This July at Make.Shift Gallery\, five Bellin gham-based artists explore the process of beginning again. Lurm (aka Adrie n Converse)\, Johnny Gialanella\, Karen Hanrahan\, Jess Molnar\, and Monic a Ramey each bring a unique approach to the process of breathing new life into old objects and images.\n\nLurm’s “Art Breeding” series involve s cutting up and reorganizing the artist’s older works into a brand new creation -- each “child” piece comes from the materials of two “pare nt” works. Gialanella’s digital collages historical images into a mode rn narrative exploring themes of inadequacy\, longing\, and mental health. For Hanrahan’s “Inspirit-Form Quilted\,” the artist has sewn togeth er a previous magazine collage series into several new amalgamations of hu man/animal hybrids. Molnar’s 15-year project “Forest for the Trees” is a sculptural rearrangement of the artist’s personal diary and journal entries. And Ramey’s photoshopped worlds imagine everyday objects in a dreamy otherworldly landscape.\n\nJoin us for the opening reception on Fir st Friday Art Walk July 5th. During this celebration\, we will also be auc tioning the interactive art piece created during June Art Walk in partners hip with RagFinery. Proceeds will be split between Make.Shift and RagFiner y.\nFor more information about the Art Walk or Make.Shift please visit our website at makeshiftproject.com or contact Jessyca Murphy at gallery@make shiftproject.com.\n\nMake.Shift July Art Walk\nEvent Details\nWHAT: Art Wa lk\; Regeneration: Making sense of it all\nWHEN: Friday\, July 5th\, 2019 6-10PM\nWHERE: Make.Shift Art Space 306 Flora St. in downtown Bellingham\n COST: Free!\nIMAGE: “REGENERATION.PNG” (Artwork by Johnny Gialanella)\ nCONTACT: Jessyca Murphy gallery@makeshiftproject.com CATEGORIES:Member & Partner Events LOCATION:Make.Shift Art Space\, 306 Flora St.\, Bellingham \, WA\, 98225\, United States GEO:48.7531033;-122.4800295 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=306 Flora St.\, Bellingham \, WA\, 98225\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Make.Shift Art Sp ace:geo:48.7531033,-122.4800295 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1249@sustainableconnections.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190715T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190715T140000 DTSTAMP:20190625T191343Z URL:https://eatlocalfirst.org/all-events/chef-farm-tour-july-2019/#new_tab SUMMARY:Chef Farm Tour DESCRIPTION:One of our FAVORITE events of the year\, the Chef Farm Tour get s you out of the kitchen/store/office and onto a farm—and we’ll do the driving!

But most of the time these ideas remain fleeting. (I mean \, who has the time to intentionally get clear about what you want to crea te in your life?)\n\nEveryone from Katy Perry to Ellen Degeneres to Oprah Winfrey swears that they intentionally created outcomes by using a simple tool: Vision Boards. A Vision Board is a way to sell your own ideas to you rself\, to anchor to your dreams and to allow the magic of manifestation t o work in your life. Finally!\n\nAs someone who has made my own Vision Boa rds (and manifested some amazing results!)\, I've learned it's more than j ust slapping a picture onto a poster board. It's about first getting clear on the life you want\, letting go of what's in the way - and then clearly connecting with your dreams while designing a vision that calls to you.\n \nThat's why I'm leading this one-time-only CREATE YOUR BEST LIFE VISION-B OARD WORKSHOP...to give you the space you need to intentionally define you r dreams and create a Vision Board that will effortlessly attract your ide al outcomes to you!\n\nHERE'S WHAT YOU'LL GET\n- Clarity on what you reall y want (No more settling for someone else's dreams)\n- Space and time to m ap out ideal outcomes &\; goals in different areas of your life\n- Conn ection with like-minded peers (No Negative Nellies permitted!)\n- A method to clean out the "gunk" that comes up (Time to let go!)\n- All the tools and time to create your own powerful Vision Board (You don't have to bring a thing. I've got all the materials you'll need right in the room!)\n- Yo ur very own Vision Board to take home and effortlessly attract your ideal outcomes in the year ahead\n- 3+ hours of breathing room and dream-time. ( That thing you keep telling yourself you'll give yourself but never do!)\n - Light snacks and beverages\n\nWhat to bring:\n- Come with an open mind a nd a positive attitude\n- Bring your favorite writing implement and journa l if you'd like to take notes\n- Feel free to bring your dinner or place a n order for delivery at Prime through Guud Bowls* (be sure to place your o rder by 3pm on 12/30/19)\n\nNote: To create a more intimate evening where powerful insights and awarenesses can happen for the group\, this workshop has been intentionally kept small. Registration is limited to the first 1 5 participants who sign up.\n\nThis vision board session has been intentio nally planned before the new year to head into 2020 with more inspiration\ , clarity\, and momentum than ever before.\n\nCoach Erica Quam spent 15 ye ars in Division 1 Athletics helping her athletes set and achieve their goa ls - both in and out of the pool.

You don't have to know how exa ctly to get anywhere. There may not be a specific destination or arrival. It's more about allowing life to unfold instead of forcing things to happe n by being driven and determined. Plus...with all the uncertainty in our w orld\, you may find it hard to muster up the willpower or discipline to "j ust do it" or "make" things happen.\n\nIt's been a couple years since I've made a Vision Board and I'm ready to create a new one! Do you want to joi n me?\n\nAnd before you get cynical (like I was before I made my first vis ion board)...the answer is: "Yes! There is more to it than just slapping p ictures onto a poster board."\n\nIt's about getting clear on what you want \, letting go of what's in the way - and then clearly connecting with your dreams while designing a vision that pulls you forward.\n\nI'm leading th is VIRTUAL VISION-BOARD WORKSHOP...to give you the space you need to defin e what you want and create a Vision Board that will allow you to move in t hat direction - with less effort.\n\nPlus...it's hard to do this kind of w ork on your own. It's great to have the company of other people - even if it's virtual.\n\nMonday\, January 24th at 5:30pm pacific\, will be an oppo rtunity for you to realign with your core values and get back on track wit h your dreams and intentions...without even having to leave the comfort of your home!\n\nHERE'S WHAT YOU'LL GET\n\nClarity on what YOU really want ( Not settling for someone else's dreams)\n\nSpace and time to map out goals and priorities in different areas of your life\n\nConnection with like-mi nded peers (No 'Negative Nellies' allowed!)\n\nA method to clean out the " gunk" that comes up (Time to let some stuff go!)\n\nA Vision Board to stay anchored to (during any unexpected twists or turns)\n\n3+ hours of breath ing room and dream-time. (That you keep telling yourself you'll give yours elf but never actually do!)\n\nNote: To create a more intimate time togeth er\, this workshop has been intentionally kept small. Registration is limi ted to the first 15 participants who sign up.\n\nThis vision board session has been intentionally planned a few weeks into the new year to allow you to come in with a greater awareness of what's working and what's not work ing in your life.\n\nCoach Erica Quam spent 15 years in Division 1 Athleti cs helping her athletes set and achieve their goals - both in and out of t he pool.

Qi is a life-sustaining energy force that runs through the body through the mer idans. Imbalance that leads to illness can result when the Qi isn't runnin g smoothly.\n\nThis experience will use the power of acupressure and sound to activate acupressure points associated with relaxation and overall bal ance to remove blockages and promote the healthy movement of Qi along the Chinese meridians. The points will be activated by Swarovski crystals made specifically for acupressure.\n\nExtend the bliss! Following our one-hour guided experience\, you are encouraged to stay to connect with community while enjoying Kara's Beauty Barn's facilities that include: a cold plunge \, hot tub\, sauna\, affirmation alley\, and firepit\, - all in a beautifu l natural environment.\n\nA sound bath is a form of meditation in which pa rticipants are “bathed” in healing sound waves for the purpose of rest oring harmony and balance in the body. A cocoon of sound generated by chim es\, drums\, singing bowls and other musical instruments helps to relax an d recalibrate your nervous system.\n\nWe encourage you to bring yoga mats\ , blankets\, pillows- anything to create a cozy little nest to lay back an d relax in while you experience the healing power of sound. For this event \, you will also need to bring a bathing suit and towel. You will receive an email with more details for the event after registration.\n\nCost- $55\ n\nLimited spots available\, so make sure to register in advance. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the event begins to ground and set up yo ur nest. This event will be held outside\, so please dress accordingly.\n\ nWith gratitude and love.

His music draws upo n the rich tapestry of honest rhythms falling somewhere between early jazz \, blues\, swing\, fold\, and the tangible comforts of home. Bridging the likes of Woody Guthrie and Piedmont Blues\, his lyrics are anchored by the rustic\, country texture in his voice. He is a winner of the Telluride Bl ues and Brews Festival\, and Blues Challenge Competition\, and is also a r ecognized songwriter from the Telluride Troubadour National Songwriter Com petition. His music is compared to the talents of John Prine and with a vo ice just this side of the gravel he ‘sounds a bit like Bob Dylan’.

We have to be fearless\, courageous\, and draw upon wisdom that we think we don’t have.” – Wayne Shorter\n\nConsidered to be one of th e greatest jazz composers and saxophonists of all time\, Wayne Shorter is a recipient of 11 Grammy Awards\, a Lifetime Achievement Grammy\, five hon orary doctorate degrees\, the Kennedy Center Honor\, Polar Music Prize\, L ifetime Achievement Award from the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz and m any other awards and honors for his contributions to music.\n\nHe began wi th Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers in 1959 as saxophonist and composer\ , then joined Miles Davis Second Great Quintet in 1964\, while independent ly recording eleven albums featuring his own compositions for Blue Note Re cords.

According to Susa n Sontag in her seminal 1964 essay “Notes On ‘Camp\,’” it’s a p articular mode of aesthetic appreciation that celebrates the artificial\, the frivolous\, and the extravagant. Those of us who are queer or otherw ise on the margins\, with our fine-tuned skills at observing mainstream c ulture\, are particularly adept at knowing it when we see it. \n\n \n\nAs Sontag points out\, camp originated as a sensibility among “homosexual s\,” which is itself such a wonderfully dated and campy term. Along wit h being a “private code” and “badge of identity” for sexual outsi ders\, camp is also genderqueer\, or as Sontag put it\, “androgynous.” Camp puts everything in ironic quotation marks\, especially “feminini ty.” It loves a double entendre. It’s theatrical\, flamboyant\, and r ococo: camp is a Tiffany lamp. It’s also sentimental about the past and melodramatic. Camp is failed seriousness. Camp is “too much.” Camp i s best when it’s naive\, because camp that tries to be camp isn’t sat isfying. Unless of course it’s all-in and fully committed\, but nothing in between! Camp is “instant character”: it’s the actor who can ne ver disappear into a role but will always remain irrepressibly themself. Camp is Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.

Immerse yourself in the intensely mesmerizing art of Butoh and experience a unique blend of dance \, theater\, and performance art. This event is a production of the 4th-ev er Salish Sea Butoh Festival in Western Washington Pacific Northwest.

Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to witness region al and INTERNATIONAL artists showcase their passion on stage.\n\nABOUT BUT OH: Butoh (舞踏\, Butō) is an avant-garde form of dance-theater that or iginated in Tokyo\, Japan shortly after WWII. It is characterized by physi cal movements that move towards the earth and the subconscious. Butoh\, wh ich is influenced by Surrealism\, Dada\, French Existentialism\, German Ex pressionism\, Japanese theater\, and Eastern spiritual thought\, was devel oped in the late 1950s and 1960s through experimental performances led by founder Tatsumi Hijikata and his collaborators Kazuo Ohno\, Yoshito Ohno\, Yoko Ashikawa and others. Their work established Butoh as disciplined and rigorous\, yet spontaneous and experimental\, intellectual and philisophi cal\, yet grounded in the human body. Instead of aspiring to an aesthetic ideal\, Butoh reveals the primordial human being and the inner world. It i mplies total presence where dance is an expression of being in the world a s well as containing the world within oneself. Butoh grows from themes suc h as dreams\, ghosts\, androgyny\, nature\, solitude\, and the natural cyc les of life and death.\n\nCost: $20.00\n\nPurchase advance tickets Here\n\ nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/salish-sea-butoh-festival-live-performance-g ala-tickets-922245600417 CATEGORIES:Member & Partner Events LOCATION:FireHouse Arts and Events Center\, 1314 Harris Avenue\, Bellingham \, WA\, 98225\, United States GEO:48.719855;-122.500182 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=1314 Harris Avenue\, Bellin gham\, WA\, 98225\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=FireHouse Art s and Events Center:geo:48.719855,-122.500182 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3030@sustainableconnections.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE:20240817 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE:20240819 DTSTAMP:20240806T213753Z URL:https://sustainableconnections.org/events/summer-waterfront-arts-marke t/ SUMMARY:Summer Waterfront Arts Market DESCRIPTION:\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/share/9EGboFK2UBzcNvYq/\n Save th e Date! \nGet ready for an incredible weekend on August 17th and 18th as the Bellingham Makers Market joins forces with the Noisy Waters Mural Fest ival!

A cocoon of so und generated by chimes\, drums\, singing bowls and other musical instrume nts helps to relax and recalibrate your nervous system.\n\nWe encourage yo u to bring yoga mats\, blankets\, pillows- anything to create a cozy littl e nest to lay back and relax in while you experience the healing power of sound.

She adopted an importan t piece of his life philosophy: happiness is playing a guitar and singing with friends. Her love of the stage took her all the way from upstate New York to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. When she saw the music sce ne in the Pacific Northwest\, she realized she had to be part of it. She f ollowed her heart's desire and jumped into the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop \, where she found a bottomless well of inspiration.\n\nTara Caldwell’s musical roots rise from the mountains and prairies of Alberta and the folk traditions of the labor movement. An accomplished singer and songwriter\, Tara finds inspiration in the brighter spots as well as the darker corner s of human experience. As a two-year-old child\, she "imprinted" with the banjo and has been following it around ever since. When Tara and Dianne me t at their children’s preschool\, they discovered their near-perfect sib ilant harmony and immediately grew ambitious about performing\, recording\ , and living out their musical dreams together.\n\nThis event is not ticke ted.

Not only will the mulch improve so il structure as it decomposes\, but it also supports plants by conserving soil moisture\, moderating temperature\, and impeding the growth of weeds and grasses. This project is on a tributary that runs directly into Tenmil e Creek\, a tributary of the Nooksack River.\n\nTenmile Creek has historic al documented presence of chum and coho\, as well as steelhead and residen t trout. In the early 1900’s this creek supported large runs of chum and coho that continued into the 30’s. These runs were so plentiful that so me of the salmon carcasses would overflow into nearby fields. However\, du e to extensive habitat alteration and degradation\, salmon runs drasticall y declined in the 50’s and 60’s.\n\nStreamside native vegetation was l ost in the process of modifying the creeks to better suit farmlands. This meant that there was a decrease in large woody debris (LWD) inputs and an increase in flow of sediments and nutrients into the creeks. The loss of n ative vegetation meant that invasive species\, such as reed canary grass\, could flourish and quickly overtake the riparian zone. Reed canary grass clogs streams and slows the flow of water making it very hard for salmon t o swim in slow\, murky waters.\n\nFind out more and register at https://ww w.n-sea.org/stream-stewards CATEGORIES:Member & Partner Events LOCATION:Meridian High School\, 214 W Laurel Rd\, Bellingham\, WA\, 98226\, United States GEO:48.855578;-122.491586 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=214 W Laurel Rd\, Bellingha m\, WA\, 98226\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Meridian High Sc hool:geo:48.855578,-122.491586 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3464@sustainableconnections.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250517T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250517T120000 DTSTAMP:20250404T212623Z URL:https://sustainableconnections.org/events/community-work-party-at-memo rial-park-2/ SUMMARY:Community Work Party at Memorial Park DESCRIPTION:Join the City of Bellingham along with volunteers from the Rota ry Club of Bellingham and the Sunnyland Neighborhood Association to clean up the memorials and park grounds for Memorial Day weekend!\n\nAll ages an d abilities welcome.
