Leave No Trace
Debra Granik directed her cinematographer Michael McDonough to open her new film Leave No Trace with National Geographic-style shots of a verdant Oregon rainforest.

Healdsburg Happenings, Dec. 12
Annual fundraiser for Healdsburg Rotary Club to fund scholarship programs for Healdsburg High School students: an “all you can eat” crab dinner, a silent auction and a live auction MC’d by local personalities. Villa Chanticleer, Dec. 14, plus more events this week.
Wheel of Light
The two most significant astrological events this month are Venus turning retrograde on December 21, the same day as the Winter Solstice when the Sun enters Capricorn. The Winter Solstice was celebrated by many ancient cultures as the most important day of the year. It marked the time when the Sun had traveled as far south as it could go, turned around and was heading north. This symbolizes the return of the light; the promise that the growing season was coming back and that life would continue for another year. This could be used as a time to look deeply within, to define what we would like to achieve or accomplish when the warmth and promise of spring are renewed. This is probably the basis for making New Year’s resolutions based on the idea that we will have the time and resources to create new parts of our lives even as we maintain those that continue to have value.
