what comes next—evolved into a lightweight system he now calls the “Say-Do Gap,” and a tool he describes as a “Project Reality Ledger.” In this session, Dr. Kossakovski will break down the methodology behind the Say-Do approach, explain why simple tracking habits often outperform complex project management systems, and share what he learned building a product on nights and weekends while leading high-stakes R&D organizations. This is not a talk about theory—it’s a practical framework for anyone who wants to execute more effectively in the real world. Whether you’re leading a team, building a company, or simply trying to execute more effectively in your own work, you’ll walk away with a practical approach you can apply immediately. *** ## **About the Speaker** Dr. Dmitri Kossakovski works at the intersection of deep technology and strategic business development, with over 20 years of experience spanning R&D leadership, technology partnerships, licensing, and M&A. He holds a PhD in Physical Chemistry from Caltech and an MS in Applied Physics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, along with an Executive MBA from the Drucker School. His career spans NASA/JPL, Fortune 500 companies, and venture-backed startups across domains including semiconductor materials, advanced coatings, thermal systems, sensors, and medical devices. On the business side, he has negotiated more than 25 transactions—including licensing agreements, research partnerships, and M&A—with organizations such as MIT, KAIST, Kyocera, Infineon, the DOE, and DARPA. He co-founded Pacific Scanning Corp (acquired by Agilent Technologies) and was part of the leadership team behind a successful exit at iGlass Technology. He currently contributes to strategic investment initiatives in medical innovation and serves on the boards of multiple startups. He is the author of 30+ U.S. patents.

GOURD WORKSHOP, mid-day

Thu, Aug 20, 5:00 PM

From Wild Food and Self-Reliance Discovery

4.9

To attend and for exact location, Register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/noon-gourd-workshop-30/) The location noted below may change, please register for exact location. August 20 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm $30.00 – $45.00 mid-day GOURD WORKSHOP Thursday, August 20, noon. Here’s another ancient skill that you’ll enjoy learning. Botanists know that the “ornamental gourds” came out of Africa, and somehow made it to the American south, and spread to the Southwest. How they got to the Americas is a matter of debate — some say they simply floated, but it’s very likely that they simply came on one of the many boats from Africa that came to the Americas in the pre-Columbian era. You will get to choose a gourd, and learn all the steps necessary to clean, cut, sand, and create a funtional product. Each person will work on turning an ornamental gourd into a bowl for eating, or perhaps a canteen, ladle, or plate. There are several skill sets involved, and we’ll talk you through them so you’ll understand the mechanics of making a gourd that you’ll be happy to use. We’ll bring tools, but if you have a good knife, hacksaw, fine files, bring them! Not a highly-complicated craft, but requires patience. You will select a gourd that we bring, and clean it, decide where to cut it — no two gourds are alike — and then clean the inside and smooth the sharp edges. You’ll end up with a new skill and a bowl or dish that you can use right away. You’ll also get to take seeds home so you can grow your own if you have the space. *$45. [$30 for seniors/students] RSVP for this one so we bring enough gourds! Location given after you register.*

LUNCHTIME TRAPS,TRIGGERS, PRIMITIVE WEAPONRY

Thu, Aug 13, 7:00 PM

From Wild Food and Self-Reliance Discovery

4.9

To attend and for exact location, Register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/lunchtime-useful-plant-walk-25/) The location provided below may change, register to get exact location. Learn to make traps, triggers, snares, deadfalls — learn by doing! Thursday, August 13, noon We recognize that hunting and fishing are long-established methods of putting food on the table, especially during times of hardship and emergency. Though I have never really been what you’d call a “hunter,” I always wanted to know how to capture and clean animals for food, if I had to. I learned originally how to clean animals by using roadkill, and fish that I caught. Later, I learned how to make and use primitive traps from various sources, such as Paul Campbell and Larry Dean Olsen. So if you’re like me, and just want to know how to make these devices “just in case,” please come to the class. We’ll meet in the Arroyo Seco to learn which woods are best for traps and triggers. Then’ we’ll work on carving a deadfall trigger, a trigger for a quail trap, and more. You’re learn by doing. Bring your knife! (We have extras if you don’t have one) We’ll see edible and medicinal plants. Bring your canteen.
