SUMMARY:Oregon Butterflies: What They Need to Thrive
DESCRIPTION:Join JCLS and the Jackson County Master Gardeners to learn about native butterflies and their habitats! This virtual presentation by Master Gardener Lynn Kunstman will share information about butterflies found in Oregon\, their native landscapes and food sources\, and how we can help them thrive. \nLynn Kunstman is a Master Gardener living in Medford\, Oregon. She has lived in the Rogue Valley since 1986. She holds a bachelor’s degree in wildlife management and a Master’s Degree of Science in Education. A retired middle school science and special education teacher\, Lynn’s students at Ashland Middle School established the school’s butterfly garden.

Lynn’s entire front yard in Medford is now given over to wildlife\, planted with edible trees and shrubs\, as well as pollinator plants. The back yard is planted in fruit trees\, berries and vegetables\, for the humans. She is an enthusiastic advocate of gardens planted with wildlife\, pollinators\, and butterflies in mind.

SUMMARY:Lama Sundays – Calm Abiding Meditation
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.” From Meditation for Beginners\, by Bokar Rinpoche \nJoin in-person or via Zoom (hybrid). Please contact the office to receive our monthly emails and the Zoom link for this practice: OFFICE@KSCASHLAND.ORG \nHeld 9 to 11:30 a.m. Sunday\, Feb. 4\, March 10\, and April 7.

SUMMARY:What's at Stake
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) reopens at 5 p.m. Thursday\, Jan. 11\, 2024\, with a new exhibition\, “What’s at Stake.” \nCurated by Catharine Clark\, owner and founding director of Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco\, this exhibition will feature artists Zeina Barakeh\, Al Farrow\, and Masami Teraoka. This compelling exhibition explores the urgent issues of our time\, delving into the mechanisms of war and colonialism while interrogating the unpredictability and legitimacy of armed conflict. It will be on view through March 23\, 2024. \n“What’s at Stake” sheds light on the devastating impacts of war\, human rights violations\, and environmental collapse\, compelling viewers to pause and reflect on our collective responsibility to one another. The exhibition raises essential questions about the consequences when violence goes unchecked and challenges us to consider what is truly at stake in a world grappling with these pressing issues. \nSMA Executive Director Scott Malbaurn shared\, “During a recent trip to San Francisco with museum members\, we visited solo exhibitions at Catharine Clark Gallery featuring Masami Teraoka\, Al Farrow\, and Zeina Barakeh. Recognizing the common theme of exploring the impact of war\, especially for artists raised in wartime milieus like Teraoka and Barakeh alongside the sculpture of Al Farrow\, which are assembled with war time munitions\, we decided to present these shows collectively as “What’s at Stake.” This group exhibition becomes a poignant question and statement\, resonating with contemporary violent events that seem to be happening all of the time globally.” \nAn opening reception will take place 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday\, Jan. 11. Curator Catharine Clark and select artists will be in attendance. The opening reception is free and open to the public; complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres will be provided.

DESCRIPTION:The latest installment in the monthly video and discussion series “Bridging Divides” will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday\, March 13\, at the Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library\, 1757 Ashland St.\, Ashland. \nThe discussion is entitled “I Don’t Know.” A prerequisite to bridging divides is being able to not be so certain about\, and cling so tightly\, to our perspectives. \n“Let go of certainty. The opposite isn’t uncertainty. It’s openness\, curiosity and a willingness to embrace paradox\, rather than choose up sides.”\n— Tony Schwartz \nAre you feeling concerned about the growing divides occurring in our world?

SUMMARY:"Bridging Divides" Learning to Depolarize our Relationships with Marla Estes
DESCRIPTION:A Monthly Video and Discussion Series Facilitated by Marla Estes\, MA.\nHeld every Second Wednesday\, 7 PM at RVML.\nMarch 13 Topic: “Let Go of Certainty” \nA pre-requisite to bridging divides is being able to not be so certain about ~ and cling so tightly ~ to our perspectives. \n“Let go of certainty. The opposite isn’t uncertainty. It’s openness\, curiosity\, and a willingness to embrace paradox\, rather than choose up sides. The ultimate challenge is to accept ourselves exactly as we are\, but never stop trying to learn and grow.” – Tony Schwartz \nSeries Description: Are you feeling concerned about the growing divides occurring in our world? The first step\, and one that each one of us can do\, is to “depolarize within.” We do this by learning about our human “operating systems\,” becoming self-aware and then making different choices about how we behave. \nPolarization not only diminishes our capacity for true deliberative dialog and problem solving\, but it is dividing society into contentious\, conflicted parts. Left unchecked\, it is becoming a fundamental threat to social harmony and ultimately the core mechanisms of democratic society. \nJoin facilitator Marla Estes\, MA every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7 pm and learn how to “depolarize within.” Watch fascinating and insightful videos carefully selected to explore ways to depolarize and then engage in facilitated discussion to help integrate new perspectives. \nWith a background in Psychology\, Marla created Building Bridges in 2017 to address the growing social and political polarization in our country. \nFor over 15 years\, she has been giving presentations\, movie nights\, book groups\, workshops\, and classes helping people learn to develop insights and skills in approaching difficult conversations\, deepening and growing healthy\, functional\, and fulfilling relationships. \nMarla is currently the Jackson County Coordinator for Urban Rural Action which builds relationships through differences.

SUMMARY:9D Transformational Breathwork with Nikki Clifton
DESCRIPTION:Experience a new generation of breathwork — artfully engineered sound and breath journeys that catalyze life-changing transformational experiences. \n9D breathwork combines cutting edge audio technology with guided vocal coaching\, music\, subliminal suggestion\, frequencies and vibrations that sculpt your neurology. It uses timeless wisdom and modern inspiration with transformational breathwork for a powerful and paradigm-shifting journey into your nervous system that clears trauma and limiting beliefs\, and shifts anxiety\, depression and negative thoughts\, deeply restoring your body to optimum health at a cellular level and ushering in a deep feeling of peace and wellbeing. \nAs a former practicing acupuncturist\, Nikki Clifton is highly trained in the energy systems of the body.

SUMMARY:What's at Stake
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) reopens at 5 p.m. Thursday\, Jan. 11\, 2024\, with a new exhibition\, “What’s at Stake.” \nCurated by Catharine Clark\, owner and founding director of Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco\, this exhibition will feature artists Zeina Barakeh\, Al Farrow\, and Masami Teraoka. This compelling exhibition explores the urgent issues of our time\, delving into the mechanisms of war and colonialism while interrogating the unpredictability and legitimacy of armed conflict. It will be on view through March 23\, 2024. \n“What’s at Stake” sheds light on the devastating impacts of war\, human rights violations\, and environmental collapse\, compelling viewers to pause and reflect on our collective responsibility to one another. The exhibition raises essential questions about the consequences when violence goes unchecked and challenges us to consider what is truly at stake in a world grappling with these pressing issues. \nSMA Executive Director Scott Malbaurn shared\, “During a recent trip to San Francisco with museum members\, we visited solo exhibitions at Catharine Clark Gallery featuring Masami Teraoka\, Al Farrow\, and Zeina Barakeh. Recognizing the common theme of exploring the impact of war\, especially for artists raised in wartime milieus like Teraoka and Barakeh alongside the sculpture of Al Farrow\, which are assembled with war time munitions\, we decided to present these shows collectively as “What’s at Stake.” This group exhibition becomes a poignant question and statement\, resonating with contemporary violent events that seem to be happening all of the time globally.” \nAn opening reception will take place 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday\, Jan. 11. Curator Catharine Clark and select artists will be in attendance. The opening reception is free and open to the public; complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres will be provided. The Museum will be closed on Saturday\, Jan. 13 for a private event. \nNew Masterworks on Loan and Highlights from the Permanent Collection will also be on view in the Entry Gallery. Museum hours will be Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is always free\, but a $5 donation is suggested. \nWhat:\nSchneider Museum of Art presents: “What’s at Stake \nFree\, and open to the public.
