The Trash Bash Arts Festival is about to turn 25. That’s right! It has been 25 years since the very first celebration of reimagined trash and it’s time to come out again to celebrate the artistry and creativity of our community. Together, let’s reimagine all the things that trash can be:
Can it be a great story and conversation piece? Oh, yes it can.
Can it be beautiful art? Absolutely.
Can it bring us together as a community to sing and dance and find creative ways to keep it out of landfills? You betcha.
And can it be a wearable designer gown, lighting up a runway? Well, why not come out and see for yourself?
Heart of Cartm is inviting every community member to come out to the White Clover Grange in Nehalem, OR, from Thursday, May 16 to Sunday, May 19, 2024, to celebrate the silver jubilee of the Trash Bash Arts Festival. There will be music, food, art, and spoken word. There will be fun. There will be trashion, and there will be . . . a community that is not afraid of facing its trash head-on and gathers to playfully discover all the things that trash can be. Don’t miss out on all this fun!
In fact, why not help us shape the celebration? Don’t just stand on the sidelines; we want you to dive in and get involved. Whether you’d like to volunteer, donate to the cause, submit art, tell a trash tale, or walk the runway, we want you rising from the trashes with us!
This year’s poignant Trash Bash theme is “RISING FROM THE TRASHES”. Jessi Just, Executive Director of Heart of Cartm in Wheeler, OR, points out that the board chose this theme because it rang true for so many of us who are rebuilding, reorganizing, and reimagining our lives after the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, the image of a phoenix rising from the (tr)ashes even describes Heart of Cartm’s story itself, which had to be reimagined into existence after the contract with the transfer station in Manzanita was not renewed in 2018. Thankfully the board persevered, continued to meet, and reimagined itself as Heart of Cartm, which carries on CARTM’s original mission to lead our community to zero waste. Heart of Cartm opened its new creative reuse store in Wheeler in 2021 and welcomes visitors, patrons, donors, and volunteers Thursday–Monday, noon–6pm.
So, come on out and be part of the fun! Let’s celebrate transformation, community, and creativity (all while keeping our waste out of landfills) as together we Rise from the Trashes!
To become a creative community activist, help us keep trash out of landfills, and have fun while you’re at it, sign up at www.heartofcartm.org/trash-bash-2024#involved and let us know how you’d like to get involved. We can’t wait to see you there!

Save the date and join us! Once again, here are the details:
LOCATION: White Clover Grange, Nehalem, Oregon
DATE: Thursday, May 16 to Sunday, May 19, 2024

Did you know? Consuming sprouted nuts (especially walnut and almonds) reduces the chances of breast cancer development or recurrence! Consuming nuts beginning in early life increases these benefits (get our young ones eating them!) but now is always the best time to add them in if you’re not eating them already. A handful or two a day is all you need and they have myriad other benefits we can chat about. Get my method for easily sprouting nuts at home (or where to buy them) when you attend any or all of the upcoming Breast Health Sunday Sauna Series.

Statistics say approximately 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Did you know? you can make lifestyle adjustments to decrease that likelihood! I learned how to empower myself against recurrence. Let me share these techniques with you so you don’t have to 🙂
Living a cancer preventive life feels soooo good! Reserve your space today!

First Sauna session is Sunday Feb. 25th
11:00 – 1:30
Receive skin brush mitts to keep and a full-body brushing method great for lymph and circulation flow as well as creating glowing skin.
Apply a kelp clay breast and face mask.
Enjoy the sauna with cold-plunge option for an hour.
Receive a Breast Friend oil blend with instructions for regular application.
Breast friendly herbal tea and light refreshment.
