When it comes to recruiting people to the climate movement here in Nanaimo\, we know we’ve barely scratched the surface.  \n\n\n\n​Challenge: Nanaimo Climate Action friends and members — you know we love you\, BUT we need your help recruiting new people to the movement!  \n\n\n\n​To register to attend this event you must bring at least one other person who has never attended an NCAH event. Ask a neighbour\, a co-worker\, someone from school or church. Easy!  \n\n\n\n​In addition to free pizza\, they’re going to want to come because… Big Oil billionaires and their political allies are trying to persuade us that fossil fuels are a source of stability and growth.  \n\n\n\n​But we know that new fossil fuel expansion only offers short term profits for the powerful few – while unleashing death\, destruction\, and skyrocketing energy bills for the many. \n\n\n\n​Enough is enough. Our communities deserve the truth. \n\n\n\n​Register today for a great evening of pizza\, non-alcoholic bevs\, and a game of TOXIC TRIVIA: Busting Big Oil propaganda – one game at a time. \n\n\n\nWhen: Thursday\, May 14th 6:30 – 8:30 \n\n\n\nWhere: My Inner Harbour\, 149 Wallace St\, Nanaimo

SUMMARY:Alchemy Deck + Self-Care Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Create your own Alchemy Deck: Saturday\, May 2nd 1:00-5:00pm. \n\n\n\nTurn words & images into gold. Join Bella Doyle & Jessica Schafer in creating a pocket-size deck of wisdom and comfort. Your Alchemy Deck will help you validate what you’re experiencing\, explore who you’re becoming and name what you need on your journey.  \n\n\n\nYour deck is intended to travel with you through daily life\, providing encouragement and affirmation when you need it. Sometimes we just need to remind ourselves of the things we already know.  \n\n\n\nThis event will help you create the deck and give you a list of prompts and suggestions for how to add to it on your own. All supplies provided.  \n\n\n\nDrop-in anytime between 1:00-4:00pm to get set up with materials and instructions. Last drop-in time is 4:00pm to give you enough time to get a solid start.  \n\n\n\nIf you’d like to join us for a monthly meet-up\, we’ll be hosting an Alchemy Circle once a month where we’ll check in on how our cards are serving us and add a new card or two as needed. Our first Circle will be June 18th from 6:30-8:00pm.Members free. $25 for drop-in guests. (apologies we incorrectly stated $10 in our newsletter).
