New Day Breakfast at the Bellevue Grange in Ashland

Topic and presentation: Friday, October 21st 8:00-9:30 am

New Spirit Village is a nationally significant pilot project addressing the affordable housing crisis. Kathryn and Barry Thalden will walk us through this charming neighborhood of 87 homes, which will begin construction this fall in Medford. The not-for-profit development utilizes revolutionary ideas and new technology (including 3-D concrete printed walls) to address the concerns of fire, inadequate low-cost housing, and multigenerational financial inequity, providing the opportunity to change people lives by creating a safe, attractive, livable, and stable community.

Southern Oregon PBS documentary filmmakers have had to Embrace the Wild in television shows like Energy Horizons, Us as We Are, Jim on The Trail, and Southern Oregon Responds.

Keegan Van Hook, Tripp White, and Jeff LeBeau would like to share their experiences, behind-the-scenes learnings, and demonstrate how they adapt and engage with people, places, and communities “out in the wild.”

This 1-hour SOPBS filmmaker workshop will be part panel discussion, film clips, and equipment demo on how they capture great stories in various communities across our beautiful region.

Calm Abiding Meditation
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.

“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.”

From Meditation for Beginners, by Bokar Rinpoche.

Ever wanted to be a scientist without the lab coat or PhD? Now’s your chance. The North Bend Public Library invites you to a fascinating lecture on Thursday, July 31 at 6:00 PM presented by Dr. Aaron Coyner, physicist and NASA Solar System Ambassador, on the Gamification of Science. In this thought-provoking talk, Dr. Coyner will explore the exciting world of citizen science—where anyone with a smartphone, a notebook, or a game controller can help solve real-world scientific problems. From tracking rainfall in your backyard, to helping AI learn how to identify cancer cells, to testing video games designed to slow the effects of dementia, everyday people are stepping into the world of science in fun and meaningful ways. Its science made social, hands-on, and sometimes even a little competitive. Come learn how gamification—the use of game-like elements in non-game settings—is being used to expand the boundaries of scientific research and engage new communities in discovery.
