Come Sweat Your Prayers, this Thursday 3/19 @ 5:30pm

“Ecstatic Dance” is an internal experience with an external expression. It asks nothing of you but to bring yourself, as is, and your intention to take a curious and loving look, internally, to see what is asking to be moved, or expressed, through your body. Where, in your body, does tension or tightness live? Where does fear live? Where does grief live? Where does confusion live? Where in your body does weakness or imbalance live? Where in your body are the walls? What about the armor? How heavy is that to carry? What can we liberate, allow to break free, in ourselves, through this practice, in service to liberation for all? Only you know. Only you can give yourself the gift of your dance.

I feel the sap rising. I feel the matriarchy rising. Whatever is, whatever comes, I want to meet it with fluidity and strength, wisdom and connection. Let’s practice together and get flowing what is asking to flow, move what is asking to move, and make room for who we are really here to be.

(Also, the music is great, the people are the best, and it is really the most joyful experience, imo.)

This Thursday, March 19, 5:30 (doors open by 5:15) at the White Clover Grange in Nehalem. Bring your favorite Goddess or female/non-binary deity to add to the altar.

This session hosted by Jamie Corvus.
$10-20 at the door. (No one turned away for lack of funds. Kids dance free.)

When the Leggett went down it was the largest loss of life on the Oregon Coast. The investigation that followed blamed the captain.

This Saturday’s Pruning Lab offered by the Hoffman Wonder Garden offers a few folkjs the chance to spend the day with one of our favorite pruners, Maryann Lewis. Ms Lewis has never met a tangle of branches and limbs she couldn’t transform into an astonishing garden-worthy specimen.

Join a small group of plant lovers for a day of instruction and hands-on supervision that will forever change the way you look at the woody plants in your garden. Their potential will blow you away!

Pacific Northwest audiences well know Terry Robb from his several decades as a top-tier, multiple award winning local bluesman with an international reputation. The Vancouver-born, Portland-based bluesman took home the Muddy Award for Best Acoustic Guitar so many times that the Cascade Blues Association finally attached his name to the trophy permanently.

Recognition for his artistry doesn’t stop there. The Oregon Music Hall of Famer has been praised by Rolling Stone, Acoustic Guitar, Down Beat, Guitar Player, Vintage Guitar, Living Blues and Oprah’s O Magazine, extolling his talents as a finger-picker, singer, songwriter, arranger and producer. He’s toured the country with Buddy Guy, Steve Miller, Robin Trowrer, and John Fahey, appeared on Late Night With Conan O’Brien, dazzled the crowd at the Rose Garden during Portland Trail Blazers games, and collaborated with the Oregon Symphony. During his multi-decade run in the spotlight – one in which he’s released fifteen acclaimed albums – he’s shown himself to be a master of nearly every blues style and technique imaginable.

What if you suddenly had no plumbing (think break in the water line, a natural disaster etc) What would you do? Are you like me and many years ago purchased emergency water purification supplies, put them away and haven’t looked at them since? It has been on the back of my mind that I needed to pull every thing out and figure it out while I still could. I took a WASH Class last month and finally DID IT! Now I will be able to drink water, even if it comes from a creek and not worry about getting sick. The instructor was a teacher in her other life, it was obvious and she was outstanding. It feels great to have this task done and I would encourage everyone to take it. It is this Saturday 3/14 from 10-12:30 at Fire Station 13. To find out more log on to EVCNB.org

Join the Lower Nehalem Community Trust this Stewardship Friday from 10:00-12:00 to help open the tiny ‘purple’ forest to all species. Meet at Alder Creek Farm in Nehalem at 10:00. We’ll provide tools. Waterproof footwear is recommended.

These enclosures were installed over a decade ago to protect young trees and shrubs from foraging deer, elk and other neighbors. Now we need your help to remove them! The tiny forests within them have now grown enough to be exposed to wildlife and opened to the larger ecosystem.

The North Oregon Coast Symphony continues its 2025-26 season with two concerts in March titled “Adventures in Sound.” The concerts are designed to appeal to children as well as adults, and the program will begin with Serge Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf”. This classic children’s tale set to music is perfect for introducing young people to the various orchestral instruments, as each character in the story is represented by a musical “voice.” Local favorite Liz Cole, an award-winning stage and TV actor, will return as narrator.

Before the concert begins there will be an instrumental “petting zoo”, an opportunity for children and their adults to play some of the orchestral instruments.

The program also features the rousing 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky, Holst’s Jupiter from The Planets, Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King, and Glière’s Russian Sailor’s Dance. Cookies and refreshments will be available at both concerts during intermission.

The first concert will take place on Saturday, March 14 at the Nehalem Elementary School Gym (36300 8th St., Nehalem, OR) beginning at 3:00 pm.

The second concert will be on Sunday, March 15, at the Bob Chisholm Community Center (1225 Avenue A, Seaside, OR) at 3:00 pm.

Admission for both concerts will be: $10 Adults, ages 18 and under FREE (children 12 and under with adult supervision).
Tickets will be available at the door only for these concerts.

This non-profit orchestra, under the direction of conductor Cory Pederson, brings together musicians from the north Oregon and south Washington coast to perform classical music for local audiences. For more information, please visit the NOCS website: nocsymphony.org.

My husband and I attended Saturday’s Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay WASH Class – in February and it was excellent!! We had attended it 10 years ago and thought we had everything but we learned new information and updated our supplies!! Most importantly, we learned so much about the movement of the tectonic plates and the potential this has on our existence here at the coast and a future tsunami! The information was superbly presented and extremely comprehensive!! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the latest information!!! It is one of the very best presentations we have ever attended!!

We live on the beautiful Oregon coast with beaches, mountains, rivers. It’s also a beautiful coast with an active geographical plate, the Juan de Fuca, which subducts under the North American plate. When will it slip? We don’t know when, but we know it will.

Have you thought about how you will care for yourself, your family, and help care for your community? Do you have a plan?

The EVCNB WaSH (water/sanitation/hygiene) 2.5 hr. class offers valuable and applicable information, which will support your planning for natural disasters and weather events.

Register for a class session at EVCNB.ORG – Events & Trainings. The March 14th class is coming up soon. It would be great to have more people attend as more people stimulates more discussion, which benefits all who attend. So, get registered!

Already attended a class and need a Refresher? Attend for free! Find info on the registration page.
