“Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more – it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity.”
Oliver Sacks (1933-2015) best-selling author and professor of neurology at NYU School Of Medicine

Thursdays Community Dance: Cumbia influenced night

Submitted By: neahkahniespiritdance@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
This week Libby Golden, Dancing For Birth™ Instructor & Trainer, will share 30 minutes of Cumbia dance moves as adapted by Dancing For Birth™ (it’s fun and easy) then we’ll move into ecstatic dance for the remaining time, with similar lively rhythms for the remainder of our time.  

Thursday March 23rd
At the White Clover Grange on HWY 53

Doors open at 6:00 PM for warmup/setup
6:30 PM – opening circle/30 minutes of led Cumbia dancing
7:15-Ecstatic dance
8:00 PM – closing circle

$10-$20 donation appreciated – or what you can.  Kids dance free!  (If you bring kids, they are free to come and go from our 30 min. Cumbia dance portion as feels right to them.) 

Dancing For Birth™ is a weekly fitness and labor readiness class for those who are preconception, pregnant and postpartum, however, all people are welcome for this Thursday’s event.
Cumbia originated in Columbia as a courtship dance.   The basic beat was brought to the Caribbean Columbian coast by African slaves who ultimately rebelled and started their own town.  This music and dance is a result of blending with the music and customs from indigenous people, European settlers and Mexico as well.
Spring is a great time to celebrate living freely, growing new love and life together.

If you have a long or flouncy skirt, wear it for fun and flair!   Otherwise, come as you are.  We’ll have scarves and veils that can be used in place of skirts.

Dance Etiquette:
*No outside shoes.
*Please limit talking on the dance floor.
*All ages and all bodies are welcome.
*We ask this to be a sober space.
*We are encouraging everyone to be mindful of each other’s safety and health and stay home if you are not feeling well, or have been exposed to someone sick. Follow your own judgment on whether to wear a mask or not.

We dance every Thursday…Hope to dance with you soon!

The Power of Music

The Power of Music

“When it comes to drug use, Oregon holds an ugly distinction: its rate of teenagers killed by overdose is growing faster than in any other state.” This is the shocking first sentence from the March 7 Lund Report. A major killer is the drug fentanyl, of which most teens have little knowledge. For teens who do make their way into the health system, youth addition treatment services in Oregon are just about non-existent. Read the entire report if you have the stomach for it—it’s not good news. www.thelundreport.org/content/state-inaction-left-oregon-teens-vulnerable-fentanyls-fatal-spread

Underneath Oregon’s teen drug statistics is a mental health crisis: an ever greater number of young people are struggling with anxiety and depression. These mental health issues are affecting kids from all walks of life–city kids, rural kids, kids on the street, kids from more traditional homes. And teens can turn to drugs as a way to escape those demons. That’s where music comes in, because music can offer another safe way to connect, de-stress and be uplifted. Music can provide people young and old with a healthy way to relate and process what they are experiencing in their lives.

Join the North Coast Music Project in a fundraising concert for
the Neahkahnie School District Music Program.

Sunday March 26th at the White Clover Grange on Hwy 53 north of Mohler.
Doors open at 3:30
Opening act: 4pm Performances by members of the Neahkahnie High School choir.
5 pm: Maria Muldaur and Her Red Hot Bluesiana Band. 2 sets of red hot funky and soulful tunes

Author Annelise Heinz at the Cannon Beach Library

Submitted By: info@cannonbeachlibrary.org – Click to email about this post
Author and historian Annelise Heinz will be at the library 2 p.m. Saturday, March 25. Heinz will discuss her nonfiction novel, “Mahjong: A Chinese Game and the Making of Modern American Culture.”
This is a hybrid event; attend the talk at 131 N Hemlock St. in Cannon Beach or livestream the event: www.cannonbeachlibrary.org. Come early for the best seats.
In her talk, Heinz explores the American history of the Chinese parlor game mahjong. She charts a complex cultural journey as the game’s history connects American expatriates in Shanghai, Jazz Age white Americans, urban Chinese Americans in the 1930s, Jewish American suburban mothers, and Air Force officers’ wives in the postwar era.
Her talk follows the history of one game to think about how, in their daily lives, individuals create and experience cultural change.
Her work has been featured by National Public Radio, The Wall Street Journal, TIME.com, and South China Morning Post, among others. Mahjong won the Pacific Coast Branch Award for the best first book in any historical subject and was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award in Nonfiction.
Annelise Heinz is a historian at the University of Oregon. She has lived and played mahjong in the United States and Southwestern China.

MANZANITA DAY COUNTDOWN BEGINS!

Submitted By: ketzel.levine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
BY MAYORAL PROCLAMATION, 2020!

March 31st is Manzanita Day, when we celebrate our namesake shrub. This year, the Hoffman Center’s Horticultural Arts program contracted with Xera Plants to provide\ dozens and dozens of “The Plant That Spells Home”.

SHOP FOR MANZANITAS AT THE HOFFMAN!
Friday, March 31st at 11am inside the Hoffman Center

We’ll be selling a wide range of manzanita species, from ground covers to small trees (in 5-7 years, anyway). We won’t leave you guessing; volunteers will be on hand to make sure you’re on a first-name basis with the plants you bring home.

But know this about all our manzanitas: they want full sun, fast drainage, absolutely no fertilizer and after their first summer, no supplemental water. Provide them with these basics (gravel mulch also appreciated) and you’ve THE recipe for success.

Also on sale: native wildflowers! Blues, purples, whites, pinks, yellows! That’s about as specific as we can get right now; it all depends on what germinates and looks irresistible by Manzanita Day. Guaranteed, irresistible they will be.

But wait! There’s more to this year’s Manzanita Day celebration. After blowing your plant budget in the morning, we’re hoping the afternoon will blow your mind.

Celebrated NW photographer David Perry will kick off a year-long Hoffman Center series whose time has come: Gardening in a Changing Climate. Perry’s an incredibly thoughtful and charismatic speaker whose talk may sway audience gardeners to reevaluate how and why they garden.
