SUMMARY:Launch of the Ashland Sunrise Project
DESCRIPTION:This event will kick-off the launch of the Sunrise Project in Ashland. \nThe Sunrise Project aims to help former sundown towns reconcile their history of racial exclusion by creating new identities as that of “sunrise communities\,” the opposite to sundown towns. After starting in Grants Pass\, the Oregon Remembrance Project is now working with community members in Ashland to bring this vision of belonging for all to our community. Learn more about the project and how you can join us in rewriting the ending to the story of a sundown town. \nFeatured speakers include Taylor Stewart (Oregon Remembrance Project)\, Gabi Johnsen (Grants Pass Remembrance)\, & Anna Sloan (Southern Oregon Historical Society). \nAshland Sunrise Project is an Ashland Together Initiative in partnership with Oregon Remembrance Project. We thank the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for venue support for this event. \nPlease RSVP on the website.

With nine years of advanced academic degrees and over 30 years of apprenticeship with indigenous elders\, Norma brings a rare level of expertise in guiding the exploration of the subconscious Dreamtime. \nNisha Burton is a skilled dream worker\, filmmaker\, technologist\, and digital artist\, trained in the art of journeying into the deep subconscious from a young age.

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.

SUMMARY:An International City of Peace: Ashland\, Oregon's Impact by David Wick
DESCRIPTION:With the guidance of the Ashland Culture of Peace Commission\, the Ashland\, Oregon City Council joined the International Cities of Peace (ICP) on May 16\, 2017\, with a proclamation identifying Ashland as a City of Peace. Ashland was the 164th City of Peace of the current 399 cities globally. There are only two International Cities of Peace in the world that have a World Peace Flame\, and Ashland is one of them. \nVery quickly\, Ashland was seen as an emerging ICP model with its strong and extensive community base and innovative actions. Ashland has been acknowledged as such globally. We installed the World Peace Flame in 2018 which was followed the next year by the Ashland Global Peace Conference attended by UN Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury.\nThe goals of an International City of Peace are encouraging a local and global culture of peace through safety\, prosperity\, and quality of life. \nCurrent actions include:\n• Mayor Graham acknowledged Ashland as a City of Peace\, City Council\, December 5\, 2023.\n• The World Peace Flame is a perpetual beacon of hope\, peace\, and resilience for Ashland\, Oregon\, the United States\, and internationally.\n• Derry-Londonderry\, Northern Ireland\, the only other city with a World Peace Flame\, joined ICP on 9/21/2023\, a major milestone after years of bloody warfare. Ashland and Derry Londonderry\, Ireland are developing a special City of Peace relationship initially focused on young people engaged in climate change\, music\, and song.\n• Plans for establishing beneficial relationships between International Cities of Peace and businesses and corporations through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are being developed. \nLearning objectives in this presentation:\n• Learn about the role and impact of Ashland as an International City of Peace.\n• Identify and discuss your action ideas for Ashland as a City of Peace. \nDAVID WICK has over 30 years of executive and management training and organizational development consulting experience and has held important positions within Sun Microsystems\, Stanford University\, Levi Strauss\, and the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). \nHe has designed extensive international training programs and has received accolades in both the business and peacebuilding arenas. \nAfter working in the NGO peacebuilding arena since 1980 and helping to develop the early days of the International Day of Peace in civil society\, David co-founded the Ashland Culture of Peace Commission (ACPC) with Irene Kai on September 21\, 2015. The mission of ACPC is to provide leadership and guidance for Ashland as a City of Peace dedicated to transforming our attitudes\, behaviors\, and institutions into ones that foster harmonious relationships with each other and the natural world. This is accomplished by engaging leading local and global people\, resources\, and information to inspire\, activate\, and model a Culture of Peace in Ashland\, Oregon. \nDavid’s peacebuilding leadership has grown to include the following: Executive Director\, Ashland Culture of Peace Commission\, CSR Facilitator\, International Cities of Peace\, Past President\, Rotary E-Club of World Peace\, and President\, Pathways To Peace. \nPresenter’s Websites: www.AshlandCPC.org • www.InternationalCitiesOfPeace.org \nFREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St.\, Ashland\, OR.

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.

SUMMARY:Sunday Service: All Are Welcome?
DESCRIPTION:Do we really welcome everyone? Can you believe anything you want and be part of a UU congregation? What are the boundaries that preserve the safety and wellbeing of all? \n“We may feel scared to admit that\, in fact\, not ‘all are welcome’ in our churches. Because once you take a clear stand on something\, others will disagree; they may attack. But we are a strong people. We have resources to help us respond to such attacks with grace\, wisdom\, and compassion. We have the resources to say\, with respect\, ‘You are welcome to your beliefs and behaviors. Now please take them outside the threshold of our church.'”  – Darcy Baxter\, in the UU World Magazine \nAttend in person or watch live or recorded on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@roguevalleyunitarianuniver8871
