SUMMARY:PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) is thrilled to announce its summer exhibition\, “PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak.” \nThe exhibition will open at 5 p.m. on Thursday\, June 13\, and will be on view through August 10\, 2024. \nAbout the Exhibition: \nThe act of pacing involves moving forward in a measured\, rhythmic manner\, where each step is taken in consideration of the one before it. “PACING” explores this duality of ease and tension through the lens-based works of three midcareer\, female-identifying photographers: Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak. Each artist employs performative methods to document their bodies and those of others\, reflecting on their relationships to social histories\, expectations\, and structures. \nMeet the Artists: \nMelanie Flood has used the camera as a tool for self-expression throughout her life. Her photographs\, spanning from childhood to the present\, explore her evolving femininity and critique gender constructs through a blend of vulnerability and playful experimentation. \nTarrah Krajnak reclaims the photographic medium’s masculine history through her Indigenous transracial adoptee experience. Her interrelated works use the body to reenact lost histories\, employing rituals and performances to create a continuous connection between her presence\, the work’s origins\, and its future. \nDru Donovan highlights the strength and ability of the female body in both athletes and caregivers. Her crisp black-and-white images juxtapose the force and endurance required for various actions\, emphasizing the interdependence and mutual responsibility inherent in these roles. \nMore information: https://sma.sou.edu/exhibitions/pacing-photographs-by-dru-donovan-melanie-flood-and-tarrah-krajnak/ \nImage: Dru Donovan\, Liberty Pose\, 2017\, Video loop\, 35 x 57 inches\, courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Tapping: Self-Healing with the Transformative Power of Energy Psychology with authors Donna Eden and David Feinstein
DESCRIPTION:What if the answer to what’s holding you back was at your very fingertips? That’s exactly the solution presented in “Tapping.” \nWe all face a range of issues in common areas of life\, from worry\, depression\, and trauma to self-defeating habits\, addictions\, and relationships. Thankfully\, Tapping is an accessible and authoritative new work that offers a vibrant response to the psychological and spiritual trials presented by a world in unprecedented distress. \nRenowned clinical psychologist Dr. David Feinstein\, along with the world’s most sought-after expert on energy medicine\, Donna Eden\, promise: “Whether the emotional issue at hand is caused by stress or anxiety\, physical ailments\, aging\, the pressures of parenting\, work\, or staying centered and grounded in this world\, we offer a framework and a set of tools to help you show up at your best.” \nTapping energy points on the skin while bringing problems and goals to mind changes the brain in ways that help to overcome those challenges and support those aspirations. This stimulating practice places an astonishingly effective tool into your hands\, quite literally. \nEmerging from time-honored healing traditions\, the procedure signals your nervous system to reduce fear\, anger\, stress\, and grief while activating brain regions involved with problem-solving and managing emotions–to help you find inner balance and take charge of the internal models that govern your life. \nAs cultural historian Dr. Jean Houston declares in her foreword\, this “is a stunning call to action at a time of desperate personal and collective need.” Created for everyday and professional readers alike\, here is an unprecedented resource for self-care and personal growth. Through their extensive research and field-tested refinements on this method\, Eden and Feinstein combine the scientifically-validated effectiveness of tapping with the best practices of psychotherapy\, helping you move forward to a healthier and happier life.

SUMMARY:PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) is thrilled to announce its summer exhibition\, “PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak.” \nThe exhibition will open at 5 p.m. on Thursday\, June 13\, and will be on view through August 10\, 2024. \nAbout the Exhibition: \nThe act of pacing involves moving forward in a measured\, rhythmic manner\, where each step is taken in consideration of the one before it. “PACING” explores this duality of ease and tension through the lens-based works of three midcareer\, female-identifying photographers: Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak. Each artist employs performative methods to document their bodies and those of others\, reflecting on their relationships to social histories\, expectations\, and structures. \nMeet the Artists: \nMelanie Flood has used the camera as a tool for self-expression throughout her life. Her photographs\, spanning from childhood to the present\, explore her evolving femininity and critique gender constructs through a blend of vulnerability and playful experimentation. \nTarrah Krajnak reclaims the photographic medium’s masculine history through her Indigenous transracial adoptee experience. Her interrelated works use the body to reenact lost histories\, employing rituals and performances to create a continuous connection between her presence\, the work’s origins\, and its future. \nDru Donovan highlights the strength and ability of the female body in both athletes and caregivers. Her crisp black-and-white images juxtapose the force and endurance required for various actions\, emphasizing the interdependence and mutual responsibility inherent in these roles. \nMore information: https://sma.sou.edu/exhibitions/pacing-photographs-by-dru-donovan-melanie-flood-and-tarrah-krajnak/ \nImage: Dru Donovan\, Liberty Pose\, 2017\, Video loop\, 35 x 57 inches\, courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Sunday Service: How We Say Goodbye: Thoughts on Death and Dying
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Owens is our guest speaker. He is a member of RVUUF and is a Chaplain at Providence Hospital in Medford. \n“The beauty and preciousness of life is intimately linked with its fragility and mortality. We can experience that every day — when we take a flower in our hands\, when we see a butterfly dance in the air\, when we caress a little baby. Fragility and giftedness are both there and our joy is connected with both.” -Henri Nouwen \n“Peace\, my heart\, let the time for the parting be sweet. Let it not be a death but completeness.\nLet love melt into memory and pain into songs. Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.\nLet the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night. Stand still\, O Beautiful End\, for a moment\,\nand say your last words in silence. I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light your way.”\n– a Poem by Rabindranath Tagore \nAttend in person or watch live or recorded on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@roguevalleyunitarianuniver8871

SUMMARY:Catherine Butterfield (former actress at OSF) talks about her novel The Serpent and the Rose
DESCRIPTION:The Serpent and the Rose is a captivating tale that skillfully weaves together historical\, dramatic and personal elements. Catherine Butterfield brings to life a fascinating period in French history and paints a complex and memorable portrait of Queen Marguerite de Valois. \nIn 16th century France\, Marguerite de Valois is growing up in one of Europe’s most dysfunctional families – the Medici clan. Their extreme inbreeding has led to an alarming number of genetic defects in France’s kings. Marguerite alone has escaped this curse. Uncharacteristically beautiful\, intelligent\, and sane\, she is seen as a useful pawn by her mother\, Catherine de Medici. In a scheme to unite the country during the raging religious wars\, the queen decides to marry her Catholic daughter to Protestant Henri\, Prince of Navarre\, a charming libertine. De Medici’s plan backfires\, however\, when the populace recoils at the union. Immediately following the wedding a key Huguenot figure is murdered\, which leads to the deaths of thousands of Huguenots in Paris\, slaughtered by their neighbors in what has come to be known as the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre. Henri barely escapes Paris with his life and Marguerite\, sequestered at court by order of de Medici\, finds herself a newlywed without a husband. \nAs an actress\, Catherine Butterfield spent her early career acting regionally (Seattle Rep\, Pittsburgh Public\, Long Wharf\, Oregon Shakespeare Festival are a few) and then started writing for the stage. Her first break as a playwright came with the Manhattan Theatre Club production of JOINED AT THE HEAD\, which she wrote and starred in\, leading to other productions of her plays in the city and the beginnings of her TV career. She has been a writer or writer/producer on the television programs “The Ghost Whisperer\,” “Grimm”\, “Party of Five\, and “FAME LA” and has done uncredited work on a number of feature films. Two of her short films\, “Faultless” and “Just Another Birthday in Bedlam\,” have won Telly awards\, a gold and a bronze for Best Remote Production. Her YouTube channel has a large number of the short films she shot during the pandemic under the heading “Life During Lockdown\,” as well as readings of a few of her plays. \n“The Serpent and the Rose” is Ms. Butterfield’s first novel. She lives in Santa Monica\, California.

SUMMARY:Barry Vitcov and Jennifer Rood read their Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Rood has been writing poems and stories since first grade\, when her teacher would set aside time for her to read her work to the class. After bringing her love of learning and literature to thousands of students over 30 years of teaching in Grants Pass schools\, she retired last summer in order to spend the fall of 2023 to write poetry as the Oregon Caves National Monument’s Artist in Residence. She is a past Board Member and President of the Oregon Poetry Association\, and her poetry appears in dozens of journals and anthologies. In 2023 she released What the Heart Says\, a chapbook collection of found poetry and art. Present and Speaking Everywhere (Not a Pipe Publishing\, 2024) is her first full-length collection. \nBarry Vitcov is a retired educator having spent 45 years as a middle school English teacher\, school administrator\, leadership coach\, and adjunct university professor. He lives in Ashland\, Oregon with his wife and exceptionally brilliant standard poodle. Finishing Line Press has published three of his books: a poetry collection Where I Live Some of the Time (2021)\, a collection of short stories The Wilbur Stories & More (2022)\, and a poetry chapbook Structures (2024). A novella The Boy with Six Fingers will be released by FLP in June 2025.
