Sound Bath with Sasha

"If you're looking for a new way to meditate, relax, or reduce stress, sound baths may be a helpful option. Participants usually lie on the ground with a yoga mat, blankets, pillows, or seated in a chair and listen to the sound of the singing bowls and other instruments.  A sound bath is different from a normal music presentation in that the sounds are put together in a sometimes unrhythmic pattern to break patterns in the mind. This sound bath will be 45 minutes.". Event Title: L4Humboldt. Organization: LIBRARY, CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER. Responsible Person at Event Name: Sasha Wallace. Thursday, July 9, 2026, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM. Library 209 - Library Fishbowl.

Mentoring Youth in Community Research

Young people globally are increasingly engaged in addressing socio-economic problems. At the same time, many of the organizing strategies have focused on mobilizing constituencies such as; environmentalists, people of color or LGBTQ+ groups. Unfortunately, less consideration has been given to allowing more time for young people to self-identify what is important to them. When nurturing more people to participate in civic engagement, especially at the local level, it is essential to ground that process in allowing each participant to ask themselves, “what specific issues most impact me and my community?” Not surprisingly, when given the opportunity, most find answers while discussing similar challenges with other young people who are unafraid to question the social conditions they find themselves in. You are invited to join a crew of mentors of inquisitive young people who wish to discuss and investigate the sources of underlying issues impacting their daily life in Humboldt County.
