Drawing on the knowledge she has gained through decades of study and practice, she enlightens and uplifts all whom study and travel with her. In the late '80s, Nicki founded Shamanic Journeys, Ltd., and has been guiding inner journeys and spiritual pilgrimages to Egypt, Peru, Greece, and other sacred sites. Nicki lives in Eugene, Oregon, where she maintains a comprehensive healing and shamanic consulting practice. She welcomes you to study with her at her beautiful garden center.

Facilitators' Biographies:
JAELLE DRAGOMIR currently teaches writing, public speaking and spirituality courses at Southern Oregon University. Prior to coming to Ashland in the summer of 2004, she was on staff for the Kucinich Presidential Campaign, organizing in Iowa, Wisconsin, Florida and Oregon. Before blazing the campaign trail, Jaelle taught Communication courses and worked for human rights in a variety of arenas across the US and in Nepal.

DOMINIC ALLAMANO is a passionate and potent voice of the emerging visionary generation, inspiring others to shine their light brightly by boldly and humbly shining his. Since his late teens, when he began to see clearly following life altering physical trauma, he has focused his energies in two interrelated realms. The first is the realms of experiential education and explorations of the embodiment of consciousness, while the second is in a deep exploration of the sociological and systemic elements of the dominant world culture. The merging of these two realms has allowed him to perceive many of the key patterns and dynamics that define today's world and hold the promise for tomorrow's.
He feels called to be as a midwife to the emerging culture, assisting both in its birth and development as well as in the navigation of the unforeseen consequences of humanity's past choices, which are defining the context for that emergence. Through extensive travels and speaking around the Pacific Northwest he has aligned with an inspired network of allies with whom he is crafting new paradigm networks and tools like the WorldCrafter's Network ( http://www.worldcrafters.org) and CultureSeed ( http://www.cultureseed.org) to support the emergence of this new culture.

Special Encore Presentation: At Risk- Ashland's Water
("THIRST" Documentary Video and Discussion)
Hosted by Art Bullock, AshlandConstitution.org
Admission: $5.00 - $20.00 suggested contribution, no one turned away.
Event Description:
The highly acclaimed documentary Thirst shows what happens when cities privatize their water supply or water works. Thirst tells the stories of Cochabamba, Bolivia and Stockton, California, asking the key question: Is water a human right, or a commodity to be bought and sold in the global marketplace?
A handful of multinational corporations are buying water systems worldwide as a business strategy. Cities pressed for revenue sell their water systems and transfer management and/or control of municipal water to these corporations. This informative movie shows the politics and power of water. It will change how you think about water and city government.
We'll explore how these dynamics affect Ashland following the video.
More information: http://www.AshlandConstitution.org and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OfThePeople
Video Description:
Is water part of a shared "commons", a human right for all people? Or is it a commodity to be bought, sold, and traded in a global marketplace? THIRST tells the stories of communities in Bolivia, India, and the United States that are asking these fundamental questions, as water becomes the most valuable global resource of the 21st Century.
A character-driven documentary with no narration, THIRST reveals how the debate over water rights between communities and corporations can serve as a catalyst for explosive and steadfast resistance to globalization.

Reviews:
"THIRST is a provocative portrayal in stark human terms of current battles over water privatization. Communities rise in protest; corporate interests seem to turn a deaf ear. Can there be a middle ground? THIRST provides a passionate jumping off point for a debate that is just beginning." Tom Graff, Environmental Defense
"THIRST brilliantly dramatizes a potential threat of great enormity. A careful and deeply disturbing film about the threat to human safety and survival worldwide by corporate attempts to privatize the earth's water supplies." Norris Hundley, author, The Great Thirst and Professor Emeritus of History, UCLA
"A moving and inspiring film about one of the biggest water issues of our day...it sounds a clarion call for citizens and governments to reaffirm that water is a public trust, not a commodity to be exploited for private profit. I hope THIRST is viewed widely, discussed at town meetings and in legislative debates, and that it energizes citizen involvement in water decisions. A powerful -- and needed -- film." Sandra Postel, Director, Global Water Policy Project
"Do you know who controls your water? You'd better find out. As this powerful film shows, it may already be a private corporation run from afar. THIRST challenges apathy and ignorance about our most precious resource and shows how every citizen's voice can, indeed must, make a difference. See this film, and be inspired to act." Peter H. Gleick, 2003 MacArthur Fellow and author, The World's Water
"THIRST is a remarkable film. The looming freshwater crisis is the greatest environmental and human rights crisis of our time. Not surprisingly, the move is on by powerful corporations and governments to commodify and cartelize the world's water supplies for power and profit. THIRST is the story of this assault and the fight to stop it." Maude Barlow, National Chair, Council of Canadians and Co-author, with Tony Clarke, Blue Gold, The Fight to Stop Corporate Theft of the World's Water
"Beautiful and engaging..." Carl Pope, Sierra Club Executive Director
"THIRST is an important and timely film, and vividly illustrates the human costs of commodifying a most basic human right -- water. From women in India struggling to care for their families in the absence of fresh water and adequate sanitation to the people of Stockton, California, fighting to maintain control over their water resources, THIRST tells a powerful story of resistance and survival." California State Senator Liz Figueroa (D, Fremont) Chair, Select Committee on International Trade Policy Chair
"THIRST beautifully shows how the labor movement can work closely with community groups and the environmental movement to defend public jobs and the public trust. Struggles for control of water could become the focus for creative new coalitions to reverse the tide of privatization." Peter Olney, Institute for Labor and Employment, University of California
"THIRST is a transformative experience. As patrons left the theater, it was clear that the entertainment they had witnessed had progressed to education, visual beauty to substantive understanding. They had been fulfilled and motivated, their minds engaged and expanded. Despite the fact that the issues raised often inflame the passions, audience members felt they had grown without rancor, moved forward without leaving any players or arguments behind." Professor Robert Benedetti, Executive Director, Jacoby Center for Regional and Community Studies, University of the Pacific
"THIRST documents how power, politics and money all combine in the raging international debate about water policy. The underlying issues of community versus corporate control are remarkably similar whether in India or the United States. The control of water may be responsible for more political, economic and even military clashes in the 21st century than was oil in the 20th." Congressman George Miller (D-7, California) Former Chair, House Committee on Natural Resources
"Surprisingly captivating...unlike so many other documentaries about multinationals -- documentaries that tend to be overbearingly supercilious and contemptuous -- THIRST simply lets the story tell itself...THIRST is like a message in a bottle sent from the future. It tells the beginning of what could be one of the major political and economic issues to shape the next century. Don't say they didn't warn you." Phil Busse--The Portland Mercury
"THIRST gives you dry mouth." Matthew Hirsch, San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Another smart bottom-to-top take on complexly related racial, economic, legislative, and individual issues. The crux here: can water access remain 'part of the global commons' everyone should have free access to, or is it doomed to become an economic commodity bought and sold like any other?...This important and engrossing film provides a spur to activism that no one should ignore, unless they're rich enough in obliviousness to propose, 'Let them drink sake.'" Dennis Harvey, San Francisco Bay Guardian
"By showing how activists in Stockton, Cochabamba and India are all...thinking globally but acting locally, Snitow and Kaufman give us a provocative look at the current and coming water wars...After seeing THIRST it will be hard to ever take water for granted." Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle
"A groundbreaking and provocative new film about the rush to privatize what the filmmakers rightly define as the very essence of life." Silja J.A. Talvi, AlterNet
"THIRST insightfully and thoroughly explores the contentious issues surrounding water privatization, showing us that it's not merely a Third World concern but a dark and growing trend right here in our own backyard." Shannon Abel, HOT DOCS Canadian International Documentary Festival
"A compelling study of corporate greed, exploitation of the disadvantaged, and volatile uprising among civic-minded protestors demanding equal voice in a controversial issue...A valuable tool for awareness and activism, especially in water rich communities that could become the next battleground for the public's right to water, THIRST deserves to be seen by all who drink, flush, and cook with life's most essential element. Highly recommended." Video Librarian

Lecture: Exploring the Gifts and Opportunities of Mid-life- A Jungian Perspective
By Marla Estes
$5.00 - 20.00 Suggested donation, everyone welcome, no one turned away
Presentation Description:
Mid-life can be a threshold if we choose to cross it. We can enter into despair, we can embark upon a second adolescence, or we can be in denial, among other things. Or- we can get down to the business of what Jungian James Hillman calls "soul-making." In the first half of life, we learn how to navigate in our world, more often than not developing a false self and strategic survival mechanisms. Often through disillusionment at the mid-stream of life, some of us find that we haven't been rewarded as we had been led to believe that we would by parents, families, religious organizations, teachers, or the culture at large.
We are at a crossroads. We can cave in on ourselves and start the descent into decline and old age, or we can experience a renaissance, literally a rebirth. Letting the old die, so that a new way of being can emerge. Our unlived aspects can finally come to life.
Jungian thought supplies a road map of this territory. Not a recipe or formula, but a general idea of the tasks that need attending to at this stage of our lives. Jung said that what we're looking for is not goodness, but wholeness. He thought the "goal" of life was individuation, that is, becoming all that we are and can become, authentically and uniquely ourselves.
In this presentation, we will cover such topics as:
- Persona: the image we present to the world
- Shadow: both the unlived and repressed parts of ourselves
- Anima/Animus: our inner templates of the opposite sex
- Integration of polarities and the Transcendent Function: how working with our inner conflicts can lead to a new, higher level of consciousness
- Tools for transformation
Presenter's Biography:
Marla Estes, living in Ashland, is a teacher, writer, and mentor. She holds her Masters degree in Transpersonal Studies. She has taught at SOU Extension, the SAEJ program at Ashland High School, and leads a woman's study group called "Cultivating the Orchid."

Free Video: "Grassy Narrows"
Donations Appreciated!
Video Description:
Our traditional values and culture are suffering and are headed towards extinguishment. This land and the forests that are an integral part of it have sustained our people for time immemorial. We watch as they disappear on the backs of logging trucks to paper mills all over the continent." Joe B. Fobister, a Grassy Narrows business man and community leader, in a letter written on March 21, 2002, to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
The First Nations community of Grassy Narrows in Northern Ontario's boreal forest has fought for decades to stop multinational logging companies from clearcutting their traditional lands.
Grassy Narrows has seen its traditional subsistence way of life devastated by massive deforestation, ecological damage and toxic pesticides left by logging companies. Weyerhaeuser, the biggest lumber company in the world, is buying up the ancient hardwood forests of Grassy Narrows "forests clear-cut over the objections of the community" and converting them into building products for the U.S. housing industry. Weyerhaeuser purchases the wood for these products from Abitibi and markets these products as "environmentally friendly."
In December 2002, community members at Grassy Narrows established a blockade on a logging road in their territory, sparking the longest-standing and highest-profile indigenous logging blockade in Canadian history. However, clearcuts still take place -- Weyerhaeuser and Abitibi refuse to respect the community's right to self-determination within their traditional territory. This July, busloads of activists from around North America will gather in solidarity at Grassy Narrows to help uphold the blockade.
Director David Clement's "As Long As the Rivers Flow: The Grassy Narrows Blockade Story," tracks Grassy Narrows' continuing battle to save its native lands from two of the world's largest lumber companies, Abitibi and Weyerhaeuser. The documentary is approximately 55 minutes, shot by Thunder Bay Indy Media. It includes interviews with community members, footage of clear-cuts, the blockades, protests and rousing visits to Canadian government officials.
You can watch a clip from the documentary by searching http://www.youtube.com/ for "rainforest action network"

Facilitators' Biographies:

Prior to coming to Ashland in the summer of 2004, she was on staff for the Kucinich Presidential Campaign, organizing in Iowa, Wisconsin, Florida and Oregon.

Jaelle holds an MA in speech from the University of Hawaii and has completed her course work towards a PhD. in political communication from the University of Washington. Her academic writing focuses on spirituality, inter-personal and inter-cultural communication.
DOMINIC ALLAMANO is a passionate and potent voice of the emerging visionary generation, inspiring others to shine their light brightly by boldly and humbly shining his. Since his late teens, when he began to see clearly following life altering physical trauma, he has focused his energies in two interrelated realms. The first is the realms of experiential education and explorations of the embodiment of consciousness, while the second is in a deep exploration of the sociological and systemic elements of the dominant world culture. The merging of these two realms has allowed him to perceive many of the key patterns and dynamics that define today's world and hold the promise for tomorrow's.
He feels called to be as a midwife to the emerging culture, assisting both in its birth and development as well as in the navigation of the unforeseen consequences of humanity's past choices, which are defining the context for that emergence. Through extensive travels and speaking around the Pacific Northwest he has aligned with an inspired network of allies with whom he is crafting new paradigm networks and tools like the WorldCrafter's Network ( http://www.worldcrafters.org) and CultureSeed ( http://www.cultureseed.org) to support the emergence of this new culture.
