Downtown Bend: Open Hub Singing Club

6:00 PM - 7:30 PM | Monday - Brooks Room

An unforgettable evening of singing...together! All voices are welcome.

This is an in-person program.

All voices are welcome and wanted. No previous singing experience required. All songs are taught in a call-and-echo, aural tradition process.

Group singing is one of the most ancient technologies of belonging. The research suggested that our ancestors survived by singing together. They weren't performing or recording. They were creating literal bonds of connection with their voices, which according to modern science also fills our brains with oxytocin and serotonin, hormones associated with trust & bonding.

Community songleader Ian Carrick is reinvigorating our culture with singing. Somehow we've mostly forgotten that singing together is our birthright. After a decade of searching for accessible forms of community-based music and recovering his own voice, Ian founded Open Hub Singing in 2016 after discovering a widespread North American cultural revival of aural tradition singing.

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM | Thursday - Becky Johnson Community Center

Discuss Matrix by Lauren Groff.
Becky Johnson Community Room 412 SW 8th Street

Cast out of the royal court by Eleanor of Aquitaine, deemed too coarse and rough-hewn for marriage or courtly life, seventeen-year-old Marie de France is sent to England to be the new prioress of an impoverished abbey, its nuns on the brink of starvation and beset by disease. At first taken aback by the severity of her new life, Marie finds focus and love in collective life with her singular and mercurial sisters. In this crucible, Marie steadily supplants her desire for family, for her homeland, for the passions of her youth with something new to her: devotion to her sisters, and a conviction in her own divine visions. Marie, born the last in a long line of women warriors and crusaders, is determined to chart a bold new course for the women she now leads and protects. But in a world that is shifting and corroding in frightening ways, one that can never reconcile itself with her existence, will the sheer force of Marie's vision be bulwark enough? Equally alive to the sacred and the profane, Matrix gathers currents of violence, sensuality, and religious ecstasy in a mesmerizing portrait of consuming passion, aberrant faith, and a woman that history moves both through and around. Lauren Groff's new novel, her first since Fates and Furies, is a defiant and timely exploration of the raw power of female creativity in a corrupted world.

Downtown Bend: Parenting as a Highly Sensing (Sensitive) Person

5:30 PM - 6:30 PM | Thursday - Brooks Room

Learn about parenting as a highly sensing (sensitive) person!

This is an in-person program.

Are you overwhelmed, anxious, feeling like you don’t fit in, tired of hearing that you’re 'too sensitive', that you need to 'let things go' and 'grow a thicker skin'? Do you react to things, and hold onto them, much more than others? Are you distracted and irritated by noises, others’ energy, crowds, smells or tags in your clothing? Do you feel like a doormat but feel guilty when you set a boundary? You just might be a Highly Sensing (Sensitive) Person (HSP). If you’re a parent, this level of sensitivity can have many challenges. You can become overwhelmed and exhausted and feel like nothing you do is right or that you just don’t have the bandwidth for what you do, even when it is right. If your child is also highly sensing, you may focus your energy on her and forget yourself, or have different reactions and butt heads. If your child is not highly sensing, his behaviors might be very challenging to manage and you can feel ineffective or just overwhelmed...and also butt heads! Let’s talk about what it’s like to parent as an HSP, and learn some tips for managing so you can feel calmer and better enjoy your relationship with your child.

About the Presenter: A Highly Sensing Person (HSP), Tammy understands what it's like to navigate the non-highly sensitive world. She uses a mind-body-spirit focus, the use of art and connection with nature, as well as mindful practices, meditation, energy work and EFT/tapping to help other HSPs minimize overwhelm and develop self-compassion and self-love, and embrace their trait and move from surviving to thriving.

She’s a best-selling contributing author, has an app for Highly Sensitivity, and a weekly tv series for HSPs. She works with clients in her home studio outside of Sunriver and online. All of her contact information and resources are found at https://linktr.ee/tammygoen. Direct email: tammy@coachtammygoen.com She offers consultation for HS parents and parents with HS children.

East Bend: Parenting Highly Sensing (Sensitive) Children

5:30 PM - 6:30 PM | Tuesday - Meeting Room

Learn about parenting highly sensing (sensitive) children.

This is an in-person program.

High sensitivity is all about processing things deeply. if you have a child that seems overly concerned about others or her environment, reacts strongly to things others don’t worry about, gets distracted easily by noise and busyness around her, seems really picky and perfectionistic, she might be highly sensing (a personality trait, not a disorder).

Highly Sensing children have different needs, as they have different reactions to the world that can seem too much for them. It’s important to be able to recognize sensitive responses and understand that your child may need things structured a bit differently, or at least be allowed to have responses that are different from those of other children.

In this class, you’ll learn how to identify whether your child might be highly sensing, how to support him, and how to support yourself. If you’re not highly sensing yourself, you could become frustrated by his behavior or choices or opting out of activities and feel the need to control or set parameters that don’t help. You could feel exasperated and confused...We’ll address this and look at expectations and learn tips for making parenting easier to improve your relationship. Highly sensing children have great potential with acceptance and the right support. Let’s learn how to support them.

About the Presenter: A Highly Sensing Person (HSP), Tammy understands what it's like to navigate the non-highly sensitive world. She uses a mind-body-spirit focus, the use of art and connection with nature, as well as mindful practices, meditation, energy work and EFT/tapping to help other HSPs to minimize overwhelm and develop self-compassion and self-love, and embrace their trait and move from surviving to thriving.

Repair Café at Sisters Firehouse (bilingüe)

5:30 PM - 7:30 PM | Wednesday - Sisters Firehouse Community Hall

Got a broken something? Bring it to be repaired!
¿Tienes algo que esté roto? ¡Tráelo al Repair Café!

This is an in-person program.

The Environmental Center's Rethink Waste Project coordinates with an amazing group of volunteer fixers to host Repair Cafés every few months. These free events connect people with broken stuff to people who like to fix stuff - they're all about repairing things (together). Stuff like jewelry, small appliances and electronics, outdoor gear, clothing, and more. Repair Cafés are held around the world! Repairing with other people saves natural resources, prevents waste, and cultivates community.

What to expect
Attendees bring their broken items to the registration table to receive a Repair Ticket, then wait until their number is called. Experienced fixer volunteers will attempt to repair or mend your items and may teach you how to fix them yourself. Fixers can diagnose an issue and offer their best, unbiased advice.

Some items are more difficult to repair, can take longer than we have time for at the event, or even break more during a repair attempt. Our repair rate is over 65%, with most of the remaining items receiving take-home repair instructions.

What to bring
Clothing, textiles, outdoor gear, electronics, small appliances, and other household goods. Not sure if it can be fixed? Bring it!

Only bring items small enough to be easily carried by one person, and do not bring any items that are leaking, dangerous, or dirty. Repairers can turn down any items that do not meet these guidelines.
A maximum of one broken item per person will be examined at a time, but you are welcome to bring several items. After each item is examined/repaired, you must return to the registration table to be matched with another fixer volunteer for a second item.

We will have a runner who will make trips to the hardware store if parts are needed. While the event and repairs are free, you will be responsible for the cost of any additional parts. Please bring cash for parts just in case!

The Environmental Center was born to inspire locals to live lighter on the planet. Our work began with a handful of people and a building in the center of Bend. Today, we've grown to become a regional leader in environmental education, engagement, and action. Our team works alongside people of all ages, local businesses, and elected officials to create and advocate for meaningful, lasting change.

East Bend: The Library Book Club

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM | Saturday - Meeting Room

Discuss The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Korelitz.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Plot (a Tonight Show Summer Read pick) and You Should Have Known, adapted as HBO's The Undoing, Jean Hanff Korelitz's The Latecomer is the story of three siblings, desperate to escape one another, and the upending of their family by the late arrival of a fourth. The Oppenheimer triplets have been reared with every advantage: wealth, education, and the determined attention of at least one of their parents. But neither Harrison (the smart one), Lewyn (the weird one) nor Sally (the girl) suspects the devastating event that first set their family in motion, or understands how fully it has already formed them. Now, on the verge of their departure for college and desperate to escape one another at last, the triplets are forced to contend with an unexpected complication: a fourth Oppenheimer sibling, formerly a leftover embryo from their own long ago in vitro genesis, has just been born. What has possessed their parents to make such an unfathomable decision? How can the triplets begin to imagine the impact this unwanted latecomer will have on their lives, and the ways she will work to bring them home?

Know Stars - Our Place Amongst the Stars at Sisters Firehouse Community Hall

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM | Saturday - Sisters Firehouse Community Hall

Discuss the scale, age, and content of the Universe with an astrophysicist.

This is an in-person program.

The Universe is a vast place, filled with an amazing variety of objects. Humanity has been wondering about our Universe’s size, origin, and content since the first of us looked up at the stars. This talk will discuss the scale, age, and content of the Universe. It will also look back at how humanity first determined the size of the Earth and solar system objects, made measurements, determined distances, and discovered our place in the Universe. This journey will start with how we determined the size of the Earth and then discuss all the steps that take us to the edge of the visible Universe. The last part of the talk will be about how we determine distance, age, and composition of astronomical bodies today and how new data from James Webb Space Telescope and other telescopes, on the ground and in space, have given us a new view of the Universe and how they are likely to continue to change our perception of the Universe for many decades to come.

Ronald Polidan is an astrophysicist/space technologist who retired and moved to Terrebonne, Oregon in 2016. He unretired in 2020 and currently holds the position of Director of Programs at Lunar Technologies, Inc., a space industrialization company based in Houston, TX. He is leading a NASA-funded study to develop a detailed concept for a very large radio observatory (larger in area than Bend), that would be robotically built on the far side of the Moon using materials extracted from lunar dirt. The primary science goal of this observatory is to see back to the dawn of time - beyond what can be observed with the James Webb Space Telescope - to before the first stars in the Universe have formed.

He has over 45 years of space mission experience working almost equal amounts of time in academia, government, and industry. His previous two employers were NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (1989-2004) and Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems (2004-2016). At Goddard Space Flight Center he served in a variety of roles, beginning as NASA’s Project Scientist for Operations for the Hubble Space Telescope, from prior to its launch in 1990 up to the first Hubble servicing mission, and ending as the NASA Center’s Chief Technologist, overseeing all technology development in the NASA Center. At Northrop Grumman he worked in the civil science sector in various roles (Manager, Director, and Chief Architect), overseeing the development of new science missions and related technology.

Downtown Bend: Housing and Belonging

11:00 AM - 12:30 PM | Sunday - Brooks Room * Registration Required

Explore assumptions and perspectives of houselessness/homelessness.

This is an in-person program. Registration is required.

Housing and homelessness is a visible and divisive issue in local media, in politics, and across different communities within our state. Many of us were experiencing housing instability and economic uncertainty even during the "boom" times before the current crisis. This conversation will explore common assumptions and perspectives about the experience of houselessness/homelessness and seek to answer the question, How do we decide who "belongs" in our community?

Paul Susi is a theater artist, social services professional, educator, and community activist born and raised in Portland. From 2015 to 2020, Paul worked as a lead shelter host, shift supervisor, and ultimately manager for six successive Transition Projects shelters, specializing in opening and establishing best practices for new emergency homeless shelters throughout the Portland area. In March of 2018, Paul was recognized as a RACC Juice Award honoree for outstanding contributions to the performing arts community. In the fall of 2018 and again in 2019, Paul toured a production of Denis O’Hare’s An Iliad to more than twenty different prisons, schools, community centers, and religious communities-the first time a touring performance succeeded in knitting together these unique constituencies throughout this state. Paul currently works as a site supervisor for the Outdoor School with the Multnomah Education Service District, where he goes by the camp name "Badger."

Open Hub Singing Club at Becky Johnson Community Center

7:00 PM - 8:30 PM | Wednesday - Becky Johnson Community Center

An unforgettable evening of singing...together! All voices are welcome.

This is an in-person program.

All voices are welcome and wanted. No previous singing experience required. All songs are taught in a call-and-echo, aural tradition process.

Group singing is one of the most ancient technologies of belonging. The research suggested that our ancestors survived by singing together. They weren't performing or recording. They were creating literal bonds of connection with their voices, which according to modern science also fills our brains with oxytocin and serotonin, hormones associated with trust & bonding.

Community songleader Ian Carrick is reinvigorating our culture with singing. Somehow we've mostly forgotten that singing together is our birthright. After a decade of searching for accessible forms of community-based music and recovering his own voice, Ian founded Open Hub Singing in 2016 after discovering a widespread North American cultural revival of aural tradition singing.
