Share your thoughts, ask questions, and be part of the discussion that will influence Ashland鈥檚 parks, trails, and recreation spaces for years to come.

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.

鈥淔rom 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.鈥�

From Meditation for Beginners, by Bokar Rinpoche.

Parent Project is a 10-week series where we go over topics like improving family relationships, using effective discipline to improve school attendance and performance, reduce substance use and negative peer influences, and how to address destructive behavior. It is an opportunity to meet with other parents in similar situations in a judgement free zone and begin to develop a new support system. When you feel like you have tried everything and nothing is working, we can help.

Fortuna Teen Court will be hosting this 10-week series at the Gene Lucas Community Center (3000 Newburg Rd) in Fortuna. Classes will begin 03/18/2025 and be held every Tuesday from 6-8pm. The final class will be on 05/27/25.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the application on our website https://bgcredwoods.org/fortuna-teen-court/, give us a call at 707-617-8160, or email us at fortunatc@bgcredwoods.org.

We look forward to seeing you in class!

The North Bend Public Library will host Dr. Aaron Coyner for a Planetarium Show on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22nd. SWOCC will provide their portable planetarium for the show, which is entitled "Jupiter's Ice-Encased Moon, Europa." Europa is the fourth largest of Jupiter's moons and the sixth closest. It has an icy crust that scientists think may be 10 to 15 miles thick and hides a global ocean of salty water below. Attendees to the Planetarium Show will experience an up-close view of Europa and learn more about its frozen world. The drop-in planetarium show will begin every 30 minutes with the last one starting at 8:00 PM. Space in the planetarium is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
