Right now, it’s like this : Ecstatic Dance

Right now, it’s like this.
Ecstatic dance
Wednesday May 7
White Clover Grange
6-8pm
Hosted this week by Jamie Corvus

Calling everyone with a body, a curious mind and an open heart! No experience or fitness level necessary. There is no right or wrong way to do ecstatic dance! You are only asked to allow the music to touch you and to find in your body what wants to be expressed, to be released. You are there to do your dance, whatever that is, as it is, in the present moment. This is a practice meant to serve our authenticity, our fluid nature. Whatever you’re feeling, is where you begin. The world is so heavy and we all carry so much. Ecstatic dance is an emptying, a way to keep the heaviness from solidifying, a way to break up any calcification that has been with you, so that you can continue to show up again and again, renewed. It is an ancient path of resilience.

Ecstatic dance is so simple and so deep. Ecstatic dance is a conversation between your body and your spirit. It has the power to be holy. It is also simply incredibly joyful and freeing to dance with ourselves, with spirit, with each other. *That said, you are in no way expected or required to be in direct physical contact with anyone else. Some people enjoy a bit of “contact” dancing and those people will find each other. Everyone is actually encouraged to go within and dance from a place of deep listening and connection to self and spirit- near others doing the same.*

6- 6:30pm What is spirit dance, ecstatic dance, 5-rhythms? Bring your beginners mind and your questions! I, three-years into it, am a beginner too! I’ll give a little history and a little demo on Gabrielle Roth’s 5-rhythms ecstatic dancing , as I am beginning to understand it. This will also be a time to warm up, to stretch a bit.

6:30- 8pm Dance your grief dance, your joy dance, your compassion dance, your sacred anger dance, your acceptance dance, your gratitude dance, your I-don’t-have-any-idea-what-I’m-doing dance. Come dance your “right now, it’s like this” dance. Only you will know what that is, and whatever it is will be perfect!

Sliding scale $10-20
No one turned away for lack of funds.
Kids welcome and free!
We dance barefoot or in soft, “dance floor only” shoes.
No strong scents, please.

No Spray Update – No Cost Permit

Submitted By: FernTwoLLC@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I posted previously about herbicide spraying along Highway 53 despite having NO SPRAY signs posted. I’ve gotten to the bottom of it and want to pass the correct information along to others:

1. Oregon DOT is responsible for herbicide spraying along Highway 53 (not Tillamook County as I previously wrote in the BBQ.) ODOT owns 30 ft from the centerline of the road and is responsible for twice annual herbicide spraying along the shoulders.

2. A no-cost annual No Spray permit from ODOT is required to ensure no herbicide is sprayed along your property. Signage alone does nothing. Permit must be filed in January to ensure no spraying in the Spring and for the second application.

3. The landowner has maintenance obligations identified in the permit in lieu of ODOT herbicide spraying.

4. To secure your annual no-cost No Spray permit, contact:
ODOT Permit Department
503.325.7222

5. ODOT will email you a permit to be completed. Permit takes a month or more to make it’s way to the maintenance department, so get your permit application into ODOT in January to ensure you are covered for the year.

I have a PS4 Pro, 3 first-party wireless controllers, and over 20 games, several of which have never been played or even opened. It’s in great condition, we’ve primarily used the console for streaming service apps, and haven’t gamed much on it at all. All were gifts to us, and we’re just never going to play them.

Heritage Apple Project
Over the last two years, members and friends of the White Clover Grange have been seeking out heritage apple trees planted by homesteaders in North Tillamook County and spreading their goodness to new local homes! Supported by grants from the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition, scions of these trees have been grafted to new root stock to bear fruit once more.

Q:

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
…where he’s uniting the richest people in the world who’ve ever existed with many working class people?

A: They have all given up on this world. They’ve bought into a kind of apocalyptic fever?”

For me, this has been one of the least understandable pieces of our new extremist age. How can so many disparate people, groups and movements possibly believe they will benefit by signing up for this horror?

Here’s an article by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor in The Guardian: The Rise of End Times Fascism
www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/13/end-times-fascism-far-right-trump-musk

The point that made my hair stand on end: Once Trump’s policies fail, the only thing left will be sadism.
