“Love Letters and Ornaments in Blue” features Oregon expat, Lauren Kinhan, in the place from which all her music and inspiration springs. Cannon Beach holds some of Lauren’s most precious “ornaments:” her family. So these sandy streets are tried and true muses for her genre merging music that celebrates her bicoastal love affair. Living in New York City since the late ’80s, Lauren became a hearty artist, singer / songwriter of numerous highly respected solo records and a long-time bandmate of the New York Voices. Her career has taken her all over the world, allowing her to add songs to her bag, influenced by the times we are living and the people she is loving.

Festive Winter Treasures
Current registered participants can view prior recorded demonstrations and Zoom sessions at Hoff-Online
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.

Join singer-songwriter Deb Montgomery for a quiet, early evening of music and candles: a kind-of-sort-of Advent Concert. Think house concert in a church. St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church is sweet and warm, open, inclusive, and welcoming.
“Montgomery’s music has been compared to many other talented musicians, from Natalie Merchant to Neil
Young. These are great comparisons, and Montgomery is an excellent storyteller. Her music is glorious in
its ability to make you cry, to make you feel, to make you find hope again.” — Beat Media
Deb has performed for many years—with and without a band—in Seattle, Toronto, Chicago, and New
York City. She recently relocated to Manzanita. You can find her music on iTunes and Spotify, or listen
to her albums here: debmontgomery.com and debmontgomery1.bandcamp.com/album/the-heart-of-it.

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.

On Saturday shoppers will find everything from hand thrown pottery by Nehalem based Unearth Studio to small batch canned pickles and jams from Gingifer’s Jams to naturally dyed indigo scarves from DreamBird Studios in Astoria. Other goods include Stained glass art, crystal jewelry, tea and cocoas, kelp clay body products, gem essence sprays and poetry books, stationary and cards and much much more!
