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.

Youth in all these programs receive in-depth mentoring every week\, or at least four hours per month. \nThe next Mentoring Essentials Training will be January 19th from 6p-9p\, and January 20th from 9a-5p.  You must attend both days of training to complete it. \nRegister Here: Mentor Application \nThe training will take place at the RVM Nature Center\, 2931 S Pacific Hwy\, Medford\, OR 97501. \n*Follow signs to ‘Nature Center’ after entering Lithia & Driveway Fields. \nTraining Details: Our Mentoring Essentials Training is free for those who commit to volunteering with RVM for at least a year after completing it. There is a $150 fee to take the training without becoming a volunteer. \nThe training covers strength-based communication\, trauma-informed care\, youth development\, active listening\, and avoiding bias; it also gives scenarios in small groups to practice the skills learned. \nWe are always receiving new applications from youth hoping for mentors.  We serve any youth in Jackson County between the ages of 9 and 24 years; most of our mentees are in middle- or high- school. Mentors are matched with youth who have similar interests; our Matches go hiking\, see movies\, play sports\, check out local art\, and more! \nThe volunteer schedule is flexible for 1:1 Matches\, and agreed upon by volunteer mentors and their mentee’s family: you can make a big impact in just 6-10 hours per month! \nWe offer a $50 monthly stipend to volunteers in an active 1:1 Match\, or Circle / Program\, monthly support via Zoom meeting with our staff and other volunteers\, and free\, quarterly\, in-person trainings with all our volunteers

SUMMARY:FREE Two-Hour Webinar: The Seeds of a White Utopia
DESCRIPTION:On January 11\, Ashland Together invites you to join Portland State University history professor Kristin Teigen for a free\, two hour webinar examining Oregon’s difficult racial past. The event will serve as an introductory session in the lead up to a four week\, online course titled “Unwelcomed: Oregon’s History of Exclusion” beginning February 1st.  \nThe goal of this 2 hour webinar is to better understand our state’s largely unexamined history of discrimination. How did a rebellion in the 1600’s and the Missouri Compromise of 1820 set the stage for Oregon as ‘whites only’ territory\, and later\, a state? From land grabs to redlining to genocide\, countless moments of our history would influence people in Oregon for generations to come. \nRegister and find out more about this event on Ashland Together’s Event Page.  \nInstructor: Kristin Teigen\, Portland State University

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.

SUMMARY:Oppenheimer’s Dilemma: Sunday October 8

SUMMARY:From Local Action to Global Impact
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, Sept. 21 — From Local Action to Global Impact – Noon-1pm – Global ZoomMany of us grapple with the questions of what is ours to do and how do we make the biggest impact. We do so as we process the overwhelm and despair that emerges as we witness the unfolding climate chaos—wildfires\, hurricanes\, heat waves\, people forced to flee their homes due to disasters\, and so much more. \nThose feelings live alongside the knowledge that urgent action is needed and a soup of paralysis\, anxiety\, and dread can ensue. Join the Pachamama Alliance global community to explore the journey from concern\, dread\, and paralysis to impactful action. We’ll explore the connection between global issues and local solutions and share some examples of individuals who are on a journey to discover their role to play in the unfolding climate crisis. \nThis call is part of Resilience and Possibility in These Times\, a series of online offerings to support us all in staying connected to one another during these challenging times. \nRegister Here: https://landing.pachamama.org/call-48-impact

SUMMARY:Aloha Maui Benefit Concert
DESCRIPTION:The community is invited to the Historic Ashland Armory this Sunday\, September 17 for the “Aloha Maui Benefit Concert” to support Lahaina wildfire victims. \nEntry fees range from $20 to $100 depending on how much you want to donate and all profits will go directly to victims in Maui through United Way of Jackson County. \n“For a lot of people\, when they’re giving small amounts and helping\, what it does is give people a feeling that they’ve had something to do with the recovery\,” said Greg Frederick with The Rogue Suspects. “And I think especially with some of the disasters we’ve suffered here\, I think people feel like they’d like to give back.” \nSeveral of our favorite Southern Oregon music groups will be performing\, including The Rogue Suspects\, Alice Di Michele\, Petty Thievery\, HA’ENA and Fret Drifters. \nThis is an all-ages event with food provided by Gather and wine from Dos Mariposas Vineyard. \nDoors open at 5:30 pm for the silent auction and refreshments. Live music starts at 7:00 pm and goes until 11:00 pm. \nIf you’re interested in donating items for the silent auction\, you can drop them off at the Ashland Armory anytime after 12:00 pm on September 17th. To donate money via GoFundMe\, click on this link. \nTo buy tickets ahead of time\, please visit the Aloha Maui website.
