SUMMARY:A Healer Forged in Fire – a talk by author Cathy Morton
DESCRIPTION:Are you needing a dose of inspiration? Does a part of you feel forgotten\, or are you wondering if trauma has gotten the best of you? \nAuthor Cathy Marie Morton will inspire you with stories of how she has found freedom\, real joy\, and energy to share. Her journey to retrieve the lost fragments of her heart shows us what we are all capable of\, and she will share different ways people can mend their own tattered hearts to come home to their authentic selves. \nBorn into a loving carnival family\, Cathy was badly burned in a deadly fire at age 4. She had to fight to survive again as her father turned to alcohol and abuse. \nLonging to heal her heart and her scars\, she traveled the world working with master healers. With their assistance\, she uncovered her own gifts\, while her guides and angels manifested in spirit photography. \nCathy’s sheer tenacity\, courage and determination helped her evolve into a master healer. Her story is recounted in A Healer Forged in Fire. \nCathy Morton is a Crystal Reiki Master/Trainer\, drum circle host\, crystal grid practitioner and trainer\, retreat host\, mother & grandmother\, and entrepreneur. A 47-year Alaska resident\, now an 8-year Ashland resident (living on Alaska Street!)

SUMMARY:PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) is thrilled to announce its summer exhibition\, “PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak.” \nThe exhibition will open at 5 p.m. on Thursday\, June 13\, and will be on view through August 10\, 2024. \nAbout the Exhibition: \nThe act of pacing involves moving forward in a measured\, rhythmic manner\, where each step is taken in consideration of the one before it. “PACING” explores this duality of ease and tension through the lens-based works of three midcareer\, female-identifying photographers: Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak. Each artist employs performative methods to document their bodies and those of others\, reflecting on their relationships to social histories\, expectations\, and structures. \nMeet the Artists: \nMelanie Flood has used the camera as a tool for self-expression throughout her life. Her photographs\, spanning from childhood to the present\, explore her evolving femininity and critique gender constructs through a blend of vulnerability and playful experimentation. \nTarrah Krajnak reclaims the photographic medium’s masculine history through her Indigenous transracial adoptee experience. Her interrelated works use the body to reenact lost histories\, employing rituals and performances to create a continuous connection between her presence\, the work’s origins\, and its future. \nDru Donovan highlights the strength and ability of the female body in both athletes and caregivers. Her crisp black-and-white images juxtapose the force and endurance required for various actions\, emphasizing the interdependence and mutual responsibility inherent in these roles. \nMore information: https://sma.sou.edu/exhibitions/pacing-photographs-by-dru-donovan-melanie-flood-and-tarrah-krajnak/ \nImage: Dru Donovan\, Liberty Pose\, 2017\, Video loop\, 35 x 57 inches\, courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Developing Your ESP: A Formula for Practical Magic by Will Wilkinson
DESCRIPTION:All of us have the potential for extraordinary creativity\, yet we often struggle with real-life challenges like not having enough money\, unsatisfying relationships\, health problems\, etc. Meanwhile\, our ESP\, our “Elementary Spiritual Powers\,” remain undeveloped. \nLearn to activate your innate potential to create/heal with attention and intention through a four-part\, proven formula that is easily learned and\, with practice over time\, develops skills for turning stubborn problems into evolutionary advances. \nWe wouldn’t apply makeup to a mirror or shave our reflection to improve how we look yet we manipulate “the world” as if it were disconnected from consciousness. Our experience in the world is a reflection of our inner reality. \nLearn How to: \n• Activate directed attention to change what you perceive (The Observer Effect).\n• Transcend human mortality by embracing divine immortality.\n• Generate prosperity through trading in an energetic monetary system.\n• Engage with social issues to bring local and global change\, Love first. \nParticipants are invited to bring one personal and one real world issue you care about (like finding a life partner / addressing wealth inequity) to apply the Formula\, experience how it works\, and receive personal coaching so you can apply and perfect the technique on your own. \nWill T Wilkinson was born in a dream that repeated every night until age nine. At 42\, he discovered the place of this dream\, in the Iao Valley on Maui. Soon after\, he met his beloved and lived together there for seven years\, exploring the meaning of a life framed by a past life recollection and a future vision of humanity transformed. \nWill has authored over twenty books and his latest\, The Success Paradox\, became a number one best seller on the Wall Street Journal list in June 2023. He winters in the forest south of Ashland and summers on Maui with his partner\, Tashina. He directs the OpenMind Fitness Foundation\, exploring spiritual solutions to mental illness. \n“Every one of us can make magic\, in fact we already do\, all day every day. But we’re largely unconscious of the creating process so we’ve never developed the skills required to cast good spells and live a deeply fulfilling life. Now is the best time to get activated!” \nPresenter’s Website: https://www.openmindfitnessfoundation.org \nFREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St.\, Ashland\, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14

SUMMARY:PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) is thrilled to announce its summer exhibition\, “PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak.” \nThe exhibition will open at 5 p.m. on Thursday\, June 13\, and will be on view through August 10\, 2024. \nAbout the Exhibition: \nThe act of pacing involves moving forward in a measured\, rhythmic manner\, where each step is taken in consideration of the one before it. “PACING” explores this duality of ease and tension through the lens-based works of three midcareer\, female-identifying photographers: Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak. Each artist employs performative methods to document their bodies and those of others\, reflecting on their relationships to social histories\, expectations\, and structures. \nMeet the Artists: \nMelanie Flood has used the camera as a tool for self-expression throughout her life. Her photographs\, spanning from childhood to the present\, explore her evolving femininity and critique gender constructs through a blend of vulnerability and playful experimentation. \nTarrah Krajnak reclaims the photographic medium’s masculine history through her Indigenous transracial adoptee experience. Her interrelated works use the body to reenact lost histories\, employing rituals and performances to create a continuous connection between her presence\, the work’s origins\, and its future. \nDru Donovan highlights the strength and ability of the female body in both athletes and caregivers. Her crisp black-and-white images juxtapose the force and endurance required for various actions\, emphasizing the interdependence and mutual responsibility inherent in these roles. \nMore information: https://sma.sou.edu/exhibitions/pacing-photographs-by-dru-donovan-melanie-flood-and-tarrah-krajnak/ \nImage: Dru Donovan\, Liberty Pose\, 2017\, Video loop\, 35 x 57 inches\, courtesy of the artist.

Between interdimensional subway cars\, expanding black-holes\, and giants who weave the fabric of space-time\, Or So It Would Seam takes audiences on a riotous adventure out of this galaxy to contemplate the intricate and unexpected ways we are all connected to one another. Filled to the brim with giant puppets\, original storytelling\, and live music\, Or So features a cast of 13 performers/musicians – and you\, the audience! \nString and Shadow is a theater company based in Olympia\, Washington. Each summer\, they create a giant outdoor touring puppet show that weaves together a variety of puppetry styles\, circus arts\, and original music. With copious amounts of cardboard\, fabric\, and paper-mache\, String and Shadow’s worlds of fantasy and fable aim to pluck at the strings of universal wonder\, innocence\, and joy. \nFormed in the summer of 2020 to bring a Drive-In puppet show to their community in lock-down\, String and Shadow has gone on to create six original full length shows and to tour their shows throughout Washington. Oregon\, California\, Montana\, and Utah. They regularly collaborate with parks departments\, libraries\, nonprofits\, and public schools to bring their unique performances to the public.

SUMMARY:Poetry Reading – Rachel Barton and Louise Barden read their poetry
DESCRIPTION:Rachel 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. \nHer 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.

Little did we know how those surgeries\, or sports injuries\, or broken hearts\, or broken toes\, or moments of being shamed in the first grade…..or driving\, sitting at the computer\, crossing our legs\, slouching\, being “handed” left or right\, or any ways that we are “unconscious” was going to take us into the future. \nEven young people are suffering pain and degenerative problems these days. \nEver since we were tapped on the behind when we entered this realm and “took our first breath” and cried\, did anyone show us how to breathe? Much less why we breathe? Most of us are likely unconsciously in a subtle yet collective “fight or flight” breathing pattern. \nWe all have thresholds of comfort\, approach\, and courage to defy perceptions and explore new paradigms. In this presentation\, we’re going to do a functional fly-over of the deep and “fascinating” world of Fascia\, aka Connective Tissue: the body’s most abundant material. \nLearn about Fascia:\n• Its form – a fluid\, gel-like matrix that envelopes all other structures of the body\n• Its function – hydration\, sensing\, responding\n• Its purpose – protection\, perception\, communication\n• Its language – flexibility\, balance\, structure\, strength\, movement\, resilience\, awareness\, and\, very importantly\, pain and silence. \nWe’ll learn about Block Therapy\, a DIY (do it yourself)\, simple approach to gaining more access\, understanding\, and cooperation with ourselves by working with the Fascia system so that we can be directly involved in how we age(less)\, recover\, process\, and consciously turn the tides on aging\, degeneration\, and un-wellness. Specifically\, we will learn about decompressing Fascia\, breathing\, and bringing life back into tissues. \nJessica-Mycelia is dedicated to wholistic and simple approaches to life. As an international flight attendant in the 80’s and 90s\, she was touched by many different cultures and how nature and love shone through good times and bad; and how unbelievably resilient people really are. As a wholistic Aesthetician her approach to skincare and beauty is bringing out the natural glow and healing ability within each person. Her specialty is facial massage\, working with the fascia and lymph to cleanse\, uplift\, and rejuvenate\, along with the traditional Chinese understanding of raising “Shen” or the light within. She is at Waterstone Spa if you are looking for a facial! \nBlock Therapy and Fascia Decompression came along during a very difficult time in Jessica’s life as a lifeline and a pathway to unexpected healing and renewal. The practice is simple. The effects are profound. She recently became a Certified Block Therapy Instructor and is teaching classes at Inward Bound Wellness Pilates and Yoga Center in Ashland.\nAnd yes\, Block Therapy will get you feeling and looking more youth-full and healthier. Fascia is the Matrix. If fascia touches it\, fascia changes it. Can Block Therapy help you? Let’s grab a Block Buddy\, kick our feet up\, take a deep diaphragmatic breath and find out! \nFREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St.\, Ashland\, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14
