    logo_collectivesedonaSedona AZ (July 19, 2018) – The Community Market returns to The Collective Sedona every Saturday in August (August 4, 11, 18 and 25) from 9 am to 1pm. The Collective Sedona and Spirit Wind Farm Store have teamed up to bring residents of the VOC and Sedona this weekly event with aspirations for it to grow and thrive. Each week more vendors are added to the list, so mark your calendars each Saturday morning and come witness the transformation as we build and the busy season hits. The Market offers fresh locally-farmed produce, mind-body-spirit wellness products, and local art and jewelry. It also runs rain or shine as there is ample covered space to keep the rain away! For more information or to become a vendor, call Joseph at 928-202-0936 or e-mail Rodney at rboden@fenixpcg.com

    The Collective Sedona’s monthly Second Saturday event is changing its format and will have lots of new features starting in August. On August 11, 2018 the event will be held in the evening from 4pm to 7pm with the band Thunder & Lightnin’ playing in the courtyard behind Rotten Johnny’s Wood Fired Pizza Pie and Bearcloud Gallery. The Collective Sedona artists Bearcloud and Terry van Loenen will have their work on display along with some very special guest artists from around the Verde Valley. With the intention to continue to provide the Village of Oak Creek and Sedona with a great shopping experience, The Collective Sedona has asked vendors from their weekly Community Farm and Art Market to set up during the Second Saturday festivities. Some of Sedona’s most talented jewelry makers, most in-tune energy mediums, and most radical health and wellness experts will be setting up to share their knowledge, wisdom, and wares with you. And, of course, there will be ample local, delicious, and beyond-organic foods and produce available through the Spirit Wind Farm Store to make your tongue and bellies sing in delight!

    All of this fun is just steps away from great restaurants like Cucina Rustica, Miley’s Café, Corner Table Restaurant and Bar, Rotten Johnny’s Wood Fired Pizza Pie, and JWine Bistro – or, if you’re like The Collective’s Manager, Rodney, you’ll forget the healthy stuff and go straight for the goods at Rocky Road Ice Cream Shop. YUM!

    Come witness the transformation and enjoy a night of free music under the setting sun and expressions of art from some of our best local artists. Finally, in celebration of Rotten Johnny’s Wood Fired Pizza Pie’s grand opening, we will be raffling off two free pizzas!!! All you have to do is show up and collect your ticket and you are entered to win! We look forward to seeing you at The Collective Sedona’s New Second Saturday.

    The Collective Sedona is thrilled to welcome, a man who needs no introduction, Omar Kenney and Bay Equity Home Loans to our tenant family. We are excited to have such an esteemed Village of Oak Creek resident with such fantastic energy in our building. Omar can be reached at (928) 282-0282 or by email at okenney@bayeq.com for all of your home-loan needs.

    The Collective Sedona is delighted to announce the reopening of the Salt Room in The Sedona Health Spa. Himalayan Pink Salt lines the walls of the room with a state-of-the-art Salt Halo Generator showering your body with a fine salt mist. This news is hot off the press and more details will be announced soon. For now, please contact Vivian at (928) 301-2409 for more information. The team at TCS is working hard to open the doors as soon as possible. Stay tuned!

    20180719_MillerMillerMartinKiA “Moonlight Madness” Concert will again be returning to The Collective Sedona on Sunday, September 23rd. Guests will enjoy listening to great music under a full moon — picnicking with friends in a beautiful outdoor setting — all to benefit youth programs in the Village of Oak Creek.

    This community event is hosted by the Rotary Club of Sedona Village and tickets can be purchased online at www.SusannahMartinMusic.com ($20). Gates open at 5pm, with the concert going from 6-9pm.

    The 3MKi Band (aka Miller, Miller Martin and Ki) is one of Sedona’s most beloved classic rock and pop bands performing singalong-worthy hits plus other catchy tunes. Notorious for their musical fun and frolic, 3MKi ramps up the music with rich lead vocals and harmonies, virtuoso acoustic guitars and a groovy beat box. Rock out to the Eagles, Mamas & Papas, Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Sting and more as they play under the full moon!

     THE MOMENT IS UPON US

    Dear Sedona,

    The moment is upon us. The time for a united effort to shift the focus back to our community is now.

    The ability to thrive in our community, our environment, our workforce, and the tourist industry, is entirely possible because we have all the resources needed for success.

    Still, we need a council that isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, that makes decisions based on data and facts, and through discussion, rather than moving and voting in group unison as they so regularly do.

    This is my home. I have been a part of the Sedona community for 28 years. I witnessed the road debacle, the lack of planning, the city circumventing the local businesses ability to thrive, while making choices to expand the local government and be in direct competition with private industry.

    I am a unique candidate because unlike the incumbents, I don’t believe the government should expand in size, nor in operations, nor would I attempt to micromanage every aspect of our community.

    City government should stay in its lane and allow the competitive market of local private industry to prosper. And it should defend our community from corporate takeover and infiltration of our town.

    I do not agree that we should sign onto International Building Codes and regulations by signing Sedona up to the ICC. It is imperative that we remain a sweet, rural community.

    Where are the arts? Where is this organic thriving element that we allege to be animated by. Where is our culture? Where is our community?

    The discord between the decision making process and the desires of the community have never been more clear. It has been nearly a decade in the making.

    It is time for a new era of energy to take charge. An energy that is reflective in the ability to succeed rather than be trapped in out of date consciousness.

    It has been a great honor meeting with each of you. I hear your concerns over the insane and out of control spending and I echo them. A budget of $105,000,000 in a town of 9700 residents is completely unacceptable. A parking structure (that looks like a shoe box) originally slated to cost 11 million, now projected to cost 18 million, is incomprehensible. Especially, considering there is no intention of charging for parking.

    For those who are concerned that I lack the political experience within our established system- that is precisely what Sedona needs… Not another politician, but instead a person who understands people, who listens to the voices within the community, and who will act in service on their behalf with accountability, for the highest good of Sedona. What I am not, will prove to be an asset as I navigate the entrenched bureaucracy with a fresh perspective. Business as usual, is over.

    Creative solutions require new energy.

    Every decision that is made by our local government, must contemplate Sedona first.

    • Does this decision benefit the residents?
    • Does this decision benefit the local businesses?
    • Does this decision actually help the environment?
    • Will this decision sustain benefit in the future, or will it bring more problems?

    What we have now is a city government that expands to 165 employees for 9700 residents. Palm Desert has 53,000 residents and 119 city employees. Majority of our city department heads are not even in town. I find this problematic.

    Efforts towards championing in and courting new solutions for our medical needs are imperative. We are losing our doctors. We must encourage competition with other facilities rather than be held hostage by NAH, who clearly have their own set of dysfunctions.

    We must remember that so many move to Sedona for its beauty, hiking, and small town charm. Bigger, faster, and more concrete does not, in broad strokes, fit the ethos of Sedona.

    The old world must remain strong here in balance, as that is what visitors want to experience. Too many have noted that Sedona has lost its edge and charm.

    As Mayor I will preserve the rural charm of our community, and push back against the urbanization that is planned for Sedona.

    As mayor I will make it a priority to create opportunities to support our youth.  After school healthy, enriching programs should be created for our kids, and available to the Sedona workforce regardless of residency and regardless of school they belong to.

    As Mayor, I will create an agenda to deliberately embody the consciousness of our collective needs here, allowing private industry to meet the needs of our community rather than bigger government.

    I hope to have your vote on Aug 2nd. I am excited and have the energy to take on this leadership role with new eyes, community perspective, and the thoughtful consciousness that reflects all ages of the human spectrum.

    Thank you deeply for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Samaire Armstrong

    Armstrong vs. Jablow: The Main Event
    Ready to Rumble

    By Tommy Acosta
    In the Blue Corner stands Scott Jablow and in the Red Corner of the ring stands Samaire Armstrong, ready to rumble to the bitter end in their fight to become the next Sedona mayor. Jablow weighs in with 1,137 primary election votes (36.13%) under his belt, having wielded his advantage as sitting Sedona City Council vice-mayor to his favor. He brings his years of serving in that capacity into the fray and waged a solid fight in his campaign to make it to the run-off. Armstrong, however withstood a blistering smear campaign from the other opposing candidates and their supporters to make it to the final bout with 967 votes under her belt (30.73%), an amazing feat for a political newcomer. Unfortunately, for the other two candidates, Kurt Gehlbach and sitting mayor Sandy Moriarty, neither put up enough of a fight to make it to the championship bout. Read more→
