NEW YEAR’S EVE AT CLOUD & LEAF!
Ring in 2025 by hanging out with book people (or just the books, up to you) and drink wine from grandma’s crystal.

Even better, focus on your reasons for gratitude, manifest lottery winnings, or purge 2024 by writing a letter to yourself. We’ll keep it in a lockbox until we mail it to you in December 2025

Each of us is a unique expression of the divine, with our own distinct lens on the world. Come dance and explore the power of PERSPECTIVE. Led by Christina Pyktel

Heart of CARTM and Tillamook County Solid Waste are excited to launch a new series of quarterly community conversations on Waste Solutions and Recycling Practices! These events will give you the latest updates on recycling, waste reduction, and sustainability while offering opportunities to ask questions, connect with local experts, and learn how you can make a difference.
Why now? With new recycling laws (RMA legislation) taking shape and growing interest in the Tillamook County Master Recyclers program, it’s the perfect time for public conversation about sustainable waste management.
Whether you’re a recycling enthusiast or just curious about how recycling works, these events are for YOU. Let’s come together, learn, and share ideas to reduce waste and improve recycling in Tillamook County.

Please join us for Mocktails with Master Recyclers

The Master Recylers program is an initiative of the Tillamook County Solid Waste Department with a mission to “educate our community on the environmental impacts of our daily decisions and to encourage people to rethink, reduce, repair, repurpose, and then recycle.” Heart of Cartm is caring for this program by updating the coursework, organizing the annual classes and seeking ongoing partnerships for volunteer projects. Funding for this program has been provided by Oregon Community Foundation – Bottle Drop Fund and Tillamook Coast Visitors Association.

This Friday, December 19 at 6 PM:

Creative and reflective journaling isn’t just for “writers.” This is for everyone. The simple act of writing helps unlock parts of the subconscious, and is an incredible tool for healing and growth.

Celebrate the solstice by going inward with me. As we approach the longest night of the year, we’ll gather in a cozy space with blankets, candles, tea, and snacks. Together, we’ll move through exercises to help you tap into your inner world and cultivate a personal writing practice.

What to Expect:

– A quiet, relaxing atmosphere to unwind and reflect.
– Guided writing prompts to help your thoughts flow freely.
– Time to share insights and intentions for the year ahead
– Takeaway tools to support a reflective writing practice at home.

Register here before Friday at 9 am: www.sandstonestories.com/event-details/deep-dive-a-winter-solstice-writing-workshop

Local Nehalem artist Lane deMoll will be giving 3-card tarot readings at Wild in Manzanita this coming Saturday 12/14 from 1-4 pm. She’ll be using the deck she created. Readings will be 10-15 minutes for $20. Her deck will be available for sale during the afternoon.

Although Lane has been reading cards since 1995, the paintings in Lane’s Greenwitch Tarot were not done with a deck in mind. Rather they were created over the past 30 years of her own process and journey. She gives readings in her booth all summer at the Manzanita Farmer’s Market as well as longer in depth readings at her home.

Lane has lived in the community almost 50 years and helped start a number of local institutions including Fire Mountain School, CARTM Recycling, Lower Nehalem Community Trust, NeahCasa and Fulcrum Community Resources. More information about her, the deck and her paintings can be found on her website lanedemoll.com.

Neighbors and Friends: Join Us Tonight for RB City Decision on Nedonna Wave Appeal
The effort to save the Nedonna Beach wetlands continues. As you know, the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition filed an appeal of the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission’s approval of the proposed Nedonna Wave Planned Unit Development, Phase 2 (PUD-24). Thanks go to those who have attended or watched both the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission meetings and the City Council meetings regarding the appeal. Special thanks go to those who have given in-person testimony and/or have submitted comments to the City. The level of public support for the appeal has been strong and heartening. Plus the yard signs with the image of a kingfisher have helped generate attention to the environment that would be lost or further imperiled by allowing this PUD to be built.

Please consider attending one final Rockaway Beach City Council meeting regarding this issue on Wednesday, December 11 at 6:00 p.m. At that meeting, the Council will deliberate and decide either to support the appeal of Nedonna Wave or reject it. This will be a regular agenda item and, it seems, this will be one of the first items to be decided. (In other words, it shouldn’t be necessary to sit through the whole meeting to hear the decision.) The more people who show up in person (or who watch on Zoom), the better. City Council members need to see that we are not indifferent to this development. The appeal records have now been closed; therefore, no more testimony will be accepted. However, it is still important to show support for the appeal by attending in person or by Zoom, talking with neighbors and friends, posting on social media, and writing letters to the media. City Council meetings take place at Rockaway Beach City Hall; 276 Hwy 101; Rockaway Beach, Oregon.

To attend by Zoom go to: us06web.zoom.us/j/84950026492pwd=mmfbausHKydtb87Aas6O63JJKC9BQK.1
