Bid for climate action at Rogue Climate's Online Auction fundraiser! Every bid you place powers grassroots climate justice right here in the Rogue Valley and South Coast. When you win an item, you’re not just taking home something great—you’re powering community-led organizing, protecting our environment, and standing up for our neighbors. There's something for everyone: local art, food, experiences, vacation stays across Oregon and more.

Rogue Climate organizes for climate justice with Southern Oregon and South Coast communities most impacted by climate change —including low-income, rural, youth, seniors, and communities of color. Learn more about our work at www.RogueClimate.org or on instagram @RogueClimate.

Join the Mount Shasta Mycological Society for our first annual Fall Fungus Fair at the McCloud Dance Hall. This community event celebrates the fungi of the Mount Shasta region through mushroom displays, educational talks, hands-on workshops, vendors, and more.
Guest speakers will share their knowledge on various aspects of mushrooms and mycology, while workshops will explore practical uses of fungi, including cooking with mushrooms and using mushroom-derived dyes to color fabrics.
Whether you're an experienced mushroom hunter or simply curious about the fungal world, the Fall Fungus Fair is an opportunity to learn, connect with others, and discover the incredible diversity of fungi found in our region.

Do you like to dance? Do you enjoy social activities that include movement and live music? Then Contra Dance is for you! And if you have interest not only in dancing, but also in helping other folks to learn, or possibly starting a dance in your own area, then this upcoming Callers' Workshop is for you!

Stacy Rose is not only an experienced contra and square dance caller, musician, and international folk dancer, she also is experienced in teaching others how to call contras, squares, and other forms of folk dance. We are extremely lucky that she has agreed to come to Scott Valley the first weekend of November to provide this workshop. If you are interested, contact me to sign up!

We also will need folks to come and dance on the evening of November 8th, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., so that folks who have taken the workshop and are eager to start practicing their new skills will have an opportunity to do so. Please plan to attend, to support the new callers!

Join Southern Oregon Repertory Singers for an unforgettable set of concerts this November that will feature the beauty and fragility of life and the wonder of the natural world. These themes are explored in a concert of “big-heart” music highlighted by Johannes Brahms’ lush, mini-masterpiece, “Nänie”; Latvian sensation, Ēriks Ešenvalds’ evocative “Northern Lights” for choir and tuned water glasses; Lucy Walker’s lyrical setting of Sara Teasdale’s anti-war poem, “There will come soft rains”; crossover music by Dolly Parton and Jacob Collier; and Jodi French’s poignant “Life has loveliness to sell”, which sets Sara Teasdale’s lovely poem “Barter” reminding us that beauty is all around, and exhorting all to: “Spend all you have for loveliness, buy it and never count the cost… and for a breath of ecstasy, give all you have been, or could be.”

We offer:
Free parking in Lot #36 across from the SOU Music Building
Pre-concert lectures 1 hour prior to performances.
ADA Seating & assisted listening devices available upon request.
Printed programs.

Vrnda is a CIYT Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher
Yoga Alliance 500 hours
Developed by BKS Iyengar, Restorative Yoga Supports the body in various postures and has a soothing, yet powerful physiological affect; it promotes a “relaxation response” in the nervous system and counteracts the negative forces of a “fight or flight” response on the immune system. Extended stays in postures that stretch and tone the internal organs activates internal cleansing and those that invert the body, increase functioning of the glandular system. By resting the bones that usually bear weight, and releasing the muscles that move us into action, the “undoing” quality with this therapeutic type of yoga is rejuvenating for body, mind, heart and spirit.
“Relaxation begins from the outer layers of the body and penetrates the deep layers of our existence.” BKS Iyengar
