SUMMARY:Rogue Valley Men’s Circle Fire Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Weekly: A weekly Men’s Circle Fire Ceremony on Monday nights from 6:30-8:30 pm around the fire at the Island Fire Pit in scenic Lithia Park in Ashland\, Oregon. \nWhat could be more natural than gathering around the fire and talking about the challenges of being a man and/or assuming masculine roles in our current culture? \nCeremony: This Men’s Circle is conducted as a shamanic ceremony to establish connection and community. It is compatible with any religious and spiritual beliefs. We offer intentions\, smudge with sage\, and release things into the fire. A weekly theme such as “confidence” or “purpose” is introduced. \nTalking Stick and Fire Ceremony: A talking stick is passed to speak your truth on this topic and things coming up in your life. The Men’s Circle will be conducted as a fire ceremony as long as we are allowed to build fires this year. After this time\, a new form of ceremony will be considered to continue the Men’s Circle. \nInclusive: This ceremony is for anyone looking to awaken and integrate dynamic masculine energy and roles. This includes all gender identities and sexual orientations. \nDrug and alcohol-free: This form of ceremony does not utilize plant medicine or psychedelics. Please do not be under the influence of any drugs or alcohol during this ceremony. \nAge: This ceremony is for ages 18 and older. \nFacilitator: This ceremony is conducted by Michael Hoffman\, LCSW. He is a licensed psychotherapist and spiritual coach. He trained with a spiritual teacher/shaman for 22 years and offered psychotherapy and relationship counseling for the past 28 years. Michael’s role and responsibility as the facilitator is to ensure that the ceremony is emotionally safe. Judgment and criticism will be stopped. He will also encourage you to venture deeper into your dynamic masculine energy. \nDirections: The ceremony is at the Island Fire Pit in Ashland’s scenic Lithia Park. It is just south (away from downtown) of the Parks Office between the Cotton Memorial and Hillside on a small island in Ashland Creek. There is a parking area off Granite St. \nYou can just show up or register at https://www.naturalwayofbeing.com/rogue-valley-men’s-circle-ceremony. You can also get more information on this webpage. \nCost: The suggested donation is $15 per circle. You can pay at the ceremony with cash or Venmo.

SUMMARY:Karen Spears Zacharias discusses her novel No Perfect Mothers – a fictional take on 1920s SCOTUS case re: Reproductive Rights
DESCRIPTION:While 1920s Charlottesville\, Virginia\, is a charming place to grow up\, there’s one thing Carrie Buck doesn’t like about her hometown–her home. \nTaken from her mother\, Carrie is put up for fostering as a toddler. At age ten\, Carrie is forced to leave school to work as a domestic. But when Carrie turns up pregnant at seventeen\, it is Miss Mora\, a Scottish immigrant and Charlottesville’s most competent midwife\, who she turns to. Fearing their nephew’s assault of Carrie will be discovered\, Carrie’s foster parents claim custody of her infant daughter and fraudulently commit her to the Virginia Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded. Dr. Priddy\, the colony’s superintendent\, deceptively labels Carrie an imbecile\, unfit to bear children. In pursuit of a legal argument granting states the right to forcibly sterilize individuals\, he exploits her. NO PERFECT MOTHERS explores characters\, historical and imagined\, who were parties to the infamous Buck v. Bell U.S. Supreme Court case of 1927. \n“Anything may happen when womanhood has ceased to be a protected occupation” Virginia Woolf \nhttps://www.salon.com/2024/02/26/the-case-of-carrie-buck-and-the-courts-century-old-crusade-to-control-women/
