Did you know that our Repair Cafe is part of an international movement? According to an article in APNews the idea originated in the Netherlands in 2009, struck a nerve in our throw-away culture and now there are over 4000 cafes fixing over 850,000 items each year! Check out the attached article!
Reminder to join us for qigong now in the Riverview room at NCRD in the main building. You can check with the front desk if you don’t know where that is or if you need to get/renew membership, buy a class pass, or drop-in.
Also know, my qigong classes have a seasonal focus. For instance, as we shift from spring to summer, we move from the wood element to fire. (Liver/gallbladder channels move to heart, small intestine and triple warmer channels.) We use movements that bring ease and flow to these channels. Focusing on each energy in it’s season is the optimal time to make good repairs and tune-ups to the parts of the body that are served by those channels energy flow.
If you’re looking to reduce upper body tension, summer is a great time to balance the heart, refine things in our lives and balance our busy-ness with some soothing, flowing, qigong movement.
We’d love to have you join us.
Kindly,
Libby

Attendees at our May Conscious Aging session engaged in a lively discussion about the pros, cons and complexities of Aging-in-Place in our own homes.
Participants shared ideas about what qualities of life they value most, now, as well as nearer end of life. We considered phases of aging as our abilities diminish and change. We compared the costs of aging in our homes, with possible in-home care, to the cost of assisted living facilities and nursing homes.
It became clear that all the aspects of Aging-in-Place could not be covered in only two hours.
By popular demand, at our June 8th meeting, we will continue our conversation about Aging-in-Place. This time, with emphasis on ways we can each make plans, based on our personal preferences, resources and our community assets and limitations.
Tela Skinner will facilitate the conversation. She will share an assessment tool she has developed that includes a questionnaire for self-evaluation of baseline preferences and abilities. Each person will be able to personalize the tool according to their own values, priorities, and current physical, emotional and mental abilities. The tool can be used to answer the questions repeatedly, as ones situation changes, or when it is time to reconsider our living situation.
Later this year we plan to hold a brainstorming session to identify opportunities for us to combine our time, energy, skills and resources to address individual and community concerns about aging in place.
We hope you’ll be able to join us for this engaging topic.

There’s a little rain in the forecast, which is great for plants! Laughing Rabbit Farm has a beautiful selection of plants, primarily medicinal and culinary herbs, plus some edible flowers. These extra long days with in and out rain and sunshine are perfect for planting!
This year we have 2 cheese vendors: Nestucca Bay Creamery is back after a few years away from the market, and they have fresh curds and aged cheeses with milk from their local, primarily grass fed cows. Fraga Farm is at market every other week, with fresh goat cheese and extra flavorful feta.

Join Clair Thomas of the Garibaldi Cultural Heritage Initiative and Friends of Netarts Bay – WEBS Saturday, June 13th for an engaging walk through one of the Oregon Coast’s most unique landscapes. Along the way, Clair will share captivating stories about the people who once called Bayocean home and explain how powerful natural forces, combined with human-made changes to the spit, led to the town’s decline.
This easy-to-moderate hike takes participants along the bay, across scenic dunes, and down the ocean beach at the meeting place of Tillamook Bay and the Pacific Ocean. As you explore this dynamic coastal environment, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for both the ecological richness and the human history of this extraordinary sand spit.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast or nature lover, this walk offers a unique opportunity to experience the past while enjoying this beautiful area.
Registration is required for this free event. Learn more at:https://www.netartsbaywebs.org/events
This popular event fills up quickly! If the event is full, please add your name to the waitlist so we can reach out if spots become available.
What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes, water, and snacks are a must! Binoculars are highly encouraged. The climate can change quickly along the coast, ranging from warm to cool and breezy, so please bring the gear you need to stay comfortable.
Difficulty: Easy to moderate due to the challenges of walking on the soft and wet sand. Participants should be prepared to walk 3 miles over flat gravel, dry and wet sand, and up/down trails over sand dunes. We will make multiple stops to discuss the ecology and history of the area. Participants are welcome to join for all or part of the hike.
If bad weather develops, an alternate plan will be communicated to the registered participants.
Parking: This is a Tillamook County Park-managed parking area. Please be sure to bring your annual pass and/or credit card (cash is not accepted) to pay the $10 parking fee.

Beginning this month on June 29th, I’ll be holding self-care acupressure classes in Nehalem at The Studio House.
I am Libby Golden Seaver, a Health and Movement Coach with a 25yr background in massage and bodywork therapies.
My life has been a journey of moving from illness to wellness. It’s long been my passion to share the skills I use to keep myself well, because I know how good it feels and I know you can do it! With regular self-care, our awesome bodies are capable of vibrant good health.

$55 for one class
$100 for both

5:45-6:15 Tea and refreshments
6:15-7:00 Low back/sciatic pain relief and energy bolstering acupressure routine instruction
Handouts with the points and their locations will go home with you. Or, there will be Acupressures Potent Points books for sale at a 10% discount from list price.
I currently have room for 8 members in my founders club. Founding members receive special pricing as follows:
$50 two class passes
$100 four class passes
$143 six class passes
Passes can be redeemed by you and shared as gifts

A quick note to share about my classes at NCRD. My name is Libby Golden Seaver and I’m a Health and Movement Coach.
Please know Qigong has moved from the gym to the Riverview room, but is still on Tuesday’s 11:15 – 12pm.
NCRD’s spring term runs through 6/16 (for qigong) We’ll be going over gigong principles of yin and yang, movement, breath, and motion. We’ll also be practicing standing meditation to release our overly tense bodies as well as tonifying where they are slack. Each class, we move through the 8 brocades, long known to support our bodies in balanced health. We will take a one week break on 6/23. The summer term at NCRD begins the next week and Qigong will resume on Tuesday 6/30.
Through the summer term, we’ll be taking an in-depth dive into each of the 8 brocades or 8 silken jewels as I’ve learned them. This is a great time to learn the form.
Please join us!
During the break week (6/21-6/27) there are other classes to check out at NCRD. Keep an eye out for their Try Me week schedule to find classes you may also enjoy.
I am taking a break that week, but will be back on June 30th for 10:15am Functional Fitness for Seniors where we work on balance, strength and coordination with restorative relaxation through movement as well. Michelle Churchill leads Functional Fitness for Seniors on Thursdays also at 10:15. You can check out her class on Try Me week. We both have different styles to offer your body well rounded health. Often in life and our careers it’s good to keep focused on one main thing, but in our health, balance and variety is key to keeping our bodies well supported.
Thank you! We hope to see you soon 🙂
Kindly,
Libby
