Going, Going, GONE...Vanishing Glaciers in the Deschutes Basin
2021-04-01 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
Oregon’s glaciers are the natural water reservoirs of the high Cascade water towers. Glacier meltwater sustains rivers during the late summer and fall for flora, fauna and irrigation. The glacier melt chills streams for salmon and trout, with the attendant effect of cooling surrounding forests that reduces fire risk and intensity. In short, glaciers are an integral part of Central Oregon ecosystems and economies.
And yet, we do not know how many glaciers remain today in the basin, let alone how many existed a century ago. In this talk, Dr. Anders Carlson will present on the Oregon Glacier Institute’s findings from the first census of glaciers in Oregon since the 1950s. We will examine how these glacier changes are related to regional climate change, concluding the discussion on what the future holds for the remaining glaciers in the Deschutes Basin.

Let's Talk About Rural Food Security with Jillian Hishaw
2021-04-08 18:00 - 19:00 | Online
Why can’t farmers and farm workers afford to put food on the table? How do the very people that grow our food go hungry? High Desert Food and Farm Alliance is honored to welcome Jillian Hishaw to the (virtual) stage as she talks about the work she is doing in farming communities to reduce rates of food insecurity. Rural hunger is often a forgotten topic of focus in farming communities. According to the USDA, 84% of U.S. counties with the highest percentage of childhood hunger are rural. Through F.A.R.M.S., Hishaw has focused on procuring and donating produce in rural farming communities over the past eight years. Over one million pounds of produce have been donated in and outside of the US. The importance of infrastructure in rural communities and communal resolutions are essential to rural America’s revitalization.
Funding for this event is provided through a USDA Community Food Projects (CFP) grant.

Spirit of the Enneagram
2021-04-16 09:00 - 2021-04-17 16:30 | Online
Spirit of the Enneagram: Introduction to a Sacred Psychology
The Enneagram is a remarkable tool for psychological and spiritual growth. This ancient wisdom tradition offers clinical insight that explains why we behave in the way that we do by uncovering our unconscious motivations and deeply rooted influences. The lessons of the Enneagram are not learned by studying books or concepts, but through an elegant process called the oral tradition. It is only from sharing and hearing the stories of others, that your personal life ‘script’ is revealed.
The Spirit of the Enneagram Workshop Includes:
A two-day online workshop that explores the nine personality types of the Enneagram.
A highly interactive program where participants explore not only their own personality, but gain profound curiosity and respect for each of the nine “faces of god”.
Location: Online
Dates: 4/16 & 4/17, 9:00am – 4:30pm
Fee: $250

“Earth+Feather” features uplifting mixed media paintings and paper mache sculpture by Shelli Walters, opening May 7, with an artists reception from 4-7pm. With an accent on birds, this new work emerges from Shelli’s love for the Earth and wild creatures. “Animals hold such wisdom and the landscape such mystery. I enjoy expressing this connection in my art and sharing the sense of oneness and wonder I find in nature.”
Shelli shares her love of the natural world, with layers upon layers of thoughts, stories, experiences, moods — shifting one over the other — sometimes revealing a hint of what is underneath. This has become Shelli’s signature voice and style. Alternating layers of acrylic paint and collage, creating richly textured and colorful pieces that invite you to look closer and discover your own story.
