Investigated 2026-06-21:
- Website at `wanawari.org` — Squarespace confirmed (squarespace-cdn.com image URLs)
- Events page: `/wnw-events` — Squarespace type 10 (page), `itemCount: 0` — NOT an events collection; just a page with 0 items
- No events collection found on the site
- Events are announced primarily via Instagram and social media
- Previous URL `wa-na-wari.org` returned ECONNREFUSED (old domain, no longer active)

**Note**: The events page is a Squarespace page (not an events collection), so the standard built-in Squarespace ripper cannot be used. A custom ripper or alternative approach would be needed. Re-check if they migrate to a Squarespace events collection or add a Tribe Events calendar.
