Outdoor Yoga Event on Tuesday in Manzanita!

Submitted By: aprilclarkyoga@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
THIS TUESDAY MORNING there is plenty of space still in our beautiful yoga & visualizations/affirmations/sound bath event!

It is sliding scale starting at $11 (and I a happy to work with anyone to make sure it’s affordable to all-just send a note.)

It’s a 2-hour event from 8:30am-10:30am at Dirty Bird’s Garden Center right at the center of Manzanita.

We’ll start with a seated 5-minute meditation to connect with nature. Then we’ll move through a 1-hour all-levels yoga sequence. This will be fairly active and a bit of a workout, but no worries if you’re new to yoga.

After we move, we’ll spend about 40 minutes in very gentle and relaxing, restorative yoga and shapes, with a hand pan/singing bowl sound bath by Jesse Clark, and some optional aromatherapy.

During this time April will guide you through a replenishing visualization and affirmations journey to stir up your wildest, warmest dreams and call them into reality.s

Where: Dirty Bird’s

When: Tuesday, July 18, 8:30am

What to bring: A yoga mat, any props you want (blocks, blanket, strap), and some water.

Back by Popular Demand: Conversations with Councilors STRs

Submitted By: Linda.Kozlowski@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The April Manzanita’s Conversations with Councilors sessions regarding the city hall project were deemed a great success: Attendees said they felt heard, got answers, and learned more about the process. The council members walk away with fresh ideas and a better understanding of the community’s perspectives—all of which helped with informed decision-making on the city hall project.

As planned, we’re bringing Conversations with Councilors back for round two.

This time we would like to listen to your thoughts and ideas about Short Term Rentals (STRs). As many of you may know, the Short Term Rental Committee recently presented its survey findings:

For the presentation and raw data, please note the links on the City of Manzanita’s website front page green block, Announcements and Information.

We’d like to use the results to guide conversations with you about STRs—specifically regarding density mitigation measures and cap adjustments that the council will need to address in the future. We have filled the July dates and are now in August!

These sessions will be on
Tuesday, Aug 1 – 10am
Thursday, Aug 10 – 2pm
Tuesday, Aug 15 – 10am

The location will again be at the Manzanita library and will include two councilors at a time. To ensure your voice is heard, we’ll keep the attendance to 15 (this worked very well). The specifics will be posted on the city’s website. And please note that you do not need to print a “ticket” to attend. When you sign up, your name is captured on a list that we receive. We apologize for the confusion—our intentions are to make it as easy as possible for you to attend while ensuring that it’s an effective gathering.

You can reserve your spot by going to the City of Manzanita Website Calendar, click the date you would like to attend and follow the link to reserve your seat.

City Calendar is here: ci.manzanita.or.us/calendar

Please come with your ideas! They help us to be better positioned to make city policy that residents support. And remember, this is a safe venue for you to be heard—and we want to hear from everyone, not just the loudest voices!

We’ll practice yoga, affirmations & dreamy guided visualizations together on the grass, beneath the trees, and just blocks from the sea.

The Devil’s Dye Stories of Indigo with Iris Sullivan Daire at Hoffman Center for the Arts

Submitted By: i.downes-leguin@hoffmanarts.org – Click to email about this post
Join us at Hoffman Center for the Arts this Saturday, July 15, from 7:00-9:00 pm for The Devil’s Dye – Stories of Indigo with local artist and dyer Iris Sullivan Daire!

Plant based Indigo Blue has a long and complicated story with humans. Our obsession with this color has uplifted it to the realm of the sacred and justified some of the most horrific actions in history. In this talk we will learn a bit about the plants at the center of these many stories, about how indigo might be the common thread that can help us face what has come before, and find our way through the complex times we are living in now.

The annual community show at the Hoffman Gallery will use the indigo as the theme in January 2024, so this is a great opportunity to get some inspiration and get those creative juices flowing!

Historical Harp Concert at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita!

Submitted By: breezeduvall@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
We hope to see you at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita this Friday the 14th at 11am!

Sean Gaskell will be here with a kora, a 21-stringed harp native to the Mandinka people of West Africa. The sound can best be described as melodic, resonant, rhythmic, and intricate. The origins of the kora date back over 300 years, while some of the music can be traced back to the mid 13th century.

Gaskell has been playing and performing the kora since 2007 with over 300 performances at libraries across the US and Canada. He’s had three extended visits to The Gambia where he had the privilege of studying with some of the kora’s great masters. He presents the kora as a way to connect people to different sounds, ideas, and experiences, and is deeply appreciative for the opportunity to present something that is completely new and unheard of to so many people.

We’re super excited to have him!

You can read more about Sean Gaskell and view a video of him playing the kora at this link: directory.ashevillemusicprofessionals.com/www-seangaskell-com
