SUMMARY:7th Annual Turtle Trot 5k\, 10K\, Fun Run and Brunch!
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Willow-Witt Ranch for The Crest’s 7th Annual Turtle Trot—a true trail race with heart (and breakfast)! Choose the 5K or 10K on rolling singletrack through meadows\, wetlands\, oak woodlands\, and native conifer forest\, or bring the whole family for a joyful Fun Run for all ages. \nAfter the finish\, stay for what many say is the best part: a communal\, made-from-scratch delicious post-race breakfast shared around long tables\, followed by a hands-on Western Pond Turtle learning session. Run hard\, eat well\, linger and learn. All proceeds support The CREST in our mission to connect people and nature. \nPlease leave dogs at home. Willow-Witt Ranch is a working farm and uses Maremma livestock guardian dogs. No outside dogs or pets are permitted at this working ranch.

SUMMARY:Talking About Values Across Political Divides with Lowell Greathouse\, 15+ YRS
DESCRIPTION:“How can I be me without making it difficult for you to be you?” This question gets at the fundamental challenge of being in society together. We live in a contentious political world\, and it’s difficult to talk about our deepest values and beliefs in safe\, civil\, and respectful ways. In 2021\, the Pew Research Center found that nearly six in ten Americans felt that political conversations with those you disagree with are generally stressful and frustrating\, as opposed to being interesting and informative. If we avoid such conversations\, we lose opportunities to form a community with others that reflects our best selves. How can we learn to share our values in ways that bring us together rather than push us further apart? \nLowell Greathouse is a retired United Methodist minister who served congregations in rural\, suburban\, and urban settings in Oregon\, Idaho\, and England from 1986 to 2019. In addition\, he worked with community-based programs at Catholic Social Services in San Francisco\, Community Action in Washington County\, and United Way of the Columbia-Willamette. Lowell was born in Oregon and has family roots in the state that date back to the 1890s. He has been engaged in a variety of cross-cultural settings\, including at the Cuernavaca Center for Intercultural Dialogue on Development (CCIDD) in Cuernavaca\, Mexico\, and is the author of the book Rediscovering the Spirit: From Political Brokenness to Spiritual Wholeness (Wipf and Stock\, 2020).
