Next week, Oweesta Corporation’s Turning the Tide – Captial Access Convening is happening here in Juneau. This convening will provide practitioner-tailored training on topics around capital access and offers an array of networking opportunities. Working with their Alaskan partners at Spruce Root, this is a return to an in-person event. Oweesta Corporation was created 24 years ago to address the lack of capital and financial infrastructure holding back economic development in Native communities. It is the longest-standing Native CDFI intermediary offering financial products and development services exclusively to Native CDFIs and Native communities.

From 49 Writers regarding Tutka Bay Writers Retreat
About the Tutka Bay Retreat Experience
This generative writers retreat blends craft talks, in-class writing, readings, and discussion with unstructured time to experience the immersive natural environment or concentrate further on writing. Your weekend of instruction and inspiration will take place at Tutka Bay Lodge, named by Fodor in 2012 as one of the World’s Top 100 places to stay. Tutka Bay is a remote and rugged fjord characterized by soaring mountains, secluded beaches, old growth forest, and dramatic tidal fluctuations. To get there you fly or drive to the fishing community of Homer on the Kenai Peninsula (225 miles south of Anchorage) then take a 20-minute water taxi ride across Kachemak Bay. On the way you will observe a variety of shore and water birds, and there is always the possibility of sighting sea otters, orcas, and humpbacks.
