**FREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St., Ashland, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14.**

Learn the life and legacy of one of the 20th century’s human rights pioneers: Helen Keller, who was deaf and blind since childhood. Author, advocate, and human rights pioneer, Helen Keller, used her courageous spirit to champion rights for women, people with disabilities, and people living in poverty. What was the driving force behind a deaf and blind woman to improve the lives of others?

**Alex F. Crenshaw** is the founder of the Zen Institute in Mt. Shasta, CA. At the age of 28 years old, he quit his job as a corporate accountant and began his semi-monastic Zen Buddhism training for seven years at the Rochester Zen Center in Upstate New York.

​​Inspired by the teachings of the greatest Zen Masters to contribute to society, Alex volunteered for two years at the Sacramento Children’s Home, where he helped abused children. For a period of three years, he taught Zen Buddhism and meditation at the Folsom State Prison, one of the oldest prisons in the United States. During this time, Alex witnessed the positive transformation of the inmates as a result of their meditation practice amid the most difficult conditions.

​Alex collaborates every week on radio and television by sharing his knowledge of human potential, and by sharing topics related to mindfulness, children, women’s rights, how the subconscious mind works, and business. ​Alex works for a Fortune 500 company and offers conferences on human potential in the US and Europe.
