DESCRIPTION:WORDS 2 WORDS is gloriously inventive.

This is truly her autobiography\, the sexual confessions of a poet and a wordmonger.

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:The Side Door: Rethinking Equity in a White Community
DESCRIPTION:Ashland is often celebrated as idyllic—a place where many people move to enjoy its beauty and charm. But in a community that is predominantly white\, does focusing on racial equity feel like a priority\, especially with pressing economic\, social\, and climate challenges? It’s a fair question—and for many\, the answer might be\, “Yes\, I care\, but it’s not something I focus on regularly.” \nBut what if there’s another way to think about it? If “the front door” represents traditional equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI) work\, what if there was a “side door” that proved more effective—one that doesn’t exclude understanding the history of where we are? \nJoin Ashland Together team members Gina DuQuenne\, Hillary Larson and Harriet Watson for a lively and engaging discussion that might make you think outside the box when it comes to where we all live.
