Dr. Ian Luepker is a naturopathic physician, holistic healer and classical homeopath, in private practice for 24 years. He worked on psychiatric units for 12 years and approaches health and well-being from a holistic perspective by recognizing the complex interplay between mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual suffering. By listening to his patients with compassion, care and respect, he takes a collaborative, preventive and integrative approach to supporting their self-led innate healing capacity.

Entheogenic experiences can widen circles that reach out across the world, into ourselves, our ancestral past, the future and beyond. They point toward what is meaningful in life and to that which we give ourselves. Through a holistic lens using case examples, I will explore the psycho-spiritual healing and meaning-making generated from these life-changing experiences.

The Oregon Trail computer game, first released in 1971, became almost ubiquitous in American schools by the 1980s. In this lecture, we'll go on the Trail to see how the game stacks up to the reality of the hundreds of thousands who emigrated west. What it gets right: A lot of people did die of dysentery. What it doesn't: You cannot get there faster by mashing the spacebar.

Charlie Zimmermann is a lifelong Oregon Trail aficionado. At age eight, they dressed as a pioneer for Halloween, and as a young adult, they earned the "Young OCTAn" award from the Oregon and California Trails Association. They graduated from Southern Oregon University in 2024 with a dual degree in history and political science with a minor in Native American Studies. They enjoy spending time with their cat Dassy, making rag rugs and other textile-based crafts, and teaching others about history.

The monthly Windows in Time lunchtime lectures feature well-known writers and historians and bring alive the people, values, and events that shaped our southern Oregon heritage. Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Southern Oregon Historical Society (SOHS) and Jackson County Library Services. Programs are presented in Medford (first Wednesdays, in-person and online) and again in Ashland (second Wednesdays, in-person). Registration is only required to attend the Zoom version of Medford's program. Recordings of Medford presentations are available on the JCLS Beyond YouTube channel

Casual meetings once a month (except December) to increase awareness of the work Community Works does for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking in Jackson County, Oregon, and to further the mission of Community Works. Each month we explore new subjects that are educational and offer opportunities for interesting discussion. Along with this, we have project ideas for helping to lift our clients and the community. Community Works is here to bring HOPE, SUPPORT, and EMPOWERMENT to those impacted by violence.

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.
