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.

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.

"Maturing Our Relationship to Technology" explores how our digital tools—especially in the age of AI—are reshaping humanity, often at great cost. We’ll examine how our naive engagement with tech fuels distraction, despair, and disconnection. I am interested in asking the question what does it take to collectively cultivate the love and wisdom needed to be responsible stewards of this ‘godlike technology’, AI?

We need to reclaim attentional sovereignty and ask what it takes to steward our creations with wisdom and love. From smartphones to social media, we’ll unpack the hidden toll of modern tech—and offer pathways toward balance, resilience, and a more humane, harmonious civilization.

We have celebrated many conservation successes in the past year that we’re excited to share with you. We are also facing a challenging political climate for ongoing conservation efforts, so your attendance, and consequentially your support, will strengthen our work to keep our efforts strong for the next few years.
