Kagyu Sukha Chöling’s 2026 Spring Auction is now live, featuring a diverse, community-curated collection of Dharma art, antiques, handmade goods, local services, rare collector’s items, and unique offerings from across the Rogue Valley and beyond.

This year’s auction includes traditional Himalayan and Buddhist artwork, vintage and historical pieces, artisan crafts, wellness offerings, and meaningful objects gathered through the generosity of community members and supporters of the dharma.

Whether you are a collector, art lover, practitioner, or simply curious to browse an unusual and beautifully assembled collection, the auction offers something for every level of interest and participation.

Proceeds support the ongoing activities and programs of Kagyu Sukha Chöling, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation center in Ashland dedicated to the study and practice of the Kagyu lineage.

Is your child going to be age 5 by September 1st? Then it is time to enroll for Kindergarten. Ashland School District enrollment is now open for the 2026-2027 school year.

Join us at Willow-Witt Ranch for The Crest’s 7th Annual Turtle Trot—a true trail race with heart (and breakfast)! Choose the 5K or 10K on rolling single-track through meadows, wetlands, oak woodlands, and native conifer forest, or bring the whole family for a joyful Fun Run for all ages.

Starting at 4,500’ and climbing to nearly 5,000’, the courses feature elevation, varied terrain, and sweeping views of Mount Shasta, Pilot Rock, and Mt. Ashland. The 10K doubles the challenge with a second lap run in reverse, ensuring you experience the views from every angle.

After the finish, stay for what many say is the best part: a communal, made-from-scratch post-race breakfast shared around long tables, followed by a hands-on Western Pond Turtle learning session. Run hard, eat well, linger and learn. All proceeds support The CREST in our mission to connect people and nature.

Wonderful things at wonderful prices.

Get a taste of the "old West" and Jacksonville's gold mining days when you step behind the counter of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest. The 1863 Beekman Bank Museum, located at 110 W. California Street in Jacksonville, saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters during the town’s heyday in the late 1800s—the equivalent of over $1.5 billion today. Interact with costumed docents sharing stories of late 19th Century banking practices, gold shipping, and handshake deals; step behind the counter and peer in drawers containing old checks, stage schedules, and paperwork; enter the vault that stored all those millions in gold!
Admission is FREE but donations are encouraged with all monies going towards the preservation and maintenance of this historic legacy!
