Community Calendar

Tracey Barnes Priestley invites you to take a break from the noise of the week and spend a relaxed hour of respectful conversation and quiet connection. This class is simply taking an hour to pause and remember that we don't have to carry everything alone. This is a welcoming gathering where people can listen, talk if they wish or simply be present. There's no pressure, no fixing, and no debating - just respectful conversation and quiet connection. Classes held at HLOC's The SPACE in Sunny Brae; 92 Sunny Brae Center, Arcata Ca

Humboldt Repair Café is a free program where community members can bring in small items and receive expert assistance with repair.

A Repair Café is a community-driven event where people can bring their broken items to be repaired by volunteer experts. These volunteers, ranging from electricians and seamstresses to bike mechanics and woodworkers, are passionate about fixing things and helping others. The Repair Café not only encourages sustainability by preventing waste but also fosters a sense of community, learning and creativity.

Event Highlights:

Free Repairs: Bring broken items and get them fixed for free by skilled volunteers.
Expert Advice: Volunteers will provide tips on how to fix items at home and extend the life of these belongings.
All Ages Welcome: The Repair Café is family-friendly and encourages everyone to get involved.
Community Building: Meet neighbors, share knowledge and collaborate on keeping items out of landfills.
How It Works:

Bring Broken Items: Gather items to get repaired and bring them to the event.
Get Matched with a Volunteer: A team of experts will match participants with the right volunteer based on the items brought.
Learn and Fix Together: Watch as the repair happens, learn valuable skills and ask questions during the process.
The first Humboldt Repair Café will take place on Sunday, April 6 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Arcata Community, 321 Dr. MLK Jr. Parkway. This event is free and attendees should bring broken household items, clothing, small appliances, electronics and similar items, but motor vehicles, large household appliances and anything that cannot be individually carried through a doorway should be left at home.

I am re-submitting this as I may not have selected reoccurring weekly on my original submission. This class is once a week for 5 weeks. Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.

This 5 week class uses rhythm of music from different genres to heighten the mind-body connection gradually building mental and physical flexibility. Taught by Fiona Gadd Ryder, trained Yoga teacher, musical theatre performer and dance enthusiast who has a love of bringing people together through movement. A fun class and a great way to connect with other likeminded "movers and shakers". Classes held at HLOC's The SPACE in Sunny Brae; 92 Sunny Brae Center, Arcata Ca
