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

SUMMARY:Experimental-sound matinee in SOU Meese Auditorium with Ruehlen/Trejo Duo (Tucson) & Voodoo Krewe (Ashland)
DESCRIPTION:Tucson\, AZ-based experimental project Ruehlen/Trejo Duo will be on their latest west coast tour in January ’25. \nInterdisciplinary artists Cecyl Ruehlen & Chelsey Lee Trejo perform long-form compositions with expanded instruments focused around slowly unfolding harmonic variations\, alternative tunings\, and textural devotion that veers towards topos\, or landscape\, rather than song. \nRuehlen will be utilizing his latest hand made sound object\, a “hexachimeric drone” of resonating\, multimodal strings and voicings\, while Trejo works with a combination of custom crafted\, bowed metal objects\, synthesis\, and field recordings. Their collaboration grows out of the traditions and present-edge of drone musics that spiral across desert communities throughout the world. Both artists are central performers and event/venue programmers within the Tucson underground/experimental music scene\, working with a variety of collaborators and projects. \nVoodoo Krewe is an Ashland collective inspired by the diverse musical traditions of New Orleans\, including jazz\, funk\, soul\, rhythm and blues\, and more. Formed by drummer/bandleader Matt Fleming and bassist Christian Gonzalez\, both anchors of the rhythm section arrived in Southern Oregon after playing professionally in other cities (Matt in Los Angeles and New Orleans\, and Christian in Washington\, D.C.). The two bonded over their shared love for jazz\, neo-soul\, and the seminal D’Angelo album\, Voodoo. Joined by D.C. native Kent Hayward on saxophone\, the trio is excited to open the performance. \n$10 at the door (cash or Venmo)\, FREE with SOU student ID. \nParking Map (slightly dated): https://inside.sou.edu/…/SOU_Parking_Map_2017_1G.pdf

SUMMARY:Sunday Service: Boundaries\, Limits\, and Safeguards
DESCRIPTION:When Unitarian Universalists speak of being centered in Love\, what does that mean? How do we embody Love that protects the vulnerable\, demands justice\, and doesn’t surrender to bullies or the fear they spread? Rev. Sean explores ways we can strengthen our image of Love to include this kind of strength? \nMonthly Theme: Anger \n“When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable\, we feel used and mistreated. This is why we sometimes attack who they are\, which is far more hurtful than addressing a behavior or a choice.” ― Brené Brown\, The Gifts of Imperfection” \nAttend in person or watch live or recorded on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@roguevalleyunitarianuniver8871
