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.

This Halloween season, dare to enter the eerie world of Sleepy Hollow. Back by popular demand, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is Ballet Fantastique’s wickedly funny dance-theater twist on one of the world’s most iconic ghost stories.
This immersive dance theater spin on Washington Irving’s 1820 classic follows would-be hero Ichabod Crane as he faces off against his fears—and the infamous Headless Horseman—in pursuit of fame, fortune, and romance. Venture to eerie Sleepy Hollow—a secret town hidden in the shadowy fall woods, where rumors of ghosts and goblins roam.
Set to a live, genre-bending score for electric fiddle and guitar played by Dréos with Gerry Rempel Ensemble, Sleepy Hollow fuses early American folklore with BFan’s signature wit, whimsy, and Emmy®-nominated theatrical storytelling.
Filled with thrills, laughs, and superstitious mischief, your favorite Halloween experience is back.

Live music: Dréos & Gerry Rempel Ensemble play decadent, playful new rock and world music- infused versions of classics, plus new work created just for BFan.

Three brand-new haunted houses (The Silver Scream, Forbidden Fortress, Slayers) anchor a full-blown festival of fear on select nights Oct 3 – Nov 1, 2025. After you claw your way out of the mazes, challenge the Carn-Evil Funhouse, brave the pitch-black Complex: Blackout, loose arrows at Zombie Archery, or cram into one of three mini escape games (Bus 666, Trap House, The Hot Seat). Midway lights stay blazing with Oaks Park thrill rides, a haunted vendor market, coffin-ride “Buried Alive,” food, bars, and roaming monsters—all covered by one grounds pass. 1,000-plus five-star reviews can’t all be wrong.

• Hours & place: 7805 SE Oaks Park Way, Portland, OR 97202—free parking right on the riverfront midway. Gates and rides open one hour before haunt time.
• Tickets: Online General Admission from $23–$40 (prices rise closer to Halloween). Add VIP, All-Access, or ride bracelets at checkout to slash waits and pack in more screams.
• Who should come: Intense scares—best for ages 12+. Event runs rain-or-shine under ample cover. Costumes welcome (no full masks/props).

Introduction to Zentangle with Joann Cleckner
Friday October 24, 1–3pm
All skill levels welcome. Materials provided.

Let’s tangle! Zentangle comes from the word “Zen” and “tangle” (entangled, interwoven) and combines creativity with meditation. Stroke by stroke, simple lines are repeated onto paper. Zentangle is an easy method to learn because it consists of structured patterns. With every line, you can dive further into the world of tangles. In a short time, tangles turn into amazing 3D, graphic, elaborate, beautiful tiles. They are unplanned, abstract, and black and white. All proceeds of this class will be donated to Rogue Gallery and Art Center.

Members: $30 Non-Members: $40
