Let’s Discuss Bees, Birds and the Bus.

Submitted By: leverettefortctd@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello. My name is Mary Leverette and I am an avid birder.
The birding year in Tillamook County is full of beautiful birds — some 450 species of birds have been sighted along our coastline — and we are fortunate to have great places to watch them! Some of my favorite winter visitors are Varied Thrushes and Chestnut-backed Chickadees. Both of these birds visit my feeder tray, starting usually in mid-October and stay until April.
I love chatting about birds and would love to share my knowledge with any bird enthusiasts or curious observers.
I am also a novice bee keeper.
In Spring 2022, I took a leap of faith and started keeping honey bees. This is something I have thought about doing for decades. I saw an advertisement on the outside bulletin board at the Tillamook Farm Store with a date for a ‘introduction to beekeeping’ group. I spent one Saturday morning at a class sponsored by the Tillamook Beekeepers Association (TBA) and came away hooked! Let’s learn together!
I am also a candidate for Tillamook County Transportation District in the upcoming election. I want to hear suggestions, concerns, wishes, anything you wish to offer. As an elected representative my job will be to carry your message and fulfill on the promise of the district that your tax dollars pay for. I am a firm believer in collaboration.
Like the bees, and the birds, and all of nature, we will come up with the most elegant solutions when we work together.
Please join me the Saturday, April 29th at 10am at the Roost in Wheeler. I’ll just be hanging out for an hour having some coffee and hoping you’ll stop by for a chat.
The Roost is at 92 Rorvik St. in Wheeler.

Sand Spiral Labyrinth free community gathering for WORLD LABYRINTH DAY

Submitted By: centerpoint.healing.arts@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Dear BBQ Community –

Do you know difference between a labyrinth and a maze?

Mazes (like the autumn fun of a corn maze) are complex, branching, multicursal designs that aim to confuse and confound.

Labyrinths are unicursal designs with only one clear path to meander to the center and back again, that offer a contemplative practice to foster renewal and healing.

“A maze is designed to make you lose your way, while a labyrinth is designed to help you find your way” – L.Artress

The 15th Annual WORLD LABYRINTH DAY is coming soon, the first weekend in May.

Centerpoint Healing Arts is offering free community gatherings to walk a Sand Spiral Labyrinth and the first event for WORLD LABYRINTH DAY is happening:

Sunday May 7th
‘Sunrise’ at Neahkahnie Beach at the ‘Y’
7:30am ‘opening the gate’ Meditation
8am Labyrinth Walk or feel free to walk anytime before the tide sweeps it away.

Happy Spring – Za Connor – Centerpoint Healing Arts

April 29th at 7pm, come enjoy an evening of music featuring local musicians you may know and love, Hope Montgomery and the Invasive Species & Mojo Holler! Concert tickets are by donation. Doors open at 6:30pm. Mark your calendars for a night you don’t want to miss! Get your tickets in advance at the following link: www.baycityartscenter.com/concerts–tickets.html

Hope Montgomery and the Invasive Species are a local indie pop quartet comprised of Hope Montgomery (of course!), Charlie Wooldridge (lead guitar), Geoff Fielder (bass), and Levi Timm (drums). Sonic explorations into the depths of complex emotional turbulence are complimented by catchy melodic phrasing that you’ll want to get up and dance to.

Mojo Holler weaves threads from mountain ranges to the Mississippi Delta into a tapestry of indie folk rock, made up of Mister and Missi Baker. Mister Baker channels innate genius through lap steel, slide, and dobro. Missi is a genuine Appalachian ‘Mountain Mama’ whose vocals bring burning intensity to each song.

Chakradance Awakening Series Starts May 13th

Submitted By: Christy@cosmichealingnw.com – Click to email about this post
Hello!
Did you know that often, especially during times of stress, our emotions can become stuck energy in our physical bodies. These energies can lead to illness if not addressed. Counseling and other tools may not effectively bring them to the surface for release.
Chakradance is a fun and productive way to bring your awareness inward, to connect the inner world with your outer world for change and growth. Chakradance uses guided moving meditation with specific frequency music to engage your unconscious blocks to healing, and ends with mandala art to creatively bring the unconscious into physical form reinforcing this process of self awareness, balancing your emotional, spiritual and physical health.
The next 9-week Awakening series will meet on Saturdays, starting May 13th, at 9AM, at Rising Hearts Studio in Nehalem. Total cost of all 9 weeks is $333- payment options available. I am limiting this group to 5 souls who are ready for some big shifts!
Please call, email, or text for more information.
Here is a link to an article I wrote that explains Chakradance in more detail. www.tillamookcountypioneer.net/?s=chakradance
All my Love! ❤

*All are welcome–no experience needed.
*Bring a water bottle and layers.
*Bring kindness and respect for yourself and others and your willingness to explore and to dive into the ecstasy of spirit available through movement.
*No outside shoes on the dance floor if possible (dirty floors aren’t fun to roll around on)
