i see my husband... the father of our girls. i see a public servant. a man who served under secretary clinton in the state department... where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. i see a fighter, a tenacious problem-solver... who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy. because he sees a better future for all of us. i'm peter dixon and i approved this message.

announcer: hey, bay area. it's time to share some amazing stories and feel good. we could all use some inspiration right now, and you've come to the right place. this show is all about good food, good people, and good living. ♪♪ on today's show, a sandcastle competition reaches new heights... a creative way to relieve stress... from trash to treasure... a dance community for all. but first, health and wellness reimagined. it's a shock every time... [laughs] every time you get in.

when you leave here, you probably won't ever be the same. it's extremely cold. one of the participants told me a couple years after she'd done it, she looked out at the water and thought, "nancy iverson must be out of her mind to think that we're gonna do this." ♪♪ 20 years ago was the very first pathstar alcatraz swim. pathstar is a program to encourage and revitalize native american health and wellness. um, it stands for preservation of authentic traditions and healing. it is, um, an intensive week, um, of just wellness, of swimming every day and eating very exclusively healthy foods. i really love the program. it's just amazing. i feel like it touches on so many important parts of emotional growth. iverson: i love swimming. because i'm not that good,

i've just had a lot of really good support. it's seriously like, if i can do it, you can do it. ♪♪ our participants are here for a week. this year, they all came from pine ridge reservation in south dakota. within a week, not only are they doing food preparation, learning menu planning, learning portion sizes, we're doing yoga, hiking, mindfulness, and then we also immerse in the bay every day. they have seven practice swims, and then they finish the week with a swim in alcatraz. diabetes is plaguing our country, and as lakota people, we have the highest diabetes rate, the highest, um, heart disease. we always have to think about the future and the generations and how we're-- uh, you know, how we cook. their formula works. you have six days of preparation, and those six swims, um, acclimate you

to the cold into the salt water, and so, um, you're ready. we call 'em swim angels. the swim angels are right there with the swimmer. my swim angels, you know, were so encouraging and so helpful. it seems crazy, but it's really not when you look at all the support that you get. ♪♪ i have never wanted to impose customs, like saying, "this is the way you--you have to do it." it's something that's grown organically, and i think from the very start, people wanted to smudge, and i-i love it. i love it, but i want always ownership with it. i love seeing people come from within themselves and reconnect with those really powerful spiritual lines that will sustain the next generations, too. i feel like it brought us into, like, this sacred spiritual mindset

to help us get through the swim, because i feel like the swim is really powerful and sacred in that way. [chanting in native language] ♪♪ i'm really happy my daughter and my sister are here, um, and i'm just filled with lots of-- filled with lots of pride. today's indigenous people day. overall, this was the best experience. i couldn't ask for more. i'm very grateful for the experiences that i've had here. i feel like once you swim in the ocean, it sticks with you forever. catches: we're hoping to grow the program,

to just spread the awareness, and--and that it's doable. we're doing it, and to continue figuring out how we continue to cook and eat without any sugar or salt, you know, after the-- past our week on our own. it has to be something that comes from us. ♪♪ now it's time to hit the beach. ♪♪ this is the 41st annual sandcastle classic, and it raises awareness about arts education for bay area students. ♪♪ really like making sandcastles, so i really wanted to participate. lee: all the teams come out here with the shovels, a lot of water pumps. [whooshing sound] everyone needs to work together. sand, water, sand, water, the whole nine. [indistinct conversations] it's, like, a lot of layers of sand. they're getting an opportunity to get really dirty

and just totally play, just totally play for no other reason than to build. ♪♪ what you're seeing behind me is a mile of sandcastles. and this is an embodiment, a symbolism of what the arts can do for students. i really like art because i think it's fun to, like, create stuff with your imagination. i like it 'cause it gives you a chance to express yourself through drawings, painting, sculpting, and a lot of other things. so, i think without art, it would be pretty miserable. the arts are incredibly essential for all of our students, and it is often sort of the last consideration in a budget. and so we are there as a nonprofit to provide essential arts education services for public schools in the bay area. leap arts in education serves 9,200 students in the bay area every year,

and this is our largest fundraising event. we raise about 30% of our organizational budget just from sandcastle alone. we really just wanted students to engage with working professionals, getting architects, engineers, contractors into the schools and really having that sort of relationship, bridging the professional and academic environment. they work with the students in the classroom before coming out to the beach. so, they're designing and sketching and brainstorming and modeling with clay their designs. we had to submit our design to the kids, and--and they approved it, and they made some-- they had some minor changes, and we respected that. so, it was a true collaboration. dineen: and then they come out to the beach, and they get a true steam opportunity-- steam meaning science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. man: yeah, go for it. don't be shy. beatrice: the best part was being able to make the design that we helped to create. lee: that's the whole idea of, like, conception to execution for them, being able to conceive of an idea and then see it actually come to fruition.

it was really fun to actually be able to see how things got created. it turned out a lot better than i thought it would be. dineen: these teams mean business. this is very competitive. they have designs on winning the ultimate prize, this gorgeous plaque with a golden shovel and bragging rights for a year. [amplified voice] first place. are you ready? drum roll. [cheering] mall of the pumpkins! it all came together at the last minute, and i think everyone had a great time. it was really, really fun, and i'm glad i got to participate in it. for me, the payoff is seeing all the kids having that day in the sand that they'll never forget. we actually have grown adults here today who have brought their children, who have done this event when they were in fifth grade, and they remember their time at sandcastle. and now it's become a tradition for their own family. that speaks to the long-term impact of what the arts can do for people. ♪♪ coming up... need to relieve some stress? well, there's a smash room calling your name.

♪♪ (box thuds) (water boils) (packet tears) (tea bag clanks) (water pours) - listening to people that drink bigelow tea is so important to my family, because making that perfect cup, it's the reason we do what we do hi, guys! - hi! - hey! - so what are you guys drinking? - constant comment. - when i'm drinking bigelow tea, it's just a moment for me. it's just me time. - that's what a cup of tea is. - it is. - a moment for you, someone you love. - aw! (customer sighs) - it tastes really great. - yes! it was always bigelow tea

- wow! that's what my family hopes for. cheers. - cheers. (bright upbeat music)

cheers. welcome back to the show. you can break, throw, and trash anything you'd like at this smash room. ♪♪ ♪♪ it's craziness, glass flying everywhere, speaker shards. -it was great. -yeah! i'm feeling pretty pumped. inflation is up. everything is kind of crazy right now. nothing is stabilizing yet, so people need a place like this right now. just come in here, smash stuff, let your rage out, and have some fun. first thing, i saw a sledgehammer. immediately picked it up, and i just started smashing

things as soon as i could. especially with the sledgehammer and the amount of force-- that was pretty cathartic. moises: our sledgehammers are 30 pounds. you're swinging that for 20, 30 minutes. it is a nice workout, but it also feels good. it's a different type of stress reliever. i see a lot of people kind of like, "whoa, i needed that, and i don't know why." [laughs] [screams] this has been amazing. this has been so fun. ♪♪ like everyone says, everyone needs therapy, and what's best than smash therapy? ♪♪ [yelling] moises: it actually started in japan, and then it kind of migrated out here to america. we are actually the first rage room in the bay area. so, having a space where you're able to let loose and just be by yourself and just pretty much smash anything, i really do feel like, and i'm happy that they were able to bring that to the bay area recently for us as well. moises: we have three big rooms that can do 10 people each.

we have two small rooms that can do two people each. so, altogether, we can do around 34 people smashing at the same time. we have all the safety gear here. we'll give you guys hard hats, gloves, safety shields. you actually get to choose your own weapons. we have a wall full of weapons of crowbars, sledgehammers, bats, sticks. you guys may grab one weapon per person, but feel free to swap your weapons as many times as you like. everyone gets printers, keyboards, glass. we actually let everyone bring up to three items, three electronics, and up to 25 pieces of glass per group. pictures of exes, you know, maybe some old furniture that you don't want anymore, and you can really just go to town on it. aah! [laughs] be mindful not to hit the doors, the walls, and most importantly, each other. you know, we have dinner reservations at 8, so may as well pregame at the smash room and get your frustrations out. woman: so, i went for the big piece because it's easy to aim at, and it kind of gets you in the groove. once you get a swing of things, then you aim for more satisfying smashes,

like the lights and the keyboard. zen: i've really always wanted to smash a plate and just, like, see everything, like smash and kind of just pretty much crumble. it's been a great experience having the chance to do that over here as well. i was immediately drawn to the speakers, the big wooden boxes, 'cause i knew if you hit them hard enough, they're probably gonna explode a little bit. everyone's switching different destruction tactics and weapons, so it was super awesome. i really loved the glass. a baseball bat and some glass hitting against the wall-- that felt like a home run. ♪♪ we do have axe throwing now. just something different for the bay area that i think is much needed. it's actually really rewarding knowing that i'm providing a safe place for everyone to come, let that stress out, let that rage out, let that anger out, and you leave without cleaning it up. ♪♪ sydney: great stress relief, especially for a friday. talk about a long work week. i got a lot of friends who would

greatly benefit from releasing some stress in a rage room. aah! ♪♪ coming up, discover a 3-acre yard filled with stacks of reclaimed lumber, timber slabs, and more. ♪♪

welcome back to the show. heritage salvage prides itself on turning yesterday's beauties into beautiful tomorrows. ♪♪ deakin: you never stop collecting if you can help it. little stuff, big stuff, and everything in between. ♪♪ you get things like an eastlake hinge, which is incredibly detailed. the rusty bits are the things that people love to pick through and, like, oh, oh. and then it's like, just use your imagination.

who knows what that rusty bit will be repurposed as next? ♪♪ walk through the showrooms and see how spectacular that beautiful old piece of falling down barn wood turns out when you give it some tlc. some of these edges are really fun. -yeah. -you know? our clients and their imagination is who i strive to inspire. it's just what i love to do. ♪♪ i named my company heritage salvage because i love to salvage the heritage of everything, not just salvage. when i started remodeling homes, i was a general contractor at the time. i kept telling people, you know, "we should put some accents in your house of reclaimed materials. we've got all these old buildings

falling down around here." so, i put an ad in "the press democrat" looking for old barns, and i had 35 calls in two days, and that's how i started. we're gonna get a 70-inch table out of 'em. we sell wood wholesale, retail, as-is. take it home. you do it. we'll show you how to do it, even. [buzzes] or we will take it all the way to a finished product for you. where tables are us, now its mantles are us, and floating shelves are us. well, i can show you some pieces that are finished. i was interested in the salvage and reusing and repurposing. i really wanted the stories. "never let the truth get in the way of a good story." i love to quote mark twain anytime i get a chance. these are the bleacher boards from the polo fields at golden gate park, wherein happened the first summer of love. oh, my gosh. that would be an amazing story to tell.

you can see this one's got the numbers on it. seat 9, 10. these firewalls were used to house decommissioned icbms. [buzzes] we've been doing decks, barn doors, tabletops, picnic tables, you name it. this stuff is so handsome. taking this piece and repurposing it as something else, and you end up with a piece of history to walk into your house that looks amazing. so, it can be from totally rustic to totally modern. we can make it all here. heritage salvage is in over 200 restaurants across this country, and we're in at least 10,000 homes. ♪♪ everybody here at heritage selvage-- we are all very proud of the fact that we are repurposing yesterday's beauties into beautiful tomorrows. ♪♪

coming up, this dance center opens its doors to all for a comfortable and welcoming dance experience. ♪♪

♪♪ welcome back to the show. odc in san francisco fosters diversity and inclusion through dance. ♪♪ [piano playing contemplative piece] ♪♪ i'm never happier than when i dance, because i don't worry about the things that i'm worried about. i love dance because i believe it's the best medicine for healing our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. i started out as a dancer when i was very, very young, and so for me, it's kind of a first language. i love dance because it is therapy, it's healing, and it allows me to be free, period.

♪♪ i will say it's a happy place, and people say that when they come and say, "oh, this is a happy place." and then, i'm thinking, yeah, well, that's the idea-- finding genuine joy in the complexity of your life, you get taken care of in many ways. ♪♪ i'm jocquese, sir joq whitfield, and i'm here live and in color, and i teach vogue and tone. ow. hi, my name is elizabeth soberanes, and i teach latin dance grooves at odc. so, come and dance with me. you'll never guess how old i am. i'm 87, and i'm still dancing. okada: we have just such a thriving center for dance here. there are so many people who are affected by what we do, not just in the school, but we have a presenting theater that has performances, you know, 40 weeks out of the year.

we have our professional company. so we have many component parts that offer different portals for people to come through, no matter what they're interested in. it's an organization that is centered in dance, that seeks to create an environment where art, community, creativity, and performance are the natural way of life. the curriculum, of course, is about training, but it's also about giving everybody access to movement. and so we set up a world in which everybody could do that. okada: it's about your body. it's about trying to feel comfortable in your body, in not feeling intimidated by body image or competitive feelings, that i'm not good enough or whatever. we really believe in a non-competitive environment so that you feel like you can dance and really enjoy yourself and not feel like you have to be a professional and look like a skinny ballerina. and i think that that is really important to who we are.

it's that openness to be able to, um, welcome anybody here. i didn't understand what professional dance was, but once i did, and i started to be physical and to express myself as an artist, and all these things came together, it just was the perfect marriage, and i just started to flourish. way: it's particularly important to give them an environment where they can develop their self-esteem at a women-led organization and women-started. we've had to face that more than men have. certainly 50 years ago, we had to face more. although the company has always been multicultural and multigendered, the leadership structure and the creative structure has been very influenced by the idea of participation and actualization, and everybody has a voice. ♪♪ what i like most about this dance studio is that there are all kinds of dance. but for me, dance tells a story.

so, it's something you have to have inside of you so that you feel it and not just do movement for movement's sake, but you're telling a story. whatever it is, it's something that you feel inside. ♪♪ originally, it housed the collective's, you know, dance rehearsals, all of the classes, um, and all of the performances when they would invite artists to come into the space, and then when they moved across the street and got the commons and built that out as, like, the rehearsal space and the school space, they were able to renovate this building so that it's just the theater. we are able to kind of modulate the space depending on what an artist wants to do. zisman: and so we want to be able to say to individual artists as well as maybe emerging or mid-sized companies, please come find a home here. you don't have to go get your own space. we want you to share ours. we wanna make that accessible and approachable. man: we're so fortunate to be able to have this opportunity

to earn a living, especially in the bay area, by being an artist, uh, being a dance artist. yeah. we're full-time employees. we have health insurance. it's pretty great. i feel so lucky that i have a job that is so meaningful to me, that i come to work every day and i say, this is why i'm here. i love what i do. i love getting to be here. it's hard not to fall in love with--with that energy, and it's hard not to feel invited. it's a welcoming world that, um, is maybe more important now than ever. ♪♪ that's it for today's show, but tune in next week for an all-new episode. in the meantime, keep connected on social for more feel-good stories. ♪♪

hey, bay area. it's time to share some amazing stories and feel good. we could all use some inspiration right now, and you've come to the right place. this show is all about good food, good people, and good living. on today's show, a local comedian is using her talents to inspire the deaf community, a coal mine experience that takes visitors underground to encounter deep layers of the earth. but first, we're bringing in the lunar new year with a special dragon vintage brut. dragon is a vintage brute. it's a blend of chardonnay and pinot noir grown here on the estate.

my mother is a san franciscan, so we have a natural affinity for lunar new year. i mean, i'm a february baby, so as a little girl, the themes of my birthdays were either chinese new year's or valentine's day. that was pretty much it. so for us, there's a special connection. this is iron horse. this is my family's winery. we're in sebastopol in sonoma county. we are all about evolution, baby steps. if we can think of one thing to do that's exciting and exhilarating and stimulating and delicious, then we're just going to go for it. and that's-- again, the beauty of being a small family-owned winery is that we can turn on a dime and enjoy ourselves in the process. our wine has been served at the white house for 38 years.

clearly you become president of the united states, one of the first things that happens is that you develop a taste for iron horse. this is our second vintage of dragon. the first vintage of dragon was made for exports of china. we're approached by a company in china who had heard about iron horse from being served at the white house. they wanted to try bringing in a california sparkling wine into the market, and they commissioned a chinese cuvée. we just loved it so much. and we felt rather than exporting to china, this is just so beautiful for lunar new year and particularly san francisco. it is very dry. it is, of course, delicious with asian cuisine. bubbles in general are. when you're feasting and celebrating community, which is what lunar new year is about,

you're going to have a lot of different dishes. and one of the great things about sparkling wine is that it can really go with many different flavors. bubbly can go with everything. we've been named top 100 wine by "wine & spirits" magazine for 20 years. to stay on top like that, you have to work really hard. you have to run very fast for people to perceive that you're standing still. and so we really feel strongly that we're only as good as our last finish. excellence for us means the quality of the wine, but also how we conduct ourselves as employers, as community members. that's just essential. in fact, that is part of our sustainability. it is also doing the right thing at every opportunity. we make several giving wines. one of them is called gratitude. and for that vintage which comes out around thanksgiving,
