Sunday Worship: Singing From The Heart: The Sound of Gospel
2023-10-15 10:30 - 11:30 | Unitarian Universalist Fellowship 87 4th Street, Ashland, 87 4th Street, Ashland, OR, 97520
Because many of us came from other religious backgrounds, we may have thrown out the baby with the bath water when we found those other religious experiences wanting.
UUs are looking for meaning, but we also tend to be a bit cerebral. Gospel music, although rooted in faith based communities, can show us how to move out of our heads and back into our bodies to be open and impressionable. Gospel music is about feeling and believing, but that can also mean believing in ourselves, in each other, and the differences we can make in the world around us. Come join the RVUUF choir and experience some UU Gospel!
“Gospel music is nothing but singing of good tidings– spreading the good news. It will last as long as any music because it is sung straight from the human heart.” ― Mahalia Jackson

2023-10-15 14:00 - 18:00
Enjoy fine art and critical thinking discussions on contemporary art at Crooked Mile Gallery in Phoenix, Oregon, during the first-ever book launch for “Road Food: Survival in the Local Landscape” with local Phoenix artist Beca Blake.
“Road Food: Survival in the Local Landscape,” is an impulsive performance art series produced by artist and author Beca Blake during an exploratory search for survival
in 2022 as a single mother with two children.
Set in a post-pandemic cybernetic consumer world, the family performed with novelty rood blankets bought on Amazon.com. They conducted a statement of survival in relation to consumption, place, time, and humanity in rural and urban settings while traveling past artifacts of culture in the western states of America. The performances happened spontaneously in a variety of places, both cosmopolitan and majestic along tearful trails and grateful footsteps of ancients and contemporaries. The Road Food Elucidated Edition, provides a written narrative of the journey.

2023-10-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library, 1757 Ashland St., Ashland, 97520
Based on her personal experiences of meeting ETs in South Africa, as well as other beings who had unique contact with ETs, New Thought minister and author, Rev. Steph, shares about how ETs fit into her particular spiritual philosophy. She will be sharing about how these meetings with ETs came about and what she learned from these very elevated beings who expanded her consciousness and, thereby, the boundaries of her world.
Rev. Steph will also lead an exploration of questions such as:
– Why has the subject of UFOs / ETs / UAPs been taboo?
– What is within our power to do to bust the taboos?
– How does New Thought spirituality help us to bust the taboos by contributing to freedom from fear; personally, politically, and even “extraterrestrially”?
Join Rev. Steph for an evening of upliftment and expansion. Be willing to open up to a more courageous journey forward in which risking vulnerability by sharing secrets will become commonplace to you but inspirational and healing to those around you.
Note: Rev. Steph will be presenting IN PERSON
New Thought Minister, Rev. Stephanie Clarke, affectionately known as “The Irreverent Reverend”, was born and raised in London, England, and graduated from Bradford University in 1981 with a degree in German and Russian.
While visiting South Africa in 1985, Stephanie had her first contact with extraterrestrials. She also discovered the Johannesburg United Church of Religious Science and the Science of Mind teaching and decided to emigrate. There she had a vision of starting a multi-racial spiritual community as a forerunner to the healing of Apartheid.
This vision led her to the USA in 1989 where she completed her New Thought Ministerial Training under the auspices of Dr. Rev. Michael Beckwith (of “The Secret” fame) at the Agape International Center of Truth in Los Angeles. Returning to Johannesburg in January 2000, she successfully founded a vibrant, multi-racial, metaphysical community known as Soul Home and led it until 2005.
Stephanie has explored all types of divination, esoteric, metaphysical and psycho-spiritual paths. Her greatest passions are teaching, writing, counseling, and speaking on metaphysical themes, plus facilitating sacred ceremonies and leading groups on spiritual tours.
She is the author of three books; “Down Dirty & Divine: a spiritual ride through London’s underground,” “The Miss-Adventures of an Irreverent Reverend: A Spirit-ed Guide for Rebels and Renegades,” and “The Sex Goddess: Debunking the Mythology of God & Sex.” She has been selected to facilitate a workshop at the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago in August, 2023, entitled: “Busting the Taboos of God, Sex & Death”.
Stephanie has traveled widely and lived in many countries around the world, including Japan, Russia, Holland, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Egypt, and South Africa. She currently lives in Medford, Oregon with her American husband, and is a Staff Minister at the Center for Spiritual Living (CSL) Rogue Valley.

Newcomers' Night & Calm Abiding Meditaton
2023-10-19 18:00 - 19:30
Join us for Calm Abiding Meditation followed by a talk by the lamas and gathering. All are welcome!
Calm Abiding 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.
After a guided meditation practice with our two lamas, there will be a welcome and introduction to all the classes and offerings this fall. This gathering is sometimes lovingly called “Newcomers’ Night” because it is a great way for new people to meet sangha members and to get the lay of the land at KSC. Simultaneously, many long-time members also like to attend to celebrate the start of a new season of deep and rich learning

FILM: “Accidental Truth- UFO Revelations” with Ron James
2023-10-20 20:00 - 22:00 | Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library, 1757 Ashland St., Ashland, 97520
From more than 15 years of interviews and investigation, Ron James painstakingly connects the dots with interviews of government insiders and argues that the presence of advanced extraterrestrial intelligence engaging with humanity is being suppressed.
The interviews in his film, “Accidental Truth – UFO Revelations,” help to “accidentally” weave a story that leaves little doubt that another intelligence is somehow operating around us. Dr. Michio Kaku provides scientific analysis and commentary specific to what we know. A collection of contributors from across the field all come together to settle the question. The subject is no longer up for debate, you will experience the proof.
Now we must address the bigger questions: What’s next? What does this information mean to the whole of humanity? What does it mean to you?
With revelations from true government insiders that have never been shared with the public, the acknowledgement of another advanced intelligence is only the beginning.
Winner of more than 15 awards in 2023. Narrated by Matthew Modine. Starring Dr. Michio Kaku, Dr. Gary Nolan, Ralph Blumenthal, Nick Pope, Col. John Alexander, Lue Elizondo, Christopher Mellon, Richard Dolan, Mike Bara, Dave McDonald, Melinda Leslie, Daniel Sheehan, Jimmy Church, and Congressman Tim Burchett.
“The truth can no longer be contained by those duty-bound to hide it. Officials who interact with the public regarding the UFO question openly acknowledge that they know things that they can’t reveal. In this film, the reality of an advanced intelligence engaging with humanity becomes undeniably clear.” -Ron James, Filmmaker.
2023, 89 Minutes. Narrated by Matthew Modine.
