SUMMARY:Two Friends\, Two Books: Local Authors Lead Book Circle on Relationships
DESCRIPTION:In May\, two local authors will lead a free book circle that will explore how two recently released books can foster skills that can strengthen our relationships with our families\, lovers and communities. \nThe book circle — hosted by Southern Oregon Pachamama Alliance and Peace House — will meet at Peace House\, 543 S. Mountain Ave.\, Ashland\, Oregon from 7 to 8:30 pm four Wednesday evenings: May 1\, 8\, 15\, 22. The authors\, Diane Tegtmeier and Lauren J. Oliver\, will also read from their respective books at 7 p.m. Monday\, May 20\, at Bloomsbury Books\, 290 E. Main Street\, Ashland\, OR 97520\, 541-488-0009. \n \nThe authors\, who are friends\, discovered through their conversations\, that while their recently finished books were very different in some respects\, the principles behind the books are intriguingly complementary. Tegtmeier’s book\, “The Sacred Cell: What Nature Teaches Us About Relationships\,” presents the Cell Membrane principles of oneness\, differentiation\, selective permeability\, containment\, and the relationship field. Oliver’s book\, “CircleCulture: Tools for Cooperative Work\,” offers methods for building strong\, healthy relationships by connecting our hearts and minds while communicating respectfully with others in Circle.

SUMMARY:State of the Free Press 2024: The Importance of an Independent Press and Critical Media Literacy in a “Post-Truth” World
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 17th 7:00 PM\nRogue Valley Metaphysical Library – 1757 Ashland St\, Ashland. \nIn the age of new and powerful tools of communication\, democracy has become more fragile and vulnerable to attacks by ideological extremists and partisans. \nWhat is clear is that the tools of communication\, culture\, literacy\, and critical thinking are more crucial than ever in creating both informed citizens and maintaining a substantive democracy. \nSTATE OF THE FREE PRESS 2024 comes at a time when trust in the media is at an all-time low. A 2022 Gallup poll found that just one in nine Americans had confidence in TV news\, and fewer than one in six believed in the printed press. A subsequent survey revealed that no fewer than half of Americans believe national news organizations intentionally deceive the public in order to suit their own agendas. It’s a grim reality that threatens the public’s ability to hold the powerful to account and stifles access to the high-quality information that is the lifeblood of democracy. \nMICKEY HUFF is the director of Project Censored and president of the nonprofit Media Freedom Foundation. To date\, he has co-edited fourteen editions of the Project’s yearbook\, including\, most recently\, Project Censored’s State of the Free Press 2022\, with Andy Lee Roth. He is also co-author with Nolan Higdon of United States of Distraction and the critical thinking textbook Let’s Agree to Disagree. Huff received the Beverly Kees Educator Award as part of the 2019 James Madison Freedom of Information Award from the Society of Professional Journalists\, Northern California. \nHe is professor of social science\, history\, and journalism at Diablo Valley College\, where he co-chairs the history program and is chair of the Journalism Department. Huff is executive producer and host of The Project Censored Show\, a weekly syndicated public affairs program that airs on 50 stations across the U.S. on Pacifica Radio.

SUMMARY:Awakening to Humanity’s Sacred Mission
DESCRIPTION:An International Symposium and Call to Action\nFebruary 9-11\, 18\, 2024 \nREGISTER NOW \nThis uniquely inspired online global event is primarily dedicated to hosting the vision of Ervin Laszlo and his powerful call to “Awakening Humanity’s Sacred Mission.” The international Symposium is a collaboration produced by UNITY EARTH in deep partnership with the Source of Synergy Foundation\, Laszlo Institute\, The Holomovement\, Unify\, Light on Light\, SINE Network\, Humanity’s Team\, Good of the Whole and other global organizations. \nThis event stands out due to its unprecedented global collaboration and its core focus on deep engagement. It serves as a worldwide rallying point for Humanity’s Sacred Mission\, emphasizing actionable steps and mass mobilization in transformative movements for the greater good. \n“Awakening to Humanity’s Sacred Mission” is based on the proposition that humanity has a sacred mission\, and that seeking and advancing this shared sacred mission is of urgent and vital interest. The religions and spiritual traditions speak of this mission of humanity\, and claim that we have a sacred or divine obligation to pursue it. \nThe Symposium seeks to uncover key aspects of the sacred mission of humanity\, and to highlight its meaning for our life and future. This global event will also be offering a variety of powerful action invitations to the audience to join together in awakening our shared sacred mission. \nPursuing a sacred mission gives people meaning in life\, helping to overcome pessimism\, inertia and depression. Those who awaken to their sacred mission then become a part of a great wave of consciousness “upshifting” humanity toward our next level of consciousness. \nThe dates February 9-11 are across the Lunar New Year 2024 which will be the beginning of the Year of the Dragon. \nThe Symposium will have two sessions each day for three days (February 9-11)\, to cover all time zones. Both sessions on any single day will cover the same daily theme with a variety of speakers. There is also a Harvest Day with two sessions a week later on February 18th to follow up and follow through for the audience and speakers. \nAttendees/participants are invited to participate in one session each day including the harvest day in order to complete attendance at the Symposium. They are not expected to attend both sessions on any given day but may if they so choose. \nSession 1 times 10 am EDT – 1pm EDT / 4pm CET – 7 CET\nSession 2 times 6pm EDT – 9 pm EDT / 10am AEDT – 1pm AEDT

SUMMARY:Four Week Online Course: Unwelcomed – Oregon’s History of Exclusion
DESCRIPTION:Ashland Together\, in collaboration with Peace House and BASE is proud to present “Unwelcomed: Understanding Oregon’s History Exclusion.” This 4-week online course is led by Portland State University Professor Kristin Teigen. \nProfessor Teigen will take us through the deliberate steps taken to construct Oregon\, first as a territory and later as a state\, to exclude non-white people. \nWoven into each week\, we will discuss Southern Oregon’s specific history with regard to race. \nRegister Here \nWeek 1: Exclusions\, Genocide\, Segregation\, and Deportation \nBeginning with the construct of race\, we then embark on a journey through Oregon’s complex and often troubling history. Who was in Oregon before it became a state? What led to its founding? Dive deep into the origins of hate groups like the KKK and investigate discriminatory policies such as the Chinese Exclusion Act. Understand how Oregon’s history is marred by acts of deportation\, exclusion\, and even genocide. \nWeek 2: Displacement and the Arrival of Immigrants \nMoving from the origin of Oregon\, we will travel into the early 20th century to examine the creation of segregation and systems of displacement\, the arrival of immigrant groups\, and we will set the stage for the transformation of World War II. \nWeek 3: World War II and Its Aftermath \nThe third week takes us to a critical period: World War II and its enduring impact on Oregon. Explore the devastating effects of Japanese internment camps\, Latinx deportations\, the creation of Vanport and more\, and the practice of redlining\, all of which continue to shape Oregon’s communities today.\nWeek 4: The “Golden Age” and Modern Day \nThe 1950’s\, the supposed Golden Age of the U.S. brought dramatic transformations\, particularly with Indigenous communities\, displacements within Black communities\, the aftermath of internment and continued deportations. Moving into modern-day Oregon\, we will look at how the past has created the realities of our day-to-day lives and the continuing struggle for justice. \nCourse Details: \nWhen: Every Thursday beginning February 1st\nTime: 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm PT\nPlatform: Zoom (link will be provided on the day of each class)\nCost: $90\nCapacity: Limited to 35 participants \nThis course emphasizes active participation\, open dialogue\, and is designed to be a safe space for all attendees. \nPlease write to ashlandtogether@gmail.com for information regarding full or partial scholarships. \nUnwelcomed: Understanding the Racist History of Oregon is sponsored by our partners: Peace House\, BASE–Black Alliance and Social Empowerment\, and Rogue Valley Unitatian Universalist Fellowship. 50% of all proceeds will be donated to BASE \nInstructor: Kristin Teigen\, MA\, M.Ed. is an educator at Portland State University\, where she teaches the history of BIPOC communities in Oregon and issues of women’s homelessness.

SUMMARY:FREE Two-Hour Webinar: The Seeds of a White Utopia

SUMMARY:The Abundance Swap
DESCRIPTION:What is the Abundance Swap? \nIt is a community gathering to celebrate our abundance and offer an alternative to the Holiday shopping season. \nConsider that: \n\nFirst thing on the morning after Thanksgiving\, millions of Americans line up in the dark outside big-box chain stores to be the first to swarm over billions of dollars of stuff – brand new stuff\, created with new resources from the Earth\nOne nation accounts for 5% of the population and 40-50% of the resource consumption of the planet. Guess which.\nSome of the good stuff we already have isn’t being well used or fully enjoyed.\nGiving gifts for the holidays is fun. Most of us want to continue giving gifts.\n\nSo We’re doing it differently\, like this: \nStep 1.  Find 3 quality items in your home\, shop or office that someone would enjoy as a gift… fun\, useful\, interesting or beautiful items in really good shape that you feel  you can spare . \n(“Quality” doesn’t mean “expensive”. It means well-made\, worthwhile\, likely to be valued. The original price doesn’t matter). \nStep 2.  Bring them to the Historic Ashland Armory. Don’t just drop your stuff off. We’re doing more than that. Bring the present of your presence. Stick around to visit\, tell a story or two about what you brought to the person who wants it\, and find some things that you’d like to take away to give as gifts to others (a gift to yourself is ok\, too). There won’t be any bargaining; you just bring what you’re ready to give away and take away whatever you’d like. \nStep 3.  Then use the gifts you take home to reduce your new gift purchases. \nThree simple steps\, that’s it. This will be our own Holiday shopping event\, a round of giving and receiving that includes no money and no new demands on resources. For some of us it may also be a stretching exercise – a chance to let go of stuff\, or let go of worries that we might not get back “our fair share”\, or more fully let go of commercially-planted ideas that it’s not a real gift if it’s not shiny & new from the store. \nWe’ll have tea and simple treats to eat; bring a tasty sweet finger food to share if you’d like.

For some it’s the beautiful forests\, for\nsome the rivers and lakes\, for some the fishing or the coastal wonders\, and for some the winter\nrecreation or world class wines. All these local delights are threatened by climate change. It’s\ntime to support your friends in Southern Oregon Climate Action Now as they combat the threat\nthrough their campaign: ‘SOCAN: Reaching a new level of Climate Action.’ \nWe’ve been fighting and often winning for Oregon and the planet for over 11 years! How will you\nshow your appreciation? Please come to our fundraiser on November 11th to hear music from\ntwo top Rogue Valley bands and enjoy local wines and appetizers. Help SOCAN reach a new\nlevel of climate action. Steve Lavering and Mountaintop Sound open the evening with\nAmericana\, folk\, and a hint of bluegrass. Then\, Steve Schein and Shine On round it out with\nGrateful Dead covers and more Americana. Senator Jeff Golden will join us to say a few words.\nThere is no charge for admission but a donation is suggested. \nPlease plan to join us on November 11th for our fundraiser with bands Shine On and Mountaintop Sound\, wine and appetizers and social time with friends and climate activists.
