Heart of Cartm Hosts Prominent Leaders for Upcoming Retreat – Transforming Marine Debris, July 14-16

Posted on June 20, 2023 by Editor

Heart of Cartm is a small nonprofit organization with a big vision, a prime location, and connections to some very talented people. With support from the Oregon Arts Commission and many volunteers, Heart of Cartm has established Transforming Marine Debris – A Creative Retreat.
Marine debris is an issue of concern for every coastal community in the world – and the Oregon Coast is no exception. Every day, we see litter in our most treasured places. It’s time for action! This July and November, Heart of Cartm offers a weekend retreat full of science, art and inspiration, bringing together skilled professional leaders with people who care about our coastlines.

The July 14-16 creative retreat will include: Steve Fisher, a freelance investigative reporter based in Mexico City, who focuses on the Mexican criminal justice system, human rights and the environment. Steve will travel to Heart of Cartm to share his expertise on creating a well-researched and compelling story to fight injustices.
Addie Boswell is an artist and writer based in Portland, Oregon. She will work with retreat participants to transform marine debris (beach-gleaned microplastics, wood and metal scrap) into beautiful, take-home art pieces.
Jesse Jones, a lifelong Oregonian and the CoastWatch Program Manager based in Astoria, will introduce participants to citizen science and lead an official Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment Project (MDMAP) on Manhattan Beach in Rockaway, Oregon.
Wendy Jackson, a local psychotherapist, will present simple methods to relieve the anxiety and stress that often accompanies working for environmental justice.
You may reserve a seat for the entire weekend – July 14-16, 2023 – or buy a ticket for just the Friday, July 14th evening session, where retreat leaders will introduce themselves and their work. Don’t hesitate! There is a limited number of seats for this special event. Visit www.heartofcartm.org/marinedebris or call 503-664-0446.
