As the year comes to a close, it’s natural to reflect on the past and think about the changes we’d like to make. In this inspiring talk, we’ll explore how we can let go of old habits, unhelpful patterns, and mental clutter, and begin the new year with a fresh perspective. Drawing on simple yet profound Buddhist teachings, we’ll learn practical methods to cultivate inner peace—no matter what’s happening around us—and set a positive direction for the months ahead. You’ll leave with a renewed sense of clarity, confidence, and inspiration for the year to come. Everyone is welcome, no experience needed.

I have evening plans for New Year's but still want to get some Magic in, so I'll be hosting the public debut of a Jumpstart cube I assailed my family with this Christmas! It's (mostly) designed to be beginner-friendly, with a power level just above Jumpstart limited. We've got Necrons! Hobbits! Angels! Lizards! Birds! Towns! Gates! Avatar and Zendikar Allies! I went crazy and combed through my collection, making just shy of 60 Jumpstart decks, and a [spreadsheet that helps me track and randomize them](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ONDjU0yieQVrygMWfoiMVlGjGaiYN7nXYF7_yxcR418/edit?usp=sharing). Call me if you've signed up and are having trouble finding us: 760-815-1744 Also, here's a spreadsheet of cards [needed for my cubes](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uanQ4tfY_ygH_wAFe9krzo1Swbu4Ax8Ao204nPPymIA/edit?usp=sharing) for donation/trade! **CONDUCT POLICY** We cultivate a safe, friendly atmosphere. Please keep other's feelings close to mind. Derogatory comments of any kind are unacceptable, as is behavior that may make others uncomfortable, such as rage-quitting. If the stresses of the game are getting to you, we encourage you to politely sit out for a while. Thank you! **TARDINESS POLICY** If you're more than 10 minutes late, I'll enlist my wife to draft for you until your arrival. If she's unavailable, we'll make random, blind picks for you. If this is your first time RSVPing to one of my events, please message me to confirm your full vaccination status and that you will be attending.

New Year’s Eve at the Center ✨ Join us for a cozy, joy-filled evening as we welcome the New Year together—with love, laughter, and the simple magic of community. The night will unfold organically, guided by the energy and interests of everyone who gathers. We’ll have a potluck meal available throughout the evening, spaces to relax and connect, and you’re welcome to sleep over if you’d like (we just ask that you plan to head out early the next morning 🙂). Last year naturally blossomed into little pockets of joy—some folks playing board games, others exploring tarot or the I-Ching, and a group bravely singing their hearts out with karaoke. We imagine something similar this year. If you happen to have a karaoke machine we could borrow, please let us know! We’ll also have a warm fire going inside, and possibly a bonfire outside as well. Feel free to bring a drum or any musical instrument in case a spontaneous drum circle wants to emerge. What to bring: • Pajamas or comfy clothes (if that feels good) • A dish or drinks to share for the potluck • Sleeping items if you plan to stay over • Firewood if you’d like to contribute to the fire • Board games, tarot decks, or anything playful you’d love to share • Most importantly, a positive and open spirit 💛 Children are very welcome to join—parents remain responsible for their children at all times. And as a gentle reminder, please keep your speed under 10 mph on our driveway to help us care for and respect our neighbors. We can’t wait to ring in the New Year together, in whatever beautiful way the evening chooses to unfold. With love and gratitude

**To confirm attendance, please register on Luma:** [https://luma.com/88h45iky](https://luma.com/88h45iky) One of the truths we most regularly forget is that if we are at war with ourselves, we can’t feel love and connection with our world. This talk looks at the genesis of the “Trance of Unworthiness” and how the wings of mindfulness and heartfulness can dissolve the trance and reveal the loving awareness that is our essence Being. **Please watch this 55-min video (try 1.25X speed) before joining the discussion:** [https://youtu.be/vFr_zQCUMD4?si=0bf7DttQV9NxBY3m](https://youtu.be/vFr_zQCUMD4?si=0bf7DttQV9NxBY3m) If more than 10 people join the discussion, we will break out into smaller groups. **(max 10 people per group)** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 1. **Feeling "not enough" often pulls us away from the beauty of now. How can we help each other remember that we are already worthy?** 2. **We often hide our true selves behind busy schedules or social masks. What great things might happen if we felt safe enough to be authentic?** 3. **Pausing before we react helps us choose wisdom over impulse. How can we make more space for these quiet moments in our fast-paced lives?** 4. **Real change only happens once we accept ourselves as we are right now. How does being kind to ourselves help us grow together?** 5. **Naming a difficult feeling helps us manage it with more ease. How might acknowledging our shared hurdles make us a stronger community?** 6. **Looking past our defenses helps us see the goodness in everyone. How can we better celebrate the shared humanity in those around us?** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- To provide an enjoyable experience for fellow participants, here are three ground rules during discussion events: 1. Step up and step back. (If you feel that you’ve been talking too much, step back to listen more. If you feel that you’ve been relatively quiet, step up to share your perspective or ask a question) 2. Listen to understand, not to respond. 3. Be open-minded and value differences.

Oddball Cinema is pleased to begin a series of Oddball Adventures at James Duncan Library: movies that take the viewer into strange and unexpected places, some real, some imaginary. With a few liberties taken by the writers for dramatic effect, our first feature is based on actual events. In 1862 a young scientist (who would establish the field of meteorology) ascends in a balloon to study the upper atmosphere. Although his pilot on the historic flight was a man, in this feature the pilot is a woman based largely on a professional French balloonist of the era. As the two of them soar to an altitude never before attained, they face unexpected hazards and must resort to heroic measures to survive. The actual flight takes a little more than an hour, and once it begins, it is presented in real time. ■ Title — *The Aeronauts* ■ Director — Tom Harper ■ Cast — Felicity Jones, Eddie Redmayne, Himesh Patel ■ Rating — PG-13 ■ ©2019 \| 1h 40m \| Action\, Adventure\, Comedy\, Drama\, Romance

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
