Update – Martha and Brian Mallett

Our dear friend, neighbor and lifetime HPIC member Martha Mallett and her son Brian have lost their home to a fire. (See here and here on the West Seattle Blog.)

Martha wants everyone to know that she and Brian are okay. Brian’s hands are healing from burns he got in the fire. They are staying in a West Seattle motel until they can find a place to rent while their home is rebuilt. Martha sounds like her strong, determined self and is very busy with Brian, beginning the task of putting their lives back together. Her family is all around her, strong and supportive.

Things we can do:

  • Stop by the fundraiser this Saturday, organized by Martha and Brian’s neighbor Lisa Leininger:

Saturday, May 5th
Noon-5pm
8442 20th Ave SW (3 doors south of Martha’s house)
They will be selling hot dogs and lemonade to show their support for Martha and her son.
(Martha was very moved when I told her about this).

  • Wine For Our Times: We will miss Martha, our Raffle Queen, at Wine For Our Times this year (also this Saturday). However, this years’ raffle proceeds will be donated to Martha and Brian.
  • Martha asked for help finding a furnished, two-bedroom house with kitchen for her and Brian to rent while their house is being rebuilt. Let’s find them a great place in the neighborhood!

Here’s to the real and vital community Martha is so much a part of!

The indefatiguable Martha Mallett.

Intro to Reiki class coming April 24

Eileen Dey of The Reiki Training Program

Introduction to Reiki
Reiki (pronounced ray-kee), is a Japanese word derived from ‘Rei’(Universal wisdom) and ‘Ki’(life force energy’). It is an ancient healing method that rebalances the energy field (aura, electro-magnetic field) surrounding and infusing the physical body. By releasing energy ‘blocks’ Reiki helps restore the natural flow of life force, thus helping restore a person to physical, psychological and spiritual health. Eileen Dey, M.A., LMHC founder of the only state-certified vocational school of Reiki www.reikitrainingprogram.com in Highland Park presents this informative and hands-on talk. Free!

Six-Week Movement Study begins March 3

Saturday March 3 thru Saturday April 7
11am to 1pm; $15 per class; preregistration requested.

Rosalyn DeRoos and Angela Martinelli join forces to create a six week sound/movement study in deep West Seattle!! Let anyone in on the information, movers and non movers alike. Creators and innovators definitely indulge!

The best part about this class is that it is open to all walks of life and dance backgrounds, as well as babies and children. Angela has worked with adults and children in the same scope of instruction and found it to be a wonderful endeavor to have both parties working together through movement study. There will be imagery, storytelling, African rhythms, modern/contemporary as well as butoh and somatics bodywork. Please do not be hesitant to work with others, this shall be a communal intensive. Spread the word to anyone who is interested in using their bodies as a semiotic tool. Non verbal communication.

Preregister: email Angela Martinelli (miayogi@gmail.com)
