Community Calendar

Rogue Valley Growers and Crafters Market is a richly woven tapestry of farmers, ranchers, crafters, food processors, board and staff dedicated to the land at-large and our beautiful valley community in particular.

We're dedicated to putting our utmost effort and passion into the soil and food that sustains you. Through hard work and innovative practices, we strive to provide the best. During the outdoor season, we host up to three markets a week for the best access to the incredible bounty our bioregion has to offer.

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.

To attend Calm Abiding Meditation via Zoom, email the office at OFFICE@KSCASHLAND.ORG to join the mailing list.

Join Liquid Lounge, Bisky Pop Productions and a strong monthly rotation of comedians from far and wide as they perform stand up comedy every third Thursday.

The North Bend Public Library is excited to announce its first-ever Battle of the Jigsaw Puzzlers on Saturday, November 22, from 1:00–5:00 PM.

The event will feature three competition sessions starting at 1:10 PM, 2:30 PM, and 3:50 PM.

The team with the fastest overall time across all three rounds will earn the grand prize: a custom t-shirt featuring the 2025 Summer Reading theme and a set of all three competition puzzles. Space is limited, and registration is required. For a complete list of rules and to register your team, go to the North Bend Public Library' website.

These small gatherings are for those who practice or would like to learn about Christian contemplative, or mystical, spirituality. The meetings are open to the public, educational, supportive, and non-dogmatic, but we are currently meeting in the Ashland Public Library's Guanajuato Room, which has limited space. (Disclaimer: These meetings are neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Ashland Public Library.) Please arrive on time to have the doors at the rear of the building unlocked; the library will not yet be open. —Fr. Scott Carter
