OFRENDA A NUESTRO OCÉANO SANADOR (AN OFFERING TO OUR HEALING OCEAN) A HUEHCA OMEYOCAN CELEBRATION Join Friends of Netarts Bay, Watershed, Estuary, Beach and Sea (WEBS) and celebrate Huehca Omeyocan’s tenth year at Neah-Kah-Nie High School in Rockaway Beach on August 2nd! Huehca Omeyocan will be sharing art, culture, music, and dance in a vibrant, colorful, generous, and transcendental way to strengthen the connection with nature and bring communities together during this inspiring celebration. Huehca Omeyocan will be joined by Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS, Oregon Shores, Consejo Hispano, the Neah-Kah-Nie Coast Art & Music Cultural Foundation (NCAM), OSU Extension, Juntos Afuera and Tillamook Estuaries Partnership for an inspiring day with opportunities to explore, learn, celebrate, and act for the ocean. Huehca Omeyocan was founded in McMinnville, Oregon in 2016 by artist, drummer, performer, and cultural promoter Eduardo Cruz Torres Amictlan and his wife and main dancer of the group, Maria Elena Cortes Duran Malinalmiquiz. Maria started dancing when she was only 12 years old, and it has been a part of her life ever since. The Mexica-Chichimeca or Aztec dance and music connect the natural world, human body, and spirit with everything that exists. It is a cosmic integration — a prayer in motion that delights the senses. The movements and sounds of these spirited presentations mirror the energy that joins each of us with each other and the entire cosmos. With joyful generosity, Huehca Omeyocan aims to inspire this transcendent connectivity in every community they touch. Enjoy the dance ceremony and various other educational activities on August 2nd, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The ceremony begins on the softball field, followed by a community procession across Hwy 101 to the beach for a closing ceremony by the ocean. Bring a chair, a picnic, and enjoy the day at the coast! Community members are also invited to a full day of free cultural workshops on August 1st — no registration required, just show up! Learn more and register for this event at: https://www.netartsbaywebs.org/events While this event is free and open to the community, donations are warmly welcomed and help ensure Huehca Omeyocan’s ocean ceremony can continue for years to come.
