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

- Playing with Purpose- The Transformative Power of Leela: “The Game of Life”Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library, Ashland, OR
FREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St., Ashland, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14.
Discover the Leela Game – an ancient wisdom tool from India that transcends ordinary board games. Often called “the Game of Life,” Leela offers a fascinating gateway to understanding consciousness and life’s deeper patterns.
This remarkable game unfolds across a traditional 72-space board, each square representing a specific state of being or spiritual insight. As players move through squares, they encounter a mirror of their life journey.
What makes Leela extraordinary is its dance between chance and choice. The dice represent life’s unpredictability, while our responses invite conscious decision-making. This interplay creates a powerful metaphor for navigating our everyday existence.
The ancients designed Leela not merely as entertainment but as a meditation in motion – a playful yet profound map for exploring spiritual evolution. Each square offers timely wisdom, reflecting our psychological patterns and recurring themes.
It is fascinating how this remarkable tradition applies to modern challenges. Through this simple yet profound game, one may discover an extraordinary journey toward greater self-awareness—a path that leads not to some distant finish line but to the center of one’s own being.
Galina Glazyrina is a dedicated Leela Game facilitator and Holistic Life Coach with over 7 years of coaching experience. Her diverse academic background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Master’s Degrees in Linguistics and Public Relations, providing her with a unique multidisciplinary perspective on this ancient wisdom tradition’s psychological and metaphysical aspects.
For the past 3 years, she has immersed herself in studying and sharing the transformative power of the Leela Game, facilitating more than 40 sessions for both groups and individuals.
She is passionate about helping others discover profound insights through the playful yet powerful journey of the Leela Game.
