SUMMARY:Nathan Harris will be signing copies of his new novel Amity
DESCRIPTION:From the New York Times bestselling author of The Sweetness of Water comes a gripping story about a brother and sister\, emancipated from slavery but still searching for true freedom\, and their odyssey across the deserts of Mexico to escape a former master still intent on their bondage. \nNew Orleans\, 1866. The Civil War might be over\, but formerly enslaved Coleman and June have yet to find the freedom they’ve been promised. Two years ago\, the siblings were separated when their old master\, Mr. Harper\, took June away to Mexico\, where he hoped to escape the new reality of the postbellum South. Coleman stayed behind in Louisiana to serve the Harper family\, clinging to the hope that one day June would return. \nWhen an unexpected letter from Mr. Harper arrives\, summoning Coleman to Mexico\, Coleman thinks that finally his prayers have been answered. What Coleman cannot know is the tangled truth of June’s tribulations under Mr. Harper out on the frontier. And when disaster strikes Coleman’s journey\, he is forced on the run with Mr. Harper’s daughter\, Florence. Together\, they venture into the Mexican desert to find June\, all the while evading two crooked brothers who’ll stop at nothing to capture Coleman and Florence and collect the money they’re owed. As Coleman and June separately navigate a perilous\, parched landscape\, the siblings learn quickly that freedom isn’t always given–sometimes\, it must be taken by force. \nAs in his New York Times bestselling debut The Sweetness of Water\, Nathan Harris delves into the critical years of the Civil War’s aftermath to deliver an intimate and epic tale of what freedom means in a society still determined to return its Black citizens to bondage. Populated with unforgettable characters\, Amity is a vital addition to the literature of emancipation.

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:Peace Choir Invites New Members
DESCRIPTION:Studies have shown that singing in a choir builds a sense of belonging and joy\, and many individuals and organizations have learned that using music and song to raise awareness and support for positive changes can be effective and fulfilling for performers. \nIf you would like use your creative energy to sing for peace\, social justice\, and the environment\, you are invited to join the non-audition\, secular Rogue Valley Peace Choir (RVPC) as it begins its 2025-26 season in September. \nRegistration begins at 6 p.m. Thursday\, Sept. 4\, and the first rehearsal for the choir begins that evening at the First United Methodist Church\, 175 N. Main St.\, Ashland. \nRehearsals — from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursdays — will continue through mid-May 2026. \nThis season the choir\, now in its 23rd year\, will host other peace choirs from the region for a combined choir event at Southern Oregon University in February. The RVPC choir will also perform at a variety of venues: schools\, retirement homes\, art events\, fundraisers for social causes\, and community and holiday events throughout the year with the season culminating in mid-May concerts. \nThe choir’s 75-plus members are directed by Rob Griswell-Lowry and accompanied by Dr. Mikiko Petrucelli. The choir’s mission is to promote peace\, social justice and the well-being of our planet. \n“In the turmoil of division so common in our society today\, we seek to inspire unity and dialogue using music to spread the message of peace and community\,” says Griswell-Lowry. \nSongs for the choir’s repertoire are chosen by choir members themselves to express these themes in heart-felt and thoughtful ways. Rogue Valley Peace Choir members continue to be a part of the growing movement that recognizes how pro-actively and collectively we can make a difference on many fronts: we can shed light on injustice\, we can support an end to wars\, and we can take care of our Earth and each other when we work together. \nThe upcoming season’s songs span a variety of genres\, including songs by Joni Mitchell\, Sly Stone\, Brian Tate\, Seth Houston\, and an original composition by a choir member. \nSee more about the choir and its staff at http://roguevalleypeacechoir.org.

SUMMARY:Ashland’s First Friday Empanada Throwdown
DESCRIPTION:We noticed that a lot of places in Ashland do something cool for First Friday. So\, sure\, we’ll be followers this time. We’re calling it First Friday Flights!

Here’s the deal: \nFreshly made local empanadas from Caba Empanadas \nLight summer wines from Resistance Wine Co (that’s us!) \nYou could pretty much hang out all day if you want.

Also\, we have some art so you don’t just have to look at that weird friend you invited… But\, still\, bring your friends. \n$20.00 Wine tastings + whatever an empanada cost in 2024. \nRSVPs are greatly appreciated!
