Eco Dharma Smoke Offering & Sacred Offerings Practice at Mountain Stream
Nevada City Chamber
The Eco Dharma Council invites you to join us for a special Smoke Offering and Sacred Offerings Practice
with Khenpo from 5:30 - 7:30 pm at Mountain Stream Meditation Center: 710 Zion St, Nevada City, CA 95959
Because of the season and current fire conditions, our smoke offering will be done safely using incense sticks rather than an outdoor fire. Khenpo will begin by sharing a teaching on the meaning and purpose of smoke offerings—why we make them, what our intention should be, and how this ancient practice can deepen our connection with Mother Earth.
We will also explore the traditional Buddhist altar and offerings. Khenpo will explain how to set up an altar, what the offering bowls represent, and the meaning behind each offering, connecting these practices with the elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space.
This will be an interactive gathering, with practice stations where everyone can participate firsthand—learning how to arrange the offerings, understand their symbolism, and discover how t…

Nevada City Chamber
We live in a culture that constantly encourages us to have more, do more, buy more, accomplish more and even become more. But what happens when we begin to ask a different question: What if what I have, who I am, and this moment are already enough?
In this talk, Khenpo will share the Buddhist understanding of contentment and how learning to recognize "enough" can bring greater peace and freedom into our lives. As we grow older, we may naturally begin to simplify - our possessions, our responsibilities, our expectations and even our ideas about who we are supposed to be. Rather than seeing that as a loss, it can become an opportunity to truly discover what matters.
There is a difference between being content and giving up. Being content does not mean that we stop growing or caring. It means we stop believing that our happiness is always somewhere else - after the next purchase, accomplishment or change.
Khenpo will share questions for us to explore: for example:
1. How do we know when we have enough?
2.…

12th Annual Howl-o-ween Dog Mob Parade – October 25, 2026, Downtown Grass Valley Grass Valley, CA – The streets of downtown Grass Valley are about to go to the dogs, again—literally!
On Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 3:00 PM, the community will gather for the 12th Annual Howl-o-Ween Dog Mob Parade presented by PAWS’itive Pals Dog Training and The City of Grass Valley.
This free family event that celebrates creativity, community spirit, and of course, our four-legged companions. What began in 2014 with just 14 dogs has grown into one of Nevada County’s most beloved traditions, with a record-breaking 600+ dogs in attendance in 2023.
This year, organizers are aiming for 1,000 dogs (and their humans) to flood the streets in costume for a spooktacular afternoon filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Rain or Shine we show the community spirit.
The shopkeepers are excited to welcome you in for those seasonal gifts and join to watch the parade—and the prize baskets for the contest include so many…

The Roots of Tai Chi
Strong as the Mountain, Supple as Water
with Ken Cohen
October 29 - November 1, 2026
Nevada City, CA
Tai chi (also spelled Taiji Quan) teaches us to float like clouds and flow like water, yet have the quiet inner strength of a mountain. Come learn, in exquisite detail, a basic series of Yang Style Tai Chi movements, suitable for complete beginners as well as advanced students who wish to experience a fresh approach while greatly expanding their skill and understanding.
Ken Cohen’s emphasis is on quality—each posture contains a world of information about relaxation, alignment, grounding, and inner strength. These principles are important not only for health, but to improve ability in any sport, including the martial arts. The class also includes an introduction to the science behind Tai Chi and how it promotes longevity and harmony with nature. The ultimate goal is to have a Tai Chi mind and body: a life of balance, peace, and energy.

Family Constellations Circle - The power of revealing the stories we carry.
Do you ever notice the same patterns showing up in your life, no matter how much inner work you’ve already done?Maybe you find yourself in the same relationship dynamics again and again, struggling financially despite your efforts, or repeating choices that don’t serve you — even though you “know better.”There’s a reason for this.So much of what shapes our emotions, relationships, and sense of self isn’t only about the choices we make. It’s often connected to the struggles, survival strategies, and unhealed stories that began long before we were born.We all carry an invisible inheritance — loyalties, bonds, and unresolved dynamics that live in our family system. Without realizing it, we can become entangled with the pain of those who came before us, and that weight can quietly shape the way we live, love, and dream.Family Constellations is a powerful process that helps bring these hidden dynamics into the light.

Muse Lab - A Generative Writing Group + Open Mic
Muse Lab is a monthly, all-ages experiment in writing, attention, music, performance and the unknown. Through guided writing sprints, self-inquiry, strange questions, and creative prompts, we use writing as a tool for discovery - to witness what's here, explore what's hidden, and conjure things we didn't know were there. Music moves beneath the experience as we follow the thread and see what emerges.
This isn't a writing class.

A cherished tradition that brings our community together with warmth, light, and holiday cheer.
Step into a winter wonderland in historic Downtown Grass Valley as we celebrate the magic of the season with Cornish Christmas — a cherished tradition that brings our community together with warmth, light, and holiday cheer.
Held on select Friday evenings beginning the day after Thanksgiving, and each successive Friday through December 18th, Cornish Christmas transforms Mill and Main Streets into a festive marketplace filled with twinkling lights, local artisans, seasonal treats, carolers, and live music. Stroll the beautifully decorated streets, savor hot cider, and revel in the joyful sights and sounds of the holidays — all while honoring the Cornish heritage that helped shape our town during the Gold Rush era.

Muse Lab - A Generative Writing Group + Open Mic
Muse Lab is a monthly, all-ages experiment in writing, attention, music, performance and the unknown. Through guided writing sprints, self-inquiry, strange questions, and creative prompts, we use writing as a tool for discovery - to witness what's here, explore what's hidden, and conjure things we didn't know were there. Music moves beneath the experience as we follow the thread and see what emerges.
This isn't a writing class.
It's an invitation to be present, get curious and discover something unexpected - together. There's a special kind of permission that comes from creating alongside others, where vulnerability invites vulnerability, strangers become collaborators, and new connections take root.
No writing experience necessary, and no pressure to share.
After the Lab, we open the room for an eclectic open mic featuring poetry, storytelling, spoken word and whatever else people bring to the stage. Slots are limited to 5 mins. Longer slots available f…
