Imagine your life without a smart phone—or for that matter any phone at all. What about no computer or internet connection? TV or radio? Time travel with Historic Jacksonville, Inc. back to 1900 for a “retro” tour of “Daily Life Then and Now: 1900 vs. 2026.” Guided 45-minute tours compare the differences in communication, fashion, etiquette, entertainment, chores, household “amenities,” and much more – things we take for granted like electricity, running water, and…bathrooms!
Tours begin every 20-30 minutes between 12n and 3pm at the 1870s C.C. Beekman House, located at 470 E. California Street in Jacksonville, Oregon. Tour admission is $8 (cash or check at the door). You’ll find more information at https://historicjacksonville.org/then-and-now/.
All proceeds go towards maintenance of Jacksonville’s historic buildings and the programs and events that bring them to life and make them relevant for people today.

“Karma” is one of the most common words we hear in the teachings of the Buddha -- and also a word that is easily misunderstood. H. E. Tai Situ Rinpoche said, “There are misunderstandings about karma. Many people think that karma is unchangeable. They say, ‘Oh, it’s karma,’ and then give up. But why does that happen?”

In this day-long teaching, Lama Pema will explore with you the genuine meaning of karma, the various types, and how deepening our understanding of karma can support changing and improving our lives. Through listening, reflecting, discussion and meditation, we will deeply explore this central and pivotal teaching of Buddhism.

“Bring your questions and curiosity. Hope to see you there.” Lama Pema

Registration recommended.
