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.

SUMMARY:Fixation to Freedom with author Eli Jaxon-Bear
DESCRIPTION:What if everything you believed about who you are was based on a case of mistaken identity? \nWhat if your search for happiness has been keeping you from discovering true freedom? \nIn this transformative work\, spiritual teacher Eli Jaxon-Bear cuts through centuries of confusion to reveal a profound truth: the source of human suffering isn’t in our circumstances\, but in our fixation with a false sense of self. With penetrating clarity\, he illuminates the path to recognizing our true nature—a recognition that dissolves the elaborate structures of ego and opens the door to lasting peace. \nDrawing from decades of direct experience and work with seekers worldwide\, Jaxon-Bear guides readers beyond the familiar territory of self-improvement into the revolutionary realm of self-realization. This isn’t about adding more strategies to your spiritual tool kit— it’s about seeing through the very mechanism that creates the illusion of separation and struggle. \nWhether you’re new to the spiritual journey or have spent years in meditation and self-inquiry\, Fixation to Freedom offers a direct pointing to what is already free\, whole\, and eternally at peace within you. This book isn’t just about understanding freedom—it’s an invitation to be freedom itself.

SUMMARY:Darlingside presented by the Ashland Folk Collective
DESCRIPTION:Darlingside: \nDarlingside\, an indie folk quartet formed in 2009 at Williams College\, comprises multi-instrumentalists Don Mitchell\, Auyon Mukharji\, and Harris Paseltiner. Their music is characterized by “exquisitely-arranged\, literary-minded\, baroque folk-pop\,” as noted by NPR. The band’s harmonious sound has drawn comparisons to Crosby\, Stills & Nash and Simon & Garfunkel. In 2016\, they were honored as “Artist of the Year” by Folk Alliance International. Their live performances are celebrated for their “mesmerizing harmonies and wistful songwriting.” \nFrail Talk: \nFormed in the foothills of Northern Colorado in early 2020\, Al Woodchek and Cor Wright of Frail Talk are creating a blooming universe of squiggly indie music for squiggly people. Like the kind surprise of a backyard garden\, their songs spring up from the dirt with folk roots\, soft pop colors\, and burgeoning lyricism ready to welcome every listener with daydream-love. The future is bright for Frail Talk. It’s all love now.

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
