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

Join us this Sunday, April 23rd 2 PM at the NCRD Performing Arts Center for an opportunity to hear more about the bond measure and how it will address improvements in local health and senior care.
The plan includes construction of a new, state-of-the-art Nehalem Bay Health District and Pharmacy, a medical facility that will provide the needed space to provide specialty health care services not currently available in the community.
The Health District is also planning to renovate and modernize the Nehalem Valley Care Center, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility, to improve the care and safety of seniors who need 24-hour nursing care.
And the bond measure will support site preparation leading to workforce housing focused on the community housing needs of medical and other essential workers.

Join me, April, for some yoga & energetic spring cleaning!. We’ll begin with a seated meditation and ceremony to call in positive supportive energies. Next, we’ll move through a 45-minute yoga sequence to get into our bodies & shake off anything leftover from winter.
Then, we’ll spend about an hour in restorative yoga and yin shapes, enjoying a guided visualization and affirmations meditation & gentle breathwork practice (with optional aromatherapy). This will be focused on the seeds we are planting for the next season of life to explore what is coming in fresh and new for each of us with Spring!

We’ll begin with a simple ‘dancing for joy’ moving meditation to help bring spring rising energies and then finish the evening with free-form/ecstatic dance.

6:30 PM – opening circle/dance set
8:00 PM – closing circle

Dance Etiquette/tips:
*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)
*Please no strong scents!
*Please limit talking during the dance set. Set up, break time, and the foyer area are great places to have longer conversations to limit distractions for others.
*This is a family friendly event—please be mindful of your behavior.
*Ecstatic dance is a drug and alcohol free 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

We gather near the new moon each month with snacks, pens and paper.
If you’ve been wanting to write more but just never find time in your life to make it happen- Write Club can help!
A small group of us get together to write for an hour or more. We leave time at the end to share our work (optional) and ask for feedback (also optional).
A prompt is offered if you need inspiration- but it can also be ignored if you want to work on your own thing.
You’ll be amazed what you can create in an hour when you’re in a dedicated writing space!
Please join us. The world needs your words!
