Did you know? Human Trafficking happens everywhere, and the Interstate 5 corridor through the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon is a hotspot in the nation. From labor trafficking, to massage parlors, to child exploitation- our communities are especially vulnerable.
Over 20 million people are trafficked around the world at any moment in time. How it happens might surprise you. Less than 5% of trafficking cases in the US result from kidnapping or abductions.
Human trafficking extends beyond sexual exploitation to labor trafficking in the cannabis industry for example, where migrant workers are treated as slaves. It’s happening every day, causing immeasurable injustice and suffering.
This two-day, deep-dive educational and networking summit is for anyone interested in getting a better understanding of the true realities of human trafficking in Southern Oregon, the nation, and the world… READ MORE

- Finding Ground in a Sea of Change- A Community Constellation Event by Lexi AlmaRogue Valley Metaphysical Library, Ashland, OR
FREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St., Ashland, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14
Finding Ground in a Sea of Change: A community event of interactive and experiential learning to build resiliency and community, connection and care via Constellation Work.
Lexi will offer a brief context for and an introduction to Constellation Work. We will devote most of the evening to setting Constellations via the group field that we will co-create, and working with what arises between us as we seek ground in this sea of change time.
Constellation Work is a powerful somatic practice based in African Tradition and Spirituality which uses the power of community, ceremony and the interconnected web of life we all share to shift our attention from trauma to gifts, from despair to possibility.
Constellation Work uses the power of group field and the natural laws of hierarchy and order inherent to all systems to create longed for shifts in our personal and collective territories. As we give place to what has been lost, forgotten, excluded or ignored, our sense of belonging and knowing of our place in the family of things naturally re-arises.
Lexi Alma is a dynamic teacher and devoted community builder as well as a mother, teacher, and land steward on a blossoming resilient ecosystems farm in Ashland, Oregon. Lexi has degrees in Education, Counseling Psychology and Group Facilitation, and has completed certifications with expert teachers and leaders in the fields of trauma, neuroscience, somatics, and has deeply studied the interface between science and spirituality. She has worked in public and private sectors in both education and mental health.
Lexi works with holistic and community-centric practices she calls Sacred Science*: Medicinal Storytelling, Somatic Integration, Ancestral Imprints (epigenetics), mindfulness and meditation practices, and Systemic Family Constellation Work. This powerful work teaches necessary tools for taking on one’s own transformation from inside the safe and sacred container of community. Alexis works directly with the brain so new neural pathways are built—this sustains positive and lasting change. Her laser sharp focus provides accurate reflection and input that will rapidly propel you forward to the place you long to arrive-home to yourself, home in community and anchored in belonging.
Lexi dedicates her life to supporting humanity’s rapid evolution in these incredible times of change.
