Come join the Friends of the Buellton Library as we unveil and dedicate a beautiful painting by local artist extraordinaire Rebecca August. The Friends commissioned Ms. August to create a painting for the library to show what the property where the library is now at 202 Dairyland Road looked like when it was the Willemsen Family Dairy. Ms. August’s amazing depiction of a bygone era is a gift to the Library from Ms August, the Friends of the Buellton Library with support from the Artists’ Advocacy Foundation.

Local authors, Adam McHugh and Gerald Di Pego will share information about themselves and their books, as well as sign and sell books. A portion of book sales will be donated to the Friends of the Buellton Library, who will use it to help support the Buellton Library. Free. Light refreshments will be served.

You track your sleep and your steps, but what about the organ running the whole show? NeuroField Neurotherapy is taking over the Faulkner Gallery for a free evening about the brain, hosted by two Santa Barbara local doctors who have pioneered neurotechnology and the field. Dr. Tiff Thompson and Dr. Nicholas Dogris will explain how a brain gets mapped, what neurostimulation actually feels like (spoiler: like a tickle on your scalp), how it differs from neurofeedback, and what happens when a treatment plan is built for one specific brain instead of a whole category of people.

You will watch brain activity show up on a screen in real time. You will see before and after brain maps from real patients. You will get to ask absolutely anything, and there is a community prize drawing at the end plus light refreshments.

No prior neuroscience required. Bring your questions, bring a friend, bring the family member who keeps asking how they can improve their mental health. Join us for an exploration of mental health and brainmaxxing.
