There are only about 100 “repair cafes” in the US and ours is among them! Lots of rural areas have fixit folks, but we are pretty lucky out here on the coast to have a Repair Cafe. Our talented repair volunteers are willing to share their knowledge and skills to reduce waste and save you money.
Here are some examples of the fun registrations we see:
>Reclining Chair – Spring has sprung.
>Heater – Light turns on but nothing happens.
>Boom Box – Belt to play cassette tapes needs to be installed but I can’t figure out where it goes. I took the old one out without taking pictures.
>Toaster – Only one side toasts.
>Vacuum – Suction is mostly gone.
Recognize any of these frustrations? REGISTER NOW to reserve your spot at a repair table: www.heartofcartm.org/repaircafe
Repair Cafe, hosted by Heart of Cartm, serves as a hub for individuals who value sustainability, creativity, and community engagement. The Repair Cafe isn’t just about fixing broken items; it’s about sharing knowledge and skills, too. When you bring your broken toaster or worn-out work pants to our workshop, you have the opportunity to learn HOW to repair with guidance from our skilled volunteers. At a Repair Cafe, practical skills are passed on and valuable resources are saved.
Mark your calendars, and register NOW, for our next community wellness event on Saturday April 20th, 6 PM, here at Rising Hearts Studio. Join LAc Megan Lucas and Certified Sound Healer and Reiki Master Christy Kay for an evening of community wellness- Enjoy community acupuncture while bathing in the sounds of healing with Himalayan and Crystal Singing Bowls, and ending with a grounding tea offering.

Shamanic Breathwork is a powerful modality to help us go deeply into non-ordinary states of consciousness. In these states it is possible to bring forth hidden insights, release stuck emotions, and to connect with the infinite expanse of psyche and soul.
The breath and the music within this ceremony facilitate deep healing, transformation and self-awareness and empower us to live aligned with our innate wisdom.
Lynda Chick, RN is a Certified Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator through Venus Rising Association for Transformation.

Did you know that Tillamook County has a higher percentage of persons over 65 (28.4%) than does Oregon as a whole (19.2%)? What implications does this hold for the experiences of elders in our community?
Everyone is invited to participate in a discussion of “Loneliness and Aging” at a Conversation Project sponsored by Oregon Humanities. Facilitated by lifelong Oregonian Pamela Slaughter.
***********************************
Loneliness and isolation are common experiences for elderly people, especially for those who do not have nearby family members or who are not computer literate. What do you know about the elders in your life or in your neighborhood? Are they connected to their families in an enriching way? Do they belong to a caring community of some kind? This conversation is for elderly people and people who live near elders or have elderly people in their lives to explore questions, experiences, and obstacles to showing up for elderly people and to generate ideas for connection.
Facilitator Pamela Slaughter is a lifelong Oregonian with varied interests. She retired from her career as an adult protective service investigator for Multnomah County, where she saw firsthand how devastating loneliness and isolation can be. Pamela is the founder and executive director of People of Color Outdoors, a nonprofit designed to help facilitate the reconnection of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to the outdoors. She is the author of the children’s book Hi! My Name is Robin!, published in 2020, which she hopes will encourage families to bird watch together.

To make the invisible visible, you are invited to join the North Coast EOL Collective and Centerpoint Healing Arts for a personal and curious wander with our mortality. Through conversation, meditation, movement, reflection, consideration of our legacy and meaning-making, and laughter, we will explore our relationship with self and community as a collective approach to death and dying.
An artist talk and info session on the value of legacy projects in end-of-life care with co-founder Carolina Starrett.
Carolina Starrett, co-founder of the North Coast EOL Collective, explores the intricate structures of families, both physical and psychological, in her work. Originally from Southern California, Carolina contemplates the resilience inherent in each family iteration, considering how stories and language are embedded in the body and transmitted across generations.
With a dual focus on her roles as a doula and artist, Carolina employs materials and processes as tools for celebration and inquiry into how we collect, retain, and honor memories. Her artistic journey delves into the interplay between stories of family, community, and connection, inviting audiences to reflect on the profound capacity of objects to sustain and perpetuate relationships.
Carolina’s work serves as a meditation on the body as a vessel of love and memory, inviting viewers to contemplate the enduring significance of these intertwined elements in the fabric of human experience.
This Friday is our Open Jam Session, starts at 6 PM – bring your instruments, your voice, yourself, and let’s have some fun!
This is a free, fun event open to ALL!
Hope to see you then.

Just wanted to let you know there’s gonna be a super cool herbal class here at North Fork 53 in a few weeks.
I’ve been wanting to do more hands on workshops for a while now but the tea company kept me too busy to really get it going.
So this spring I asked my friend Julie at Laughing Rabbit Farm up near Astoria if she wanted to come down and share some of her herbal salve and tincture making skills.
Lucky for you, I’ve got a big jar of red poplar bud oil that’s been soaking in my pantry since last year.
So Julies gonna show us how to make the ultimate herbal first aid skin balm (aka the Balm of Gilead).
It’s a beeswax salve that smells delicious- like vanilla amber, and heals sunburn, bug bites, scrapes-even arthritis pain.
She’s also bringing my all time favorite spring herb- nettles!
If you have allergies, anemia or your body just needs a deep green boost after a long winter- nettles are the best.
She’ll show us how to create a nettle tincture from fresh and dried nettles and even how to make nettle pesto.
After the workshop, if you want to really treat your self- you can add on an herbal wood fired sauna and cold plunge where you’ll get a chance to play with a selection of Julie’s herbal skin oils and a clay mask for a nice spring body detox.
If you’ve been wanting learn about herbs but don’t know where to start- this is your chance! Getting hands on with plant medicine is the best way to learn how to make your own.
In just a few hours you’ll learn to make the Balm of Gilead and a Nettle Tincture- plus you’ll get lots of recipes to keep on playing with at home.
Only 12 spots are open so grab yours before they’re gone.

The Green Reaper to Appear in Nehalem!
Everything you want to know about green burial
Elizabeth Fournier, aka The Green Reaper, will speak at the North Coast Recreation District (NCRD), 36155 9th Street, Nehalem. The presentation will be held in the Gallery Saturday, April 27 from 2:00-4:00; $10 cash at the door.
Every year conventional funerals bury millions of tons of wood, concrete, and metals, as well as millions of gallons of carcinogenic embalming fluid. There is a more environmentally conscious and affordable way, and Elizabeth Fournier, affectionately dubbed the “Green Reaper,” walks you through it. She provides comprehensive and compassionate guidance, covering everything from green burial planning and home funeral basics to legal guidelines and outside-the-box options, such as burials at sea. Fournier points the way to green burial practices that consider both the environmental well-being of the planet and the economic well-being of loved ones.
Elizabeth is the author of The Green Burial Guidebook: Everything You Need to Plan an Affordable, Environmentally Friendly Burial. She is a member of the Advisory Board for the Green Burial Council, and the owner and operator of Cornerstone Funeral Services in Boring, Oregon.
Elizabeth will have copies of her books available for purchase.
For more information on Elizabeth, visit her website: thegreenreaper.org
This event is presented by Conscious Aging and Community Connections, Manzanita.
