Beachside Writer’s Retreat

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Hello, BBQ!
I am one of the full-time book editors in the area and I will be hosting a 5-day residential writer’s retreat in a beachside home this February 20–24. Writers of any genre and at any level of publication (or not) are invited to attend.
Along with our focus on contemplation, creativity, community, and craft, we will enjoy some lovely self-care elements including delicious meals by Heidi Cummins (of Roost fame) and massage by the fabulous Gia Shaw. Writers will have an opportunity to schedule a 1:1 with an experienced editor to discuss their projects and established literary agent Chip MacGregor will be offering an “ask me anything” Q & A session to all attendees. Of course there will be plenty of focused writing time as well.
So far we have writers coming from IL, NE, NC, CA, and OR and we still have a couple of spots left. Registration closes on December 15 or when the retreat is full—whichever happens first.
Please email retreat@wellversedtranslations.com if you’re interested, and I’ll be happy to send you our flyer with all of the details!
With appreciation,
Christina Pfister Editor, Writer, and Retreat Host

Winter Solstice Retreat Day- Wed. Dec. 21st

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: revolutionginger@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Join us as we gather to honor and celebrate the longest night of the year. This is a time to get cozy by the fire, sip tea, enjoy the heat of the sauna, sit in sacred circle and make solstice crafts!

Leading this celebration are two inspirational weavers of art and magic.

Iris Sullivan Daire of Dreambird Studios in Astoria

Adria Badagnani of Art & Channel in Manzanita.

Iris begins the day by leading a Solstice natural dye class using the stored sunlight of dried summer flowers to infuse bright golden rays onto cotton cloth.

If you have never tried your hand at turning garden flowers to fabric pigment you will be delighted to learn the magic of this process! These golden dyed cloths can then be stitched into gift bags, altar cloths or bandanas to keep or give as gifts.

Following your natural dye class you are invited to bask in the luxurious warmth of our wood fired sauna. Perfect medicine for cold winter days- our riverfront sauna experience will also include a kelp mineral face mask and cold plunge (optional) to replenish dry winter skin and stimulate your immune and lymphatic system.

End your day of celebration with a Winter Solstice ritual led by Adria.

In circle we will first honor the darkness and what lies in the unknown before welcoming the light back with candle magic. With a poetic invocation of the elements, our sacred circle will open to create intentions, receive the wisdom of the darkness, and bring light into the New Year.

Sweet elemental surprises & gifts await each participant in this circle!

Our farm blended teas and snacks will be available for you to enjoy throughout the day!

There are only 7 spaces remaining for this retreat. Use the link below to reserve your spot today.

Celebrate winter by creating a festive botanical drawing taking inspiration from winter fruit, foliage, or winter branches. You may work in your sketchbook, paper of your choice, or perhaps create a winter-themed holiday card. We will look at creative and festive ways to arrange your winter treasures. The workshop will include a presentation of Dorota’s botanical drawings of seasonal plants, step-by-step examples, a demonstration of how to approach drawing from observation and various colored pencils techniques, and a time to draw together. Dorota plans to include how you can turn your botanical drawings into greeting cards. Although drawing in the realistic form will be the focus, individual styles will be encouraged and celebrated.

Seeking Artists/Crafters for Holiday Bazaar

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Hello BBQ!

We’re seeking a few more artists and crafters for our upcoming Holiday Bazaar. (See poster for dates and details.)

We’re especially looking to add some folks who might offer something like… tea/coffee/edible things… natural cleaners would also be a cool addition.

But really, we’re all ears–let us know what you might like to sell/exhibit, and we’ll see if it’s a fit.

Just so you know: artists/exhibitors do not need to be present at the Bazaar. Simply drop off your work and we handle all sales. (You keep 75% of the proceeds; there’s no cost/risk to exhibiting.)

If you have any questions, let us know. Otherwise, share with your artist/crafter friends!

Thanks,
-The Tolovana Arts Colony
