Poet, artist and author Jessica Mehta will discuss her writings and read her poetry at the Cannon Beach Library at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 13.
This is a free, hybrid event; attend the event at the library or watch online: www.cannonbeachlibrary.org.
The award-winning interdisciplinary poet, artist and author is hosted by the library’s NW Authors Series.
The Oregon author of 15 books, Mehta will discuss “Decolonization on a Global Scale.” Her works have been described as organic, powerful and vulnerable. Space, place and ancestry are driving factors in her work.
Mehta has undertaken poetry and artist residencies around the globe, including the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-Upon-Avon and the Crazy Horse Memorial and museum in South Dakota. Her work has been featured at galleries and exhibitions in Washington DC, Sweden and New Mexico. She also was a Fulbright Senior Scholar.
“My goal as a person and an artist is to inform, create conversations and in many cases to educate—particularly non-indigenous audiences,” says Mehta, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. “The key word here is ‘goal,’ not ‘responsibility.’”
“The emotional, mental, spiritual and oftentimes physical labor of educating non-indigenous audiences is not for everyone. It is a gift some of us offer when, where and how we can. It is not a requirement of any Native person.”

6:30 PM – opening circle/dance set
8:00 PM – closing circle

Dance Etiquette/Tips:
*All are welcome – Family friendly events – Come as you are.
*Bring a water bottle and layers.
*Bring kindness and respect for yourself and others and your willingness to explore and to dive into the ecstasy of spirit available through movement.
*No outside shoes on the dance floor if possible (dirty floors aren’t fun to roll around on)

*We ask that you limit talking during the dance set. Set up, break time, and the foyer area are great places to have longer conversations to limit distractions for others.

We dance every Thursday (Three more weeks at the grange. We’ll be dancing on the beach starting in June!) …Hope to dance with you soon.

Are you interested in worm farming/vermicomposting? It is super fun, does not require heat to break things down, and creates a beautiful soil amendment that you can use safely in your garden.
Join us on May 24th 5-7pm for our first Community Compost Club meeting on the site of the future home of Dirty Bird’s Garden Center (corner of Manzanita and Division). Email queenbee@dirtybirdsgardencenter to RSVP.
Dirty Bird’s Garden Center will be built on the vacant lot on the corner of Division and Manzanita across from Underhill Plaza. Until we have a building, we are doing programming and events with local partners to support top sustainability efforts.
Our first project is making compost from food waste. Food waste accounts for over 20% of landfill materials and production, transportation, and handling of food generate significant Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions and when food ends up in landfills, it generates methane, an even more potent greenhouse gas. We want to divert as much food waste as possible from our local waste stream through our Community Compost Club.
Members will work together to build a community worm bin that we can use for our household food waste. We will also help those interested in building home based vermicompsting systems.
Worms are magicians! Let’s help them help us.

Dear BBQ friends,
Sand Spiral Labyrinth Walk this Sunday 5/7 at Neahkahnie Beach – free community gathering.
– 7:30am Meditation/ 8am Labyrinth Walk or walk anytime you like before the tide sweeps it away!
– Slow down, breathe deep and connect with the awesome beauty of Neahkahnie Mt and Ocean.
Folks have been asking me ‘Why Labyrinth walks?’ Well, I have practiced and guided Walking Meditation for decades as a Yoga Therapist as a way to cultivate present moment awareness, to ‘be’ peacefully with Nature. Then when I was part of the Intensive Cardiac Rehab program at Silverton Hospital OR, I guided Meditation Walks for patients and staff through a classic Labyrinth design on canvas that could be rolled out indoors or at beautiful outdoor destinations like Silver Falls State Park and the Oregon Gardens. When I transplanted to the Oregon Coast, the little kid in me found a magical combination of ‘all of the above’ practices in drawing spiral labyrinths in the sand. I take my rake and trace a spiral walking path. Hope you can come by on Sunday morning and walk with me for World Labyrinth Day. Let’s be part of a rolling wave of peace around the globe.

Hello.

We hope this message finds you well.

We sent an email inviting candidates to some online forums and have not heard back from some of them. The dates for the forums are fast approaching and we want to be sure they have every opportunity to attend if they so choose.

Some candidates have asked why these events are online and we wanted to give an answer should that detail be a major part of the decision to participate.

Having online forums is really about access. The online option provides greater access to more people.

Online forums make the event easy to attend for candidates AND voters alike. In addition, we will record the sessions and post them to a candidate’s MooVoter thread and on the Pioneer.

We will also share them across social media to a collective audience of 50,000 local Facebook community group members in every corner of the county. Once the links are publicly available they can continue to be shared by any individual or entity.

Viewers also have the ability to view the session at their convenience in whole or in parts. They can also forward over portions that they aren’t interested in, or repeat sections that they want to hear again.

The MooVoter mission is to engage and empower voters, so voters can vote with confidence, and share their knowledge with others. The online forum is the superior solution toward the ultimate goal of increasing voter turnout. A live event will reach perhaps 50 voters at best. An online forum will reach ten times that at a minimum. Most likely, more.

All things being equal, the choice for MooVoter and the Pioneer to do the forums online will continue.

Details and RSVP to each event are listed on our FB page www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091843375086 or on facebook.com/groups/moovoter

We hope to see you online.

Thanks!
