Hotel Happenings
Deep End Sessions
Sunday, November 8 | 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Deep End Sessions serves up American Roots music at Hotel El Roblar. Don’t miss this incredible father/daughter duo!
Four-time GRAMMY winner Dirk Powell is a musician, writer, producer, composer, studio owner, and engineer. He learned banjo and fiddle from his Kentucky grandfather, James Clarence Hay. He is considered one of the world’s leading experts on traditional Appalachian fiddle and banjo styles.
Dirk and Amelia play music of their Appalachian and Cajun heritage, write and craft original songs, and bring audiences the kind of soulful connection that comes from family playing together with humour, trust, and love. Along with some of the best roots music being played in America today their performances are peppered with wonderful back stories of the songs and tunes they play.
Line Dancing
Tuesday, November 10 | 6 PM - 9 PM
Join us at Hotel El Roblar for line dancing with Diane Anastasio.
– Beginner Hour: 6–7 PM
– Lesson at 7 PM
– Beginner to Advanced: 7–9 PM
Diane Anastasio is a writer, dancer, shepherd, and weaver in southern California. Across these practices, I create opportunities for people to gather and move together — like a herd — within spaces that are joyous, lighthearted, and accessible. My work approaches the dance floor as more than a place of performance. It is a field for collective attunement, a site where bodies learn from one another, and where both personal and collective transformation can take root.

Collaging Workshop
Tuesday, November 17 | 5 PM – 8 PM
LA COCINA @ HOTEL EL ROBLAR
Join artist Fran Gealer for a meditative collage workshop exploring color, composition, and visual journaling. No experience needed.
Take a creative pause from your day and explore the meditative art of visual journaling with photographer and collage artist Fran Gealer. Through the tactile, hands-on process of cut-and-paste collage, you’ll experiment with color, composition, and found imagery to create a personal visual journal.
This welcoming workshop invites you to slow down, embrace the creative process, and discover new ways to express yourself through images. No prior collage experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and imagination! Space is limited to 10 participants.
