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

SUMMARY:Book Talk – Illusions of Control: Dilemmas in Managing U.S. Proxy Forces in Afghanistan\, Iraq\, and Syria
DESCRIPTION:Since the start of the U.S. war on terror\, the United States has backed various militias and rebels in the Middle East and Central Asia. Using proxies has allowed the U.S. to reduce its own troop deployments and benefit from the local knowledge of indigenous armed groups. However\, these partnerships carry significant diplomatic\, human rights\, reputational\, and tactical risks. Gaston’s book explores case studies of these relationships in Afghanistan\, Iraq\, and Syria\, examining how U.S. policymakers manage these risks. Has support for proxies been a success\, failure\, or something in between? Can proxies truly be managed? And are the risks worth the potential benefits? \nJoin a discussion with Erica Gaston\, Head of the Conflict Prevention and Sustaining Peace Programme at the United Nations University Centre for Policy Research\, that delves into the murky world of U.S. proxy forces in the War on Terror. Adam Weinstein\, Deputy Middle East Director at the Quincy Institute\, will speak with the author. \nThe discussion will take place on Thursday\, August 15th from 12:00 – 1:00 PM Eastern Time. \nRegister with the Quincy Institute

SUMMARY:Poetry Reading – Rachel Barton and Louise Barden read their poetry
DESCRIPTION:Monday August 12th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nRachel Barton is a poet\, writing coach\, and founding editor of Willawaw Journal. She also serves as an associate editor for Cloudbank Books. Her collection\, This is the Lightness\, was published by The Poetry Box in 2022. Her chapbook\, Happiness Comes\, was published by dancing girl press in 2018.  Barton’s recent publications include Across the Margins\, SALT\, SLEET\, Cirque\, and the Oregon English Journal. She is at home in the PNW\, but also has roots in Alaska\, West Virginia\, and Indiana. For more information about the author\, go to rachelbartonwriter.com. \nThe poems in Jacob’s Ladder are not so much steps to Heaven as they are portals going deeper into the daily. “What am I supposed to see today?” they ask\, which at turns will require hanging out with the dead\, dreaming of houses ablaze\, or\, more frequently\, re-considering chores\, garden\, relationships—while not forgetting clouds\, moss\, rain. The poems aim to live closer to one’s life. They are ready to walk through the next door. –Richard Robbins\, Oratory of All Souls \nLouise Cary Barden\, a 2023 New Women’s Voices semi-finalist\, has won the Lois Cranston Prize (Calyx Journal)\, Oregon Poetry Association award\, the Harperprints chapbook competition\, and others. Her poems recently appeared in such journals as Timberline\, humana obscura\, Willawaw and Cathexis Northwest. Her work is imbued with the imagery of nature as narrated by a self-described tree-hugger whose career indecisiveness led her from college English instruction to advertising and editorial copywriting\, and marketing management. After living from Maine to Wyoming\, she spent 40 years in North Carolina before retiring to Oregon\, where she is still trying to learn to love the rain

SUMMARY:Julie Mathison talks about the pros and cons of traditional and indie publishing
DESCRIPTION:Monday July 29th  7:00 to 8:00 pm\n\n\nAward-winning indie author Julie Mathison came to independent publishing after years of pursuing the traditional dream\, securing a top agent\, making the rounds to the “Big Five” of New York publishing houses ~ and ultimately relinquishing that dream for the path less traveled. In an age that increasingly celebrates minority voices\, she has become passionate about the kind of diversity pioneered by small\, micro\, and author presses\, one based on artistic identity ~ a diversity of content\, voice\, and sensibility. This talk will be an exploration of lessons learned from the journey through both worlds. It will examine the pros and cons of the traditional and indie publishing paradigms and will probe how the marketplace shapes our shared literary canon. The author will invite questions\, anecdotes\, and participation from the audience\, writers and readers alike.

SUMMARY:The Nicaraguan Revolution 45 Years On: Global Solidarity in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:Sat 20 Jul 2024 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM BST\nMarx Memorial Library\, EC1R 0DU \n“We see youth in North America rising up in protest\, the condemnation of the genocide that is being committed against the Palestinian people. The protests are multiplying not only in North America\, but in every country of our planet. The rulers…are unmasking themselves.” – Daniel Ortega\, 30 April 2024 \nOn 19 July\, as Nicaragua celebrates the 45th anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution\, a reconfiguration of global power is playing out as rage escalates internationally at the genocide being committed in Gaza with arms and political support from the US\, UK\, EU and other allies. \nIn this emerging multipolar world\, voices of the South are being raised as one against US efforts to dominate and force other countries to follow its will. \nProgressive governments across Latin America and Africa are united in their condemnation of US efforts to flout international law and to impose illegal coercive measures (sanctions) on countries who fail to submit to their control. \nThis meeting will celebrate Nicaragua’s achievements and look at the country’s support for Palestine in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Speakers will also examine how unity of the South has such an important role to play in securing peace and justice for all and an end to US efforts at control and domination. \nSpeakers: \nHis Excellency Dr Carlos Arguello\, Nicaraguan Ambassador to the Netherlands and Nicaragua’s representative to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). \nHer Excellency Ismara Mercedes Vargas Walter\, Cuban Ambassador to the UK \nRuby Cox\, Member of the NSCAG Executive Committee \nChair: Roger McKenzie\, International Editor of the Morning Star \nWe are hoping that it will be possible during the meeting to show some video footage of the Nicaraguan anniversary celebrations on 19 July.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Orientation on July 9th for Cooling and Smoke Shelters
DESCRIPTION:The City of Ashland and Joy of Volunteering\, a new organization working to support Ashland’s unhoused community\, will host an orientation July 9 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at 2200 Ashland Street behind Oil Stop. \nThe group is looking for volunteers that would like to support our unhoused friends and neighbors with compassion\, clear communication\, an open heart\, and strong personal boundaries. \n“We need people to host this summer’s cooling and smoke shelters\, to provide meals and snacks\, and to offer transportation\,” wrote Avram Sacks\, who will facilitate the orientation. \nThe Cooling Shelters will be called when the temperature is predicted to go above 95 degrees and will usually run from noon to 7PM. The smoke shelters will be called when the smoke level rises above 150\, and will stay open until the smoke drops below 150. Hosts will be needed for daytime and overnight shifts. \nProviding transportation for folks from downtown to 2200 Ashland Street in excessive heat or smoke can really make a huge difference. Most unhoused people carry their belongings with them. It could be quite challenging to walk that distance when they might already be suffering from dehydration or exhaustion. \nThose who like to prepare food could offer smoothies\, watermelon\, snacks or a light meal. Many more people come to the shelters when they know that food will be provided. \nDetailed job descriptions will be given at the orientation: Tuesday\, July 9th\, from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at 2200 Ashland St.\, Ashland. \nFor more information\, please contact Avram at 541-220-7307.
