SUMMARY:SOCAN: How Climate Change is Impacting Oregon Farmers
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon farmers exist on the frontlines of climate change. This is because the variables of seasonal temperature and water availability are both dominant factors influencing crop viability and success and are also the primary variables influenced by global warming and its climate change consequences. \nMaud Powell\, with OSU Extension’s Southern Oregon Office in Central Points serves as Associate Professor of Practice in the Small Farms Program. SOCAN’s October monthly general meeting at the Medford Public Library on October 29 from 6:00 – 7:30 will feature a presentation by Maud that explores the impacts of climate change on farmers and ranchers in Southern Oregon\, especially related to their mental health and emotional well-being\, and an Oregon State University Initiative\, ‘Climate Stress and Grief: Building Resilience in Farmers and Ranchers’ that is addressing these concerns. Powell will also share initial findings from qualitative research conducted with Oregon farmers.

SUMMARY:Reshaping our Malfunctioning World – Change is in the Air
DESCRIPTION:A webinar to tackle head-on some of the troubling questions raised by the virtual impotence of the UN in the face of terrible wars\, senseless\, bloodshed and war crimes. Similarly\, with the almost complete disregard of international law by governments right across the spectrum. \nThis is an international event. Please note the very early morning time for the Pacific Time region. \nWhat we’re focusing on is: where to from here? What might be promising new approaches\, new ideas\, new initiatives – ways of reforming the UN system. \nThe webinar brings together a diverse and uniquely equipped group of intellectuals and practitioners for a lively\, thought-provoking\, even provocative conversation. \nFollowing the four presentations we will distil a strategic direction for future engagement with the focus on concrete initiatives that SHAPE\, together with other civil society organizations and perhaps some like-minded governments and international agencies\, can pursue in coming months and beyond. \nWe want to spell out a new direction\, but also point to the steps needed along the way. How do we create the necessary momentum for change? Where can we expect leadership to come from? What energies and resources can be brought to bear on such an enterprise? \nWe are delighted that Dr Grace Pandor will be a key contributor to this discussion. \nDr. Pandor is a remarkable South African educator\, academic and politician. She served as  South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation 2019-2024 and led the country’s historic genocide case of December 2023 brought against Israel in the International Court of Justice; she was an ANC MP since majority rule in 1994\, and held several ministerial responsibilities. She was responsible for a complete overhaul of the nation’s education system. \nAdditional speakers include: \nRichard Falk\, Grace Naledi Pandor\, Hans von Sponeck\, and Vijay Prashad. \nRegister Here  \n

SUMMARY:Online forum on the Jackson County Deflection Program Sept 26
DESCRIPTION:A comprehensive treatment-centered approach \nIn November 2020\, Oregon voters passed Ballot Measure 110. \nIt decriminalized use or possession of small amounts of specific drugs that included heroin\,\nmethamphetamine\, oxycodone and others. Measure 110 had problems due to lack of resources\nand other issues. \nIn response to public backlash\, Measure 110 was amended by Oregon House Bill 4002 in 2024.\nHB 4002 repealed the drug decriminalization portion of Measure 110\, however\, it included a\nnumber of provisions to better address the state’s addiction crisis\, including “deflection”\nprograms. \nJackson County has opted to create a deflection program. \nAs our Representative Pam Marsh has stated\, the Deflection Program “will provide individuals\nwho are found with possession with multiple pathways to connect with treatment and avoid\nlong term legal consequences\, including jail or a criminal record.” \nThe deflection program is currently being created and will go into effect October 7\, 2024.\nTo find out what to expect\, we invite you to an online public forum joining legislators\, health\nproviders and law enforcement officials (see attachment). Bring your questions!

We are excited to expand the community conversation to include our partners at Rogue Climate\, and we expect a larger turn out this month because of it. This event will also coincide with the NYC Climate Week events\, running from September 22nd through the 26th. You can learn more here. \nIn keeping with the previous community conversation\, this event is focused on creating a space where voices can join in solidarity. Where the community of climate conscious individuals can work from common ground\, and enjoy imagining the possibilities of where our respective movements can help to guide our communities. We hope you’ll join us!

SUMMARY:Event: Wonder by the Wayside: Indigenous\, Edible\, and Medicinal Plants of Southern Oregon by Roland Smith
DESCRIPTION:Wonder by the Wayside: Indigenous\, Edible\, and Medicinal Plants of Southern Oregon by Roland Smith \nFREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St.\, Ashland\, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14 \nIn age of technology and industry\, most of us have lost our connection with nature we see it as scenery\, a picture a\, post just the background to our busy lives. Sure\, we all do things to try to reconnect like walk in the park go for hikes \,take a nice long drive observing the Flora and the Fauna. But do any of us really know what magic and wonder grows alongside of us?! \nThere’s a certain curiosity that arises in all of us. Something of the soul I believe wanting to reconnect. The aim of this lecture is to hopefully invoke wonder and curiosity that resides all of us. \nExploring some of the native plants and herbs in southern Oregon\,I came to the realization anyone with a smartphone can go out\, explore for themselves\, and get enthralled with the magic by our wayside. Reconnecting the soul and the body to Mother Nature \nI personally forage and work with the medicinal properties of most of these plants. I would love to share the opportunity to ignite that spark for others by sharing this information and empowering others with knowledge. \nRoland Smith\, educator & owner at the Witch and the Alchemist Apothecary in Ashland\, OR. The apothecary is all about connecting to spirit\, connecting to nature\, connecting to oneself\, remembering again what it’s like to see magic in the world we live in\, to believe that beyond the state in which we view life is something far more miraculous. To provide the means by which wellness & enlightenment can prosper.

SUMMARY:Crown Jewels Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Environmental activist Alex Haraus and cinematographers Aidan Kranz and Elena Jean spent the last year exploring some of the last remaining ancient forests on public lands in the US. These mature and old-growth forests offer one of our best natural defenses against the impacts of climate change. But these carbon-storing powerhouses are so much more than that. \nAs the film crew travels across America exploring our different old-growth forests\, they learn more about the value that these ancient ecosystems have for the communities that depend on them. We learn that looming threats like logging\, development\, wildfires and invasive species would devastate these landscapes. These forests could be lost forever unless we can demonstrate widespread support for protecting them. This year\, the public has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to forever change the way our government manages our federal public lands. Through local advocates and grassroots storytelling\, the film makes a case for protecting mature and old-growth forests across the federal estate and shows how the audience can help.

SUMMARY:Northwest Forest Plan Amendment Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance to host webinar on Northwest Forest Plan Amendment. \nOn August 30th\, the US Forest Service will release the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed changes to the Northwest Forest Plan. For 30 years\, the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) has guided forest management across the PNW on federal lands. This will be the first amendment to the NWFP in 30 years\, and presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to establish better protections for mature and old growth forests\, meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities and a fighting chance at mitigating the climate crisis. \nAmong the key issues the Forest Service needs to address in the updated Forest Plan are tribal inclusion & fire stewardship and the protection of mature & old growth forests. To ensure the NWFP amendment enables a more just & sustainable future for our forests & communities rather than repeating the mistakes and injustices of the past\, our communities need to speak out & comment on the proposed changes. \nJoin PNFCA Tuesday\, September 10th at noon for a deep dive into these topics and what’s at stake in the NWFP\, and to get resources & information to submit effective public comments. Speakers include Meredith Jacobson\, University of Oregon PhD candidate & member of the FireGen Collaborative\, and Madeline Cowen\, Grassroots Organizer with Cascadia Wildlands. \nThe stakes of the NWFP Amendment are huge–for our last remaining mature & old growth forests\, for the livability of our climate\, for threatened & endangered species\, and improper fire-risk reduction management for forests and communities. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Tea and Conversation Honoring Local Hiroshima Survivor Planned
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to tea and conversation with Hiroshima atom bomb survivor\, author and activist Hideko Tamura Snider from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday\, Sept. 4\, at Peace House\, 543 S Mountain Ave\, Ashland\, OR 97520. \nThis intimate gathering honoring Hideko – sponsored by Southern Oregon Pachamama Alliance\, Peace House and One Sunny Day Initiatives (OSDI) – provides a perfect opportunity to talk with one of the region’s most dedicated activists whose life work has been devoted to promoting peace and a world free of nuclear weapons. Hideko’s life story\, told in her book One Sunny Day\, is one of courage and perseverance and serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing threat of nuclear warfare. Hideko will share stories from her memoir and welcome questions from attendees. \nBoth Hideko’s memoir One Sunny Day and her picture book written for children\, When a Peace Tree Blooms\, will be available to purchase that day; and she will be signing books upon request after speaking to the group. Her books are also available locally at Bloomsbury Books in Ashland\, and Barnes & Noble in Medford. \nWhen a Peace Tree Blooms\, illustrated in soft watercolors by Japanese artist Mari Kishi\, tells the story of a young child meeting an elderly couple planting special seeds. It’s a universal tale of resilience\, hope and creating peace in the world. It acknowledges the challenges of loss\, choices\, and the rewards of joining together to rebuild a better life. It can also serve as a healing and empowering story for any young child facing devastation and loss\, or a way for friends and classmates to gain deeper empathy for what others may have experienced. It is now available in English\, Japanese\, Chinese\, and Ukrainian\, with a Russian translation ready to publish. \nIn 2007\, Hideko founded One Sunny Day Initiatives (OSDI)\, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization\, to educate the public about the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons and to plant seeds of peace\, hope and reconciliation among people of the world. Hideko has made numerous presentations to organizations throughout the U.S. of her personal experience with the effects of nuclear weapons and her healing process. Learn more about Hideko’s efforts on the OSDI website. \nAttendance at the tea is free\, but please reserve your place by emailing info@sopachamama.org.

SUMMARY:Larry Ward: The Alchemy of Samsara & Nirvana
DESCRIPTION:Over the past six months\, Dr. Larry Ward has taught about each of the six realms of samsara (hell\, hungry ghost\, animal\, human\, asura\, god). \nBefore he begins teaching on the four realms that embody the path to liberation (voice-hearers\, realized ones\, bodhisattvas\, Buddha)\, Dr. Ward will offer this special talk where he’ll explore the connections and similarities between samsara and nirvana. \nThis event is a part of our year long teaching series on the Buddhist story of The 10 Worlds\, ten different yet interconnected states of mind that we all inhabit. They are fluid and impermanent. All ten are existential realities with their own moods\, characteristics and inquiries. No matter the realm\, each one invites us on a quest to learn more about ourselves\, to build our capacity to adapt to the challenges we face\, and to help relieve the suffering of all beings through breaking free from the cycle of samsara. \nNEW: Starting in August\, our dharma talks will now include a Q&A. After Peggy’s guided meditation and Larry’s talk\, we’ll open the floor to your questions for the teachers. \nOnline via Zoom \nNotes: \n\nRecording shared with all registrants and members within 48 hours after the event.\nMembers do not need to register.\nOffered on a sliding scale. Please choose the price that works for you. For the most value\, consider purchasing a membership for as little as $20/month to join every month’s meditation\, talk\, and more.\n\nRegister for this event at Lotus Institute
