SoulCollage is a process for creating incredible collaged cards with deep personal meaning that will help you with life’s questions and transitions. The process is often used as a method of self-discovery and transformation.
First, you will be guided through the intuitive process of making your own SoulCollage® cards. Then we will gather in small groups and learn how to read the cards by giving voice to the images. This is where the process which begins as simple creative fun, might surprise you.
This is a multi-layered creative process that anyone can do. Beginners are welcome and encouraged to attend!
Carolyn Greenwood has been a Certified SoulCollage Facilitator since 2015
This will be a hybrid event: The talk will be offered in person at the library and online through the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary.org.
“Under the Henfluence” blends Danovich’s personal experience as an obsessed chicken keeper with her animal welfare reporting. While she offers a sobering picture of the cruel treatment inherent in the industrial agriculture approach to chicken farming, Danovich also recounts her initial chicken-keeping efforts in charming, often-funny and sometimes heart-breaking detail, as she welcomes her first four, fuzzy chicks.
The lives of these quirky and mysterious birds are told through interviews with the people breeding, training, healing and adoring chickens. Perhaps most endearing are her interviews with people who own and interact with chickens as they groom them as show animals, raise them as 4-H projects, use them as therapy animals or rescue them from inhumane treatment.
What emerges is an entertaining picture of an animal that is too-often overlooked and under-appreciated, and the people who are devoted to them.
Danovich is a freelance journalist and culture reporter who has written for the New York
Times, the Washington Post, and many others. She lives outside Portland, where she
keeps eight chickens.
Danovich’s talk is sponsored by the library’s NW Authors Series Committee that hosts authors monthly from September through May. The committee also conducts the Writers Read Celebration, which offers local writers an opportunity to write and read their own work on a specific theme. This year, the Writers Read Celebration is March 22, in the library and on Zoom. The theme is “Beach Noir.”

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.
Christy is a Reiki Master/Teacher, Certified Sound Healer, Certified Crystal Therapy Practitioner, Registered Holistic Health Practitioner, and Registered Metaphysician who blends a large array of healing modalities together to help you truly heal!

It’s a lovely thing to do this IN COMMUNITY with others who are also choosing to go deeper.
Saint Catherine’s begins the season of Lent with an Ash Wednesday Service (half hour with imposition of ashes), which begins at 12 noon on February 14th.
Then, we will gather every Thursday at 5pm until Easter, for Soup Suppers to share the lenten journey together with soup, reflection, conversation, prayer and support for the changes we want to bring to our lives and relationships, with God’s help and grace.
All are welcome.
Last Friday’s new moon opened the Dragon’s Gate.
Hold onto your hat- it’s gonna be a wild ride.
Speaking of hats…. did you know there’s a 3 day weekend coming up?
This Saturday (Feb. 17th) North Fork 53’s hosting our first art workshop of 2024.
And because Dragons requires fresh fashion and style- this one is going to be all about color and creativity.

The very talented artist and teacher- Iris Sullivan Daire is coming down from Astoria to teach us how to add color and texture to wool.
She’s bringing steaming kettles of her beautiful plant based dyes grown from her gardens (think indigo and madder root).
You’ll get to hand dye a merino wool cap in whatever color you like and then learn to needle felt a design onto it.
While your hat steeps in the dye pot, you’ll get to relax in the wood fired sauna- because crafting/ spa days are pretty much the best combo ever.
Then you’ll come back to our cozy kitchen studio and learn to needle felt your own personal touches to your hat- a dragon, a heart, an ocean wave- whatever your look is for 2024.
You’ll leave the workshop with a one of kind merino wool hat that only you could create!
What better way to spend a late winter day?
All materials for the class and sauna are provided including tea and snacks!

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?
