Our Year of the Wood Snake calendar features a decadent Dutch-inspired scene overflowing with wishes for health, resiliency and longevity, as well as wishes for prosperity and good fortune.

A century egg offers a new beginning and longevity on top of chestnuts, plum, reishi mushroom, rose hip, and green oil—each an offering of wellness and good health. The plentifulness of grapes, longan, and pomegranate express abundance and good fortune, as well as wishes for a sweet year and for family blessings. In appearance with persimmons, it reflects the wish for these hopes to emerge from our undertakings in the year ahead. Finally, a strand of jade beads for their believed power to avert any misfortune while ushering in health and good fortune.

This is the sixth Lunar New Year calendar collaboration with our friend and photographer Andria Lo. Proceeds from this year’s calendar will be directed to Friends of Lincoln Square Park in Oakland. This place-based organization was founded in 2016 by a multi-generational group of volunteers to fundraise, advocate, and lay out a vision for a larger new Lincoln Recreation Center in Oakland Chinatown that better serves the community. The organization sponsors park programming to ensure that the park continues to be a welcoming and thriving public park for everyone, now, and for generations to come.
