The Creative Alchemy Cycle: Activate Your Creativity to Wake Up and Get Free with author Sarah Greenman
2025-03-17 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Bloomsbury Books, 290 E. Main St., Ashland, OR, 97520, United States
The Creative Alchemy Cycle is a year-long journey that will deepen your relationship with the natural world, shake up limiting beliefs about your own creativity, and inspire you to make your own mark.
At a time when we are experiencing shock waves of collective grief due to racism, sexism, late-stage capitalism, colonialism, and compounding climate loss, Greenman lays out a nature-centered approach for embodied healing, joyful expression, and meaningful action.
Her work offers a radical invitation for readers to tap their creativity as a force for social change. With deep permission and generous guidance, Greenman reminds us why creativity is a powerful tool for healing, justice, joy and collective liberation.

John B. Leiberg was a Swedish immigrant who homesteaded in northern Idaho in 1885. After gaining a reputation for his knowledge of the flora of the Intermountain West, government agencies dispatched Leiberg to eastern Oregon in 1894 and 1896, where his duties extended to a preliminary survey of what later became the Siskiyou National Forest. Join author Jack Nisbet as we trace Leiberg’s routes, marvel at what he found, and try to understand how his fieldwork might reflect on the future of southern Oregon ecosystems. This is an event of the Siskiyou Chapter Native Plant Society of Oregon
Spokane-based writer Jack Nisbet is the author of several collections of essays that explore the human and natural history of the Northwest, including Purple Flat Top, Visible Bones, and Ancient Places. Nisbet has also written award-winning biographies of cartographer David Thompson (Sources of the River) and naturalist David Douglas (The Collector). Nisbet’s most recent project, The Dreamer and the Doctor, traces the botanical explorations of John B. Leiberg, whose journeys included two landmark trips covering eastern and southern Oregon in the 1890s.

ART in ACTION with Suzan Hatch at ART on FIRST
2025-03-20 12:00 - 17:00 | ART on FIRST, 20 South First Street, Ashland, 97520
Join ART on FIRST and Suzan Hatch for ART in ACTION, an opportunity to meet, experience, and interact with Suzan while she provides a live demonstration of her fusing glass and mosaics.
Suzan creates mosaic artwork using glass, metal, ceramics, and semi-precious stones to form intricate designs. For many of her pieces, she builds a three dimensional substrate that begins with chicken wire, plaster, and mortar. Using epoxy putty, she then adds depth, texture, and flow, something that is not found in traditional mosaic artwork, that enables her to create a woven tapestry that dances with both the color and the light. Currently, Suzan is embedding fused glass within her mosaics to create more dimension and interest. She also enjoys creating unusual and colorful fused glass functional pieces.

Thursday Evening Calm Abiding Meditaion
2025-03-20 18:00 - 19:30 | Kagyu Sukha Choling, 109 Clear Creek Drive, Ashland, 97520
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.
“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.
To attend Calm Abiding Meditation via Zoom, email the office at OFFICE@KSCASHLAND.ORG to join the mailing list.

The spiritual practice known as Way of the Cross, Stations of the Cross and the Via Dolorosa has it roots in the intentions of pilgrims to the Holy Land over many hundreds of years. The Episcopal Book of Occasional Services lays out two versions of the Way of the Cross. This year we will use the Scriptural Way of the Cross. Come, be a pilgrim the first six of the seven Fridays in Lent. Join us at noon on Fridays beginning March 7 and concluding on April 11 in the Sanctuary.
