This is an event of the Siskiyou Chapter Native Plant Society of Oregon \nSpokane-based writer Jack Nisbet is the author of several collections of essays that explore the human and natural history of the Northwest\, including Purple Flat Top\, Visible Bones\, and Ancient Places.

SUMMARY:ART in ACTION with Suzan Hatch at ART on FIRST
DESCRIPTION:Join ART on FIRST and Suzan Hatch for ART in ACTION\, an opportunity to meet\, experience\, and interact with Suzan while she provides a live demonstration of her fusing glass and mosaics. \nSuzan creates mosaic artwork using glass\, metal\, ceramics\, and semi-precious stones to form intricate designs. For many of her pieces\, she builds a three dimensional substrate that begins with chicken wire\, plaster\, and mortar. Using epoxy putty\, she then adds depth\, texture\, and flow\, something that is not found in traditional mosaic artwork\, that enables her to create a woven tapestry that dances with both the color and the light. Currently\, Suzan is embedding fused glass within her mosaics to create more dimension and interest. She also enjoys creating unusual and colorful fused glass functional pieces. \nFor more information\, please visit www.artandfirstashland.com.

SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Calm Abiding Meditaion
DESCRIPTION:This meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In 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.” \nFrom Meditation for Beginners\, by Bokar Rinpoche. \nTo attend Calm Abiding Meditation via Zoom\, email the office at OFFICE@KSCASHLAND.ORG to join the mailing list. \n
