DESCRIPTION:Join us for a weekend of Dharma talks and guided practice exploring the “Seven Point Cause-Effect Method\,” a time-honored\, organic process for nurturing bodhicitta\, the Brave Heart of Awakening. The Method is this: \n• Opening to kinship\n• Honoring kindness\n• Returning gratitude\n• Touching into affection\n• Kindling compassion\n• Exceptional resolve\n• Brave heart of awakening \nSupported by integrative practice\, the Buddha’s contemplative technology (comprised of the depth practice of listening\, contemplating\, and meditating)\, we will develop an accurate understanding of the method; discuss our doubts and aspirations with respect to its practice and efficacy; and engage in experiential analysis to plumb the depths of the Brave Heart of Awakening as it is\, here and now\, and yet to be. \nPractitioners will receive supplementary resources and will have ample opportunity to listen\, contemplate\, and meditate throughout our time together. This teaching is open to everyone. \nWeekend Schedule: Friday\, December 8 (5 – 6:30 p.m.)\nSaturday\, December 9 (10 a.m. – noon and 2 – 4 p.m.)\nSunday\, December 10 (8:30 – 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. – noon) \nKarma Yeshe Chödrön and Karma Zöpa Jigme are students of Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche\, and have been full-time practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism for over twenty years. Since 2005\, they have been teaching and translating Dharma texts and oral teachings from Tibetan to English for the Rigpe Dorje Institute for International Students at Pullahari Monastery in Nepal.

SUMMARY:Siskiyou Singers Holiday 2023 Concert: “Ancient Melodies”
DESCRIPTION:Join Siskiyou Singers for the holidays as we explore the origins of the music we’ve come to love during this special time of year\, along with contemporary interpretations of many other seasonal favorites. \nPerformances of “Ancient Melodies” will be at SOU’s Music Recital Hall in Ashland on Friday\, Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday\, Dec. 9 and 10\, at 3:00 p.m. General admission is $25 ($5 for students and Oregon Trail Card holders). Tickets are available from choir members\, at Music Coop or Paddington Station in Ashland\, online\, or at the door. \nThe first half of the program will begin with two Spanish villancicos (Christmas carols) from the 16th century. These sprightly pieces will contrast Rachmaninoff’s “Bogoroditse Devo\,” and “Videntes Stellam Magi” (“The Wise Men Saw the Star”) by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina\, a spectacular telling of the story of the wise men written for two antiphonal choirs. \nWe will also perform contemporary settings of ancient texts\, including “O Magnum Mysterium” (“O Great Mystery”) by Morten Lauridsen. Also featured will be a neo-Renaissance piece by well-known local composer William Ashworth and a traditional black spiritual\, “See Dat Babe\,” in a great concert arrangement\, by Stacey Gibbs. \nIn the second half of the concert we will perform holiday favorites set in exciting ways\, including “The Holly and the Ivy” in a heart-warming setting by Alice Parker\, and jazz arrangements of “Let It Snow\,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas\,” and “Winter Wonderland.” The program will end with a profound setting of “Silent Night” by Ivo Antognini and\, as always for our choir\, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas\,” as arranged by John Rutter. \nRogue Valley musicologist Ed Wight will present a free pre-concert lecture about the music one hour before the Dec. 8 and 10 performances. \nDon’t miss this exceptional holiday celebration!
