Creativity “Goes Green” at the Sitka Center
During its 2011 Workshop Program, several of the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology’s more than 100 workshops will show participants how to use their creativity to live in a more eco-friendly way. Though the nonprofit organization has been committed to expanding the relationships between art, nature and humanity since 1970, many of this year’s classes are particularly focused on “green” topics like Permaculture, watershed restoration, and her bal medicine.
The Sitka Center welcomes people of all abilities and backgrounds who want to explore their creative potential and their connections to the natural world. Located on the Oregon coast, near Cascade Head and the Salmon River estuary, the Sitka Center knows what an inspiration place can be and encourages their instructors to use the center’s setting as a teaching tool - or even a classroom.
Classes of note include “Wild Watersheds of the Northwest Coast,” “Intro to Sustainable Home Landscaping,” “The Herbal Arts,” and “Nature as Teacher: Meeting the True Muse.” Those interested in learning more about these and other Sitka Center Workshops are encouraged to visit www.sitkacenter.org or to call 541.994.5485. Registration is now open to the public and enrollment is based on a first-come-first-serve basis.
