Casual meetings once a month (except December) to increase awareness of the work Community Works does for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking in Jackson County, Oregon, and to further the mission of Community Works. Each month we explore new subjects that are educational and offer opportunities for interesting discussion. Along with this, we have project ideas for helping to lift our clients and the community. Community Works is here to bring HOPE, SUPPORT, and EMPOWERMENT to those impacted by violence.

We are a Zen practice community in the Diamond Sangha lineage founded by Robert Aitken Rōshi. We provide zazen(meditation) instruction, weekly zazen, practice talks, Dharma discussions and more.

Thursdays 6:00 - 7:00 pm
In-person and via Zoom
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.

Join us as esteemed moderator Mary N. Miller, professional mediator and trainer of more than 30 years as we explore:
• why are political differences with those we care about, so challenging?
• using questions of curiosity
• the skill of when and how to pivot
• speaking more effectively using the five elements of the voice
• strategies for pausing or leaving the conversation while taking action to strengthen the relationship.

The most viewed film on Netflix when it debuted last month, "A House of Dynamite" depicts in realistic detail what would happen if our warning systems detected a single nuclear-armed missile launched by an unknown adversary heading toward Chicago. This scenario isn’t far-fetched. Each day there is some likelihood that, by accident or by intention, one of the nine countries possessing nuclear weapons and the missile systems to deliver them will launch an attack. Such an attack will probably be the start of the end of human life.
With the last remaining bi-lateral treaty between the U.S. and Russia—the New START Treaty—set to expire on February 5, 2026, the risk of a renewed offensive nuclear arms race and thus of a nuclear holocaust will increase dramatically unless something is done. Screening the film is one way Peace House is trying to motivate people in our area to take action.

John Craigie

John Craigie has mastered the art of creating live shows that feel more like intimate conversations than performances. Infusing humor, wit, and poignant storytelling, his shows are a space where audience members feel like old friends. Whether he's headlining solo or sharing the stage with longtime collaborators, Craigie’s ability to make his crowd laugh, reflect, and connect is second to none. As he prepares to release Greatest Hits... Just Kidding... Live - No Hits, his latest live album captures the warmth and spontaneity of these memorable nights.

The Coffis Brothers

With two songwriters, six albums, and more than a thousand shows under their belt, The Coffis Brothers have earned their reputation as modern-day torchbearers of all-American rock & roll. It's a sound caught halfway between amplified Americana, acoustic folk, roadhouse R&B, and electrifying roots music, crafted by a pair of California-born siblings who've been sharing the stage since childhood, and the five piece band filled out by their childhood friend, Kyle Poppen on lead guitar, and the rhythm section of Aidan Collins (bass), and Cory Graves (drums).
