Everyone is welcome to attend our Conscious Aging and Community Connection Community session Monday. We will exchange information and learn from one another as we discuss resources in our area.
Organizers of our group have assembled lists of resources:
Non-profits, Health Services, County Agencies and Services and Activities and Events and where to find out about them.
At first we planned to make copies of these lists for people attending the Feb. 12th meeting, but the combined list is 18 pages long. If you are unable to attend and would like this list, send me an email and I will reply with the list we’ve compiled in an attachment.
This is our first attempt at creating a resource list. We are interested in your comments and also will be looking to update it by adding new items and deleting resources that are no longer viable.
We’ll also talk about where to find personal services and small businesses in the area.
If you have experience with any of the following services, please bring names and contact information to share Monday:
Sewing/Alterations, Hair Dressers, Pedicure, Manicure, Dog Sitting/Grooming, Cat Sitting/Grooming, Technology Help, Uber Rides, Housesitting, House Cleaning, Handyman Services, Yard Work, Window Washing, House Painters, Plumbers, Mechanics, Knife Sharpening, Chimney/Fireplace Cleaning. What services are you looking for in our community?
Upcoming Conscious Aging and Community Connection Events:

April 8th: Oregon Humanities will hold a Conversation about Aging and Loneliness
Saturday April 27th: A Special Event on Green Burials to be held at NCRD from 2-4PM , $10

Meet your practitioners:
Megan Lucas, LAc, MAOM. NADA certified.
A licensed acupuncturist, Megan feels grateful to live on the north coast with her family. As a practitioner, she aims to help patients to improve their lives through deepening their relationship to their health through encouraging lifestyle changes. She offers acupuncture, bodywork, shiatsu, breathwork and recommendations on diet, movement, and herbal medicine. Her treatments focus on
the goals of the patient and the connection to their healing journey. As someone who has gone through intense illness and trauma, she understands the challenges people may face in their healing
journey.
She enjoys hiking, foraging, hunting, fly-fishing, writing, floating the river or collecting wild herbs for salves and tinctures, often alone and often with her family. She continues to work toward being a
beacon of light for others so they may more easily navigate the storm of life, and is looking for new opportunities to reach the community to offer services.
Christy Kay is a Vibrational Medicine Practitioner who lives on the North Oregon Coast. She has been studying health and wellness most of her life, in an effort to overcome chronic illness, including several autoimmune diagnoses. After a serious car accident over 10 years ago, she found herself with a traumatic brain injury, a broken back, and PTSD. With training and certifications in over a dozen healing modalities, she found the greatest relief through Energy Medicine. Sometimes it is hard to become unstuck. Using an array of energetic practices, her passion and gifts lie in facilitating healing on a deep energetic level for clients who want deeper peace, health, and wellness in their lives. When energetic flow is brought back into balance, we are more able to move forward and step into our Divine Self. Christy knows that healing the whole person, in all realms, will create more happy, vibrant souls who will create a better, more peaceful world. She has a private healing practice, Cosmic Healing NW, working one on one with clients since 2017. She opened Rising Hearts Studio in 2020 to be able to offer healing arts events to her community.
