SUMMARY:Learn to Meditate
DESCRIPTION:Join us for four Saturday mornings in September to learn a simple yet profound meditation practice that is grounded in the ancient Tibetan teachings of Shambhala.  Centered on the notion of basic goodness\, these teachings and practices are meant for times of joy and also times that are unsettling and difficult.  They describe how people can actually make use of tenderness\, sadness\, and fear to access an open awareness that is clear seeing\, steady and kind.  Each Saturday morning session (9-Noon) will include talks\, guided meditation instruction\, small discussion groups and a tea break.   All levels of practice welcome.   If you have an established meditation practice you will appreciate the retreat like environment and opportunity to meditate in community with what Suzuki Roshi called “beginner’s mind”.  The leader for the weekend is Lyle Larson who has been practicing and studying Buddhism and Shambhala paths since 1981. He is especially interested in  how these profound ancient teachings apply to everyday life in our highly polarized aggressive world. His latest path emphasis has been on applying the teachings and practices of simply being present and deep empathetic listening.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Robert Ortbal
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Robert Ortbal\nSaturday\, October 18\, 3-4:30 PM\n(Members & students free\, Non-Members $10) \nJoin us for an Artist Talk with Robert Ortbal in conjunction with his current solo exhibition\, Encounters. He will lead a dialogue about the work on display\, sharing images and videos highlighting the evolution and development of his previous work. \nRobert Ortbal combines a vast array of both common and odd materials\, applying them in endless variations to create small-scale\, uniquely masked figures\, traveling-case environments that house them\, and wearable sculptures that are\, at times\, worn outside the gallery environment in performative public works. For Encounters\, a 20-foot towering sculpture made from electrical conduit soars up into the clerestory and snakes along the gallery floor\, displaying an assortment of his wearable works. The exhibit is complemented by the publication of an illustrated catalog of his recent work. \nEncounters is on display at the Pence Gallery from October 10 – November 30\, 2025. \n— \nCatalog Sponsor: Nancy Roe\nExhibit Sponsors: Kimberly Ohlson & Allen Barnes\nInstallation Sponsors: MAK Design + Build

SUMMARY:Davis Bookworms
DESCRIPTION:Do you love reading\, but hate being told what book to read? Are you intrigued by the idea of a book club\, but too busy to do the reading beforehand? If so\, then you’ll fit right in with the Davis Bookworms! We are a brand new “silent” book club\, in which everyone brings a book of their own choosing\, reads for an hour\, and then socializes for an hour. We meet every two weeks on Sunday at Nashoba Wines\, right here in Davis. So whether you’re feeling the Sunday Scaries\, or just love to read\, come join us for an afternoon of good books\, good wine\, and good company!
