“The first thing is your body. It is your base it is your ground. To make you hate the body is to destroy you. To make you schizophrenic. To make you miserable.
The body is your basic truth. Whenever you are going against the body. you lose contact with reality. The body is your contact, your bridge, your temple.”
On Beltane we celebrate the body, the greatest of mysteries.
In this workshop we’ll explore the master emotion of shame, and why “shame shifting” is the key to transforming the fight with our bodies into life force and pleasure.
Through a series of exercises based in tantra, kundalini yoga and somatics, you’ll learn ways to turn towards towards the body with compassion and love.
Beltane Fire Ritual & Sound Healing
Pleasure is the natural result of transforming shame in the body.
Using fire, sound healing, ‘ye old shame pinata – we’ll create a ritual to burn away the old skins of winter and light the flame of summer!

She will talk about everything you want to know about green burial.
Elizabeth Fournier, aka The Green Reaper, will speak at the North Coast Recreation District (NCRD), 36155 9th Street, Nehalem. The presentation will be held in the Gallery Saturday, April 27 from 2:00-4:00; $10 cash at the door.
Every year conventional funerals bury millions of tons of wood, concrete, and metals, as well as millions of gallons of carcinogenic embalming fluid. There is a more environmentally conscious and affordable way, and Elizabeth Fournier, affectionately dubbed the “Green Reaper,” walks you through it. She provides comprehensive and compassionate guidance, covering everything from green burial planning and home funeral basics to legal guidelines and outside-the-box options, such as burials at sea. Fournier points the way to green burial practices that consider both the environmental well-being of the planet and the economic well-being of loved ones.
Elizabeth is the author of The Green Burial Guidebook: Everything You Need to Plan
an Affordable, Environmentally Friendly Burial. She is a member of the Advisory Board for the Green Burial Council, and the owner and operator of Cornerstone Funeral Services in Boring, Oregon.
Elizabeth will have copies of her books available for purchase.
For more information on Elizabeth, visit her website: thegreenreaper.org

This will be a grassroots meeting, open to all, who believe we have a right to abundant, safe and clean drinking water. If you are interested in citizen involvement regarding the future of the Jetty Creek Watershed and other coastal drinking water sheds, please attend. At the Oregon Coast, many watersheds that provide drinking water to towns, large and small, have been damaged by clearcutting followed by pesticide spraying. Because of industrial forestry practices and climate change, there are now summer water shortages along the Oregon Coast.
Please join us on April 25 (and on the last Thursday of every month) at St. Mary-by-the-Sea to learn about and discuss these important issues.
This will be an “in-person” meeting that will also be on Zoom (email us at the address below) for those unable to attend in person.
North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) invites respectful discussion through a sharing of ideas.

Drag Sensation EDIE has heard those three words her entire life. First from her parents insisting she perform for guests in the living room of their family home in Portland, OR. Then from her dance teacher who gave her the skills and the confidence to take on the world. From Ballet to Broadway to Cirque du Soleil, EDIE has taken those three words to heart. Dance, Edie, Dance is a culmination of her love of life-long love of dance and all the places her long legs have taken her throughout her storied career.
EDIE is best known from Cirque du Soleil’s hit show ZUMANITY where she starred as the emcee, the “Mistress of Sensuality,” at the NY-NY Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. During her 13 year run, EDIE performed over 5,600 shows for over 6 million people. EDIE began her professional dance career at the age of 17 with Ballet Oregon. For the next eleven years she danced with Pacific Northwest Ballet, Ballet Chicago, and Pennsylvania Ballet before moving to New York to pursue musical theater. EDIE quickly became a fixture in New York City where she racked up a bevy of awards including Best Drag Queen (HX Award), Best Dance Artist and Entertainer of the Year (Glammy Award). She starred in her autobiographical, off-Broadway show “LEGS!,” performed on the MTV Video Music Awards, appeared on “Sex and the City,” was featured at Wigstock and Broadway Bares, and made her Broadway debut alongside Cyndi Lauper and Alan Cumming in the Tony-nominated revival of “The ThreePenny Opera” at Studio 54. The San Francisco Chronicle “strongly advises seeing the incredible EDIE whose talent and legs go on forever.”
You can learn more about Edie at www.edieentertainer.com.
Dance, Edie, Dance is a special event, and is not included in the 2024 season ticket package. This show is not eligible for Flex Passes or the Arts for All program.

Bhanoo’s appearance is part of the Oregon Book Awards Authors Tour, presented in partnership with Literary Arts and hosted by the library’s NW Authors Series.
“Seeking Fortune Elsewhere” won the 2023 Ken Kesey Award. The award is part of the Oregon Book Awards, presented annually by Literary Arts to honor and celebrate the work of Oregon’s authors.
“Seeking Fortune Elsewhere” features intimate stories of South Indian immigrants and the families they left behind. It asks how women both claim and surrender power. Occurring in places including Pittsburgh, eastern Washington and Tamil Nadu, these stories focus on dislocation and how immigrants and their families confront the costs of leaving, staying and growing apart,
A fiction writer and journalist Bhanoo also won the New American Voices Award. In 2021, she won an O. Henry Prize. She worked as a reporter for The New York Times and The Washington Post and teaches creative writing and journalism at Oregon State University.
