SUMMARY:Fixation to Freedom with author Eli Jaxon-Bear
DESCRIPTION:What if everything you believed about who you are was based on a case of mistaken identity? \nWhat if your search for happiness has been keeping you from discovering true freedom? \nIn this transformative work\, spiritual teacher Eli Jaxon-Bear cuts through centuries of confusion to reveal a profound truth: the source of human suffering isn’t in our circumstances\, but in our fixation with a false sense of self. With penetrating clarity\, he illuminates the path to recognizing our true nature—a recognition that dissolves the elaborate structures of ego and opens the door to lasting peace. \nDrawing from decades of direct experience and work with seekers worldwide\, Jaxon-Bear guides readers beyond the familiar territory of self-improvement into the revolutionary realm of self-realization. This isn’t about adding more strategies to your spiritual tool kit— it’s about seeing through the very mechanism that creates the illusion of separation and struggle. \nWhether you’re new to the spiritual journey or have spent years in meditation and self-inquiry\, Fixation to Freedom offers a direct pointing to what is already free\, whole\, and eternally at peace within you. This book isn’t just about understanding freedom—it’s an invitation to be freedom itself.

Like the kind surprise of a backyard garden\, their songs spring up from the dirt with folk roots\, soft pop colors\, and burgeoning lyricism ready to welcome every listener with daydream-love. The future is bright for Frail Talk. It’s all love now.

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

SUMMARY:Walk through Jacksonville History
DESCRIPTION:Jacksonville’s “Walk through History” tours are back! \nAt 10 a.m. every Saturday from May 24th through August 30th\, Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. will be offering one-hour guided walks through Jacksonville’s National Historic Landmark District\, the first on the West Coast! Participants will take a stroll through history\, visiting government and commercial buildings\, fraternal lodges\, and homes that capture the stories of the people who transformed a gold rush town into Southern Oregon’s 19th Century social\, governmental\, and commercial hub. They’ll learn how gambling money built a church; how the Civil War ended a successful mercantile partnership; how a saloon housed the county’s first museum; how fire reshaped the town; and how a railroad both destroyed the town and preserved it. \nWalking tours leave from Jacksonville’s New City Hall (the historic “Courthouse Square”) at 206 North 5th Street between West C and D streets and cover about one mile with multiple stops. Tours are FREE but donations are encouraged! All monies go towards the preservation and maintenance of Jacksonville’s historic buildings. \nFor individuals who prefer not to “stretch their legs\,” Historic Jacksonville’s website (https://www.historicjacksonville.org) offers numerous ways to explore Jacksonville virtually. These include multiple blogs about the town and its settlers along with three video tours that introduce viewers to Jacksonville’s Historic Landmark District\, its Historic Homes\, and its Pioneer Cemetery. \nHistoric Jacksonville\, Inc. invites you to forget the “names\, dates\, places\, and battles” version of history you may have been taught in school. HJI’s live and virtual tours are about “real history”—people and their stories. They are about life! \nAdditional information on “Walk through History” and other Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. tours is available at 541-245-3650; info@historicjacksonville.org; and www.historicjacksonville.org.
