Autumn Forest Therapy Walk
Thursday, November 7
12pm-2pm
Nehalem Or

Need a safe place to slow down and be present in the solace of nature? Forest Therapy was Inspired by the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing (or Shinrin-yoku), a mindfulness practice that invites you to immerse yourself in the forest through your senses.

As your dedicated guide, I will lead you on a journey through a beautiful rainforest with a series of “invitations” meant to awaken your senses and help you connect with nature in new ways.

After our walk, we will gather for tea and sharing. Participants emerge feeling lighter, stress-free, and deeply connected to the world around and within them. Join me in this experience where nature becomes your therapy.

There are still a few spots left! To register, click the link below.

Forests & Ales: Protecting Forests, Fish, and Drinking Water on the North Coast

Join us at Fort George’s Lovell Showroom in Astoria, OR Wednesday November 6th at 5pm for a community event to discuss forest issues on the North Coast.

The event is sponsored by Wild Salmon Center, North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection, and Coast Range Association. Featured speakers include Michael Lang, senior policy manager at Wild Salmon Center; Chuck Willer, executive director of Coast Range Association; and Nancy Webster, president of North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection. Following the presentations, the three speakers will participate in a Q&A panel.

Doors open at 5pm for a social hour, program is from 6pm – 8pm at the Fort George Lovell Room in Astoria.
Wild Salmon Center is hosting the first round of beverages (Beer, wine, N.A.) for the first 50 attendees!

The mission of Wild Salmon Center is to promote the conservation and sustainable use of wild salmon ecosystems across the Pacific Rim. Working across the entire range of Pacific salmon, from California to the Western Pacific, we lead the protection of strongholds, the North Pacific’s last, best salmon rivers. Over 30 years, we have worked alongside local partners to protect nearly eight million acres around salmon stronghold rivers and prioritize 89 of those rivers for wild fish. More at wildsalmoncenter.org

North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is a grassroots group that advocates for the protection of drinking water on the Oregon Coast. The non-profit aims to end logging and pesticide spray within and surrounding forested drinking watersheds in the state, regardless of land ownership. The group started in 2012 by Nancy Webster, a Rockaway citizen concerned about the clearcutting of forestland and aerial pesticide spraying in the Jetty Creek Watershed—the sole source of her community’s drinking water. More at healthywatershed.org

Coast Range Association is a 501c(3) nonprofit that has been working since 1991 to find just protections for Western Oregon’s forests while supporting a vibrant rural economy. The CRA’s work looks to address the underlying causes of social and environmental problems and seeks to instill common understanding, foster social unity, and provide practical solutions. We make every effort to speak directly to the connecting interests of people, communities and long-term sustainability. More at coastrange.org

Ingrid Scott, founder of Dance Pod Aerobics, is offering two special events this coming weekend (Nov. 1 and 2) at the new Sea Dream studio in Nehalem! A crystal singing bowl sound healing event Friday evening; somatic dance aerobics Saturday morning!

Here is some information about these two events:

FRIDAY, NOV 1 | 6pm-8:30pm: “Hush Hour” Sacred Circle and Relaxing Sound Bath

Enjoy an evening of community connection, deep self-love and serenity! You’ll move through a gentle guided somatic experience and be serenaded by a crystal singing bowl sound bath, guided meditation & herbal infusions — known as Hush Hour!

About Hush Hour:

Hush Hour is a sound bath with 7 quartz crystal bowl instruments where we’ll gently remove energy blockages from the subtle body fields and connect deeper within. We’ll do so through gentle guided somatic movement, relaxation meditation, and regenerative sound frequencies that tune the brain to a healing Theta state. This is re-balancing for cortisol levels and soothing for the parasympathetic nervous system.

What to expect at Hush Hour:

~The space is set up to inspire deep relaxation with a supportive intentional cozy environment. You can bring a mat and anything else that will assist you in comfort. Doors open 10 minutes before start time.

~ First we will open our circle with the option to set any intentions you have for the cycle of your life right now, and light a candle for the altar to embody your intentions.

~Next is our sound bath, which is an hour long. We ease into the experience through guided gentle movement, meditations that shift with the cycles and seasons, breath, and visualization to send love, compassion, and healing inwardly and outwardly.

~ After the sound bath you are invited to embody the space that has been created. There will be an opportunity for journaling, sharing, and closing our circle with intention.

When: Friday, November 1 | 6pm-8:30pm

Where: Sea Dream | 35915 N Hwy 101, Nehalem, OR 97131

Come immerse yourself in the world of November Hoffman Gallery artist Robert Gamblin as he discusses his explorations in color at the Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve at the Hoffman Center for the Arts on Friday, November 1, from 7-8 pm.

In the artist’s words:
“My studio is on the Oregon coast on Cascade Head, part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. My subject matter is the landscape around me. My intention as an artist is to reach for the transcendent. In the biosphere reserve the transcendent is the normal, not the extraordinary. One must only come with senses wide open to experience it, to recognize nature as profound and powerful in and of itself.”

Robert will show slides and talk about the scope of this work and the influences that inform his practice.
Robert is a founder of Gamblin Artists Colors, an international brand of oil painting and printmaking materials located in Portland, Oregon. He will also be leading an art class on November 3: A Day Exploring Color. You can find out more about both events on our website: hoffmanarts.org/events/robert-gamblin-wrkshp/?
