SUMMARY:Calm Abiding Sunday - Meditation & Teaching with Lama Pema
DESCRIPTION:Join Lama Pema for a guided Calm Abiding Meditation\, followed by a tea break and teaching. All are welcome. One Sunday each month\, from 9:00 to 11:30 am. \nIn this practice\, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support\, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do\, we release them and maintain our connection to the support. \n“From this practice\, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness\, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed\, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity\, freedom in the face of circumstances\, and ultimately Buddhahood.” From Meditation for Beginners\, by Bokar Rinpoche \nPlease contact the office to receive our monthly emails and the Zoom link for this practice: OFFICE@KSCASHLAND.ORG

SUMMARY:Sunday Service: Peace\, Solitude\, and Being Alone
DESCRIPTION:Being alone is not always the same as being lonely. As a culture\, we are often taught to be afraid to turn off our devices\, disconnect\, and take time to be alone with ourselves. But over centuries\, solitude has been held up as healthy\, restorative\, and necessary. Rev. Sean will lead this service. \nMonthly Theme: Loneliness \nAttend in person or watch live or recorded on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@roguevalleyunitarianuniver8871

In the final months of his mother Elaine’s late-stage dementia\, gay filmmaker Kyle Henry uses his extensive family archive to travel back in time\, exploring the complicated bonds of identity\, history\, and belonging in his large Texas family. Charting Elaine’s promising early life through her years of motherhood and self-sacrifice\, finally tracing their relationship to its inevitable end\, Time Passages playfully explores Kyle’s conflicting feelings of love\, grief\, guilt\, and helplessness. Beneath the Kodachrome smiles and grainy Super-8 home movies lie the difficult truths that so many families hide. With their unearthing\, Time Passages becomes a memento mori: a testament to love\, legacy and the things that carry us through life’s most challenging times. \nABOUT THE FILMMAKER/WRITER/DIRECTOR: \nFor 30 years\, Kyle has traversed film forms to bring authentic stories of interrelationship to audiences at fests\, theaters\, and streaming platforms. His fictions use documentary methods to devise stories based on research\, creating deeper authenticity. His documentaries use fictional techniques to portray interior worlds of subjective memory and thought. From his SXSW premiered documentaries University Inc.’s exploration of toxic higher-ed corporatization and American Cowboy’s sensitive stereotype toppling portrayal of a gay rodeo champ; to Sundance and Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight premiered fiction feature Room’s psychic journey of a working class woman in post-9/11 America\, Fourplay’s vivid investigation of sexual intimacy\, to Chicago set Rogers Park’s “eye for the intimate\, dividend-paying gesture” (NYTimes) that is “brimming with universal truths” (Chicago Sun-Times)\, his deep mining of human experience has the purposeful goal of facilitating community discussion\, as he tours with all of his works to converse directly with audiences in a variety of settings. Time Passages is his re-emergence as a documentarian after 20 years making fiction films.
