SUMMARY:Bike and E-bike Skills & Safety Workshop
DESCRIPTION:May = Bike Month! \nJoin Mike Vergeer from the Rogue Valley Transportation District for a basic skills and safety workshop for both regular bikes and e-bikes! \nBikes and e-bikes are very practical and popular choices for basic transportation around our region\, but they don’t come with a driver training course. The power and weight of e-bikes make them quite different to ride than traditional bikes. The first half of the workshop will consist of a presentation and discussion of safe bicycling on streets shared with cars. The second half will consist of hands-on safety drills and a ride. No prior experience is necessary. Workshop will be held rain or shine. \nNOTE: Participants will need to bring a helmet and a bicycle that is in good working condition in order to participate in the second half and a signed waiver is required.

When she is finished\, gemstones and borosilicate glass beads frame the pendants. \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

SUMMARY:Anna Moss presented by the Ashland Folk Collective
DESCRIPTION:Anna Moss \nVocalist/multi-instrumentalist Anna Moss hails from the verdant forests and lush limestone of the Ozarks; yet her musical personality oozes New Orleans\, the artist’s adopted hometown for many years. \nAnna’s new found brand of sultry stripped-down-soul is steeped in Southern R&B\, Americana\, porch jazz; apocalyptic love songs\, gritty hymns of humanity\, abolition\, and compassion busked to fruition in the historic French Quarter streets. \nSari Jordan \nSari Jordan is a New Jersey-born vocalist\, songwriter\, and musician based in New Orleans\, known for their dynamic voice that ranges from soft and smoky to powerful and expressive. After embracing the freedom of New Orleans\, Sari began performing their original music\, propelled by a personal heartbreak that led them to take the stage solo. Their music is characterized by raw honesty\, playful boldness\, and a blend of influences from artists like Lianne La Havas\, Phoebe Bridgers\, and Billie Holiday.
