Each session will be self-generative using the personal stories and questions that we bring with us in order to build up the shared play experience.

- Eating & Body Image Group - every 1st & 3rd Wednesday evening / 6pm - 7:30pm.

Location: project space at Hub (next to the Bike Church) – 703 Pacific Ave in downtown Santa Cruz – enter on Spruce St (the Hub Community Center is where @subrosa_space is also located)

- Punks and Queers in Recovery – every 2nd & 4th Wednesday evening / 7:30 – 9 p.m.

"We hope you can join us. All are welcome, process addiction as well as substances, curious but not sure about making a change? You are still welcome to join the conversation."

Location: project space at Hub (next to the Bike Church) – 703 Pacific Ave in downtown Santa Cruz – enter on Spruce St (the Hub Community Center is where @subrosa_space is also located)

Description: No Gods. No Masters. No Addictions.

This is a space for folks who are ready to face the compulsive behaviors that are throwing off balance and creating toxicity in our lives—whether you're just starting, in the middle of the journey, or have been working on it for a while.

THIS IS NOT AN AA.

This is about open conversations, sharing our struggles, and supporting each other through the process of healing and growth. While we focus on breaking free from compulsive behaviors, it's not just about alcohol or drugs. If you're tackling any compulsive behavior—be it work, food, gaming, or anything else—we're here for you.

You don't have to have it all figured out or be "sober" to join. We're here to share tools, skills, and approaches that have worked for us in the hope that they'll work for you too. Let's build a supportive community where we can grow together.

SubRosa is a collectively run anarchist community space, a place to meet others and challenge our assumptions and act on our passions. We strive to create a vibrant environment for events, classes, meetings, organizing, performance, art, studying and more. SubRosa also offers radical literature, and houses the Anarchist Lending Library. We welcome folks to join us in fostering an environment free from coercion, sexism, queer&homophobia, racism, ableism and other hierarchies. Let's create together the world(s) we want to live in now. http://www.subrosaproject.org/ 


SubRosa is part of the Hub Community Center, in downtown Santa Cruz, CA which is the unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people known as the Uypi, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to the removal and displacement of the Uypi. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma. 


The Santa Cruz Hub for Sustainable Living includes a constellation of projects that support skill-sharing, appropriate re/use of resources, and interconnected, creative communities - since 1994! http://www.santacruzhub.org

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
