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).

SUMMARY:Who Are "We the People"? with Eliot Feenstra\, 15+ YRS
DESCRIPTION:Our stories about who we are—as a nation or as a community—often don’t match the reality of who is actually part of our community. When the Declaration of Independence was written\, people living in what would become the United States didn’t all have the same rights. What does that mean for us 250 years later? This conversation is a chance to reflect on what the Declaration of Independence means today\, what it means to be American\, and what it takes to work together for the benefit of all. \nEliot Feenstra is a community organizer\, artist\, gardener and facilitator. He currently works with Oregon’s Kitchen Table\, a statewide community engagement program that creates ways for Oregonians to participate in public decision-making. Prior to joining OKT\, he worked on rural queer community organizing in southern Oregon\, collaborative performance projects\, and connecting people with place. He has worked with Oregon Humanities since 2015\, leading trainings\, facilitating conversations about power and place\, and even once appearing on The Detour. After living in Josephine County for many years\, he now lives in Portland and continues to work in solidarity with and advocate for rural communities

SUMMARY:Tea and Revolution: Women's Role in the War of Independence\, 18+YRS
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder what the Founding Mothers did to help America win their independence from Britain? The American Revolutionary war wasn’t fought just by the men. Women had a huge impact on the outcome of the war. They fulfilled many roles that were a major contribution to winning the War of Independence\, from setting up a national boycott on British goods to working as spies\, scouts and even a few as soldiers. Tames brings to life many of these extraordinary women whose\, cunning\, courage\, and creativity helped win the war and shape our country. \nIn the first half of this program\, Tames’ clothing\, made from patriotic wool and linen\, reflects the hundreds of women who took an active role in the War of Independence. It was a woman who the founding fathers trusted to print the Declaration of Independence with all of their signatures\, and it was a woman who disguised those taking part in the Boston Tea Party. Many more worked as spies\, scouts and even a few as soldiers. They helped prisoners escape\, and defended their property. \nIn the second part of this program Tames changes into an imported printed cotton gown and talks about the women who did fund raising and kept their farms and businesses running\, as well as organizing for food and supplies to get to the ever-moving Continental army. These women refused to accept the limitations placed on them based on their gender. Motivated by their desire to help America become an independent nation\, they went above and beyond to help in any way they could\, and often in surprising and ingenious ways.
