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

Experience a late 1800s Christmas celebration when Historic Jacksonville, Inc. opens the 1870s Beekman House for Victorian Christmas tours. Located at 470 E. California Street and once home to the town’s wealthiest and most prominent pioneer family, the house is decorated for a 19th Century holiday. Victorian costumed docents will be sharing stories of festivities in the late 1800s along with the origins of popular Christmas traditions that settlers brought with them from all over the world. Find the good luck German pickle ornament on the Christmas tree. Steal a kiss under the mistletoe. Learn how holiday letters became Christmas cards. Hear how Santa’s appearance has changed over time. Sample one of Mrs. Beekman’s sugar cookies. One-hour tours begin every 20 minutes from 12n through 3pm.
