CALENDAR Four years after its start, and now completing its third year as a nonprofit, Cascadia Quest comes inside for its fourth annual fundraiser: Season of Light Gathering: Celebrat- ing What Connects Us. Eugene-based Cascadia Quest offers wilderness rites of passage and other immersed per- sonal growth and educational experiences for youth and adults. The organization has a Young Men’s Initiation and a Young Women’s Rite of Passage, both contemporary wilder- ness rites of passage based on the “old ways of adulthood initiation.” It also has Adult Vision Fasts, Medicine Walks (day-long mini-quests), grieving ceremonies and wilder- ness training to learn the art of mirroring and to be a men- tor in the program (Womentors for the Young Women’s Rite of Passage). During the event, music will interweave with personal stories of transformation. To close the night, Rob Miller, lead guide and executive director of Cascadia Quest, will facilitate a Community Ritual of Abundance. Cascadia Quest’s Season of Light Gathering: Celebrating What Connects Us is 7-9 pm Saturday, Dec. 15, at Ashtanga Yoga, 825 Monroe Street, Ste. 20. Tickets are $10 and up and can be purchased at the door. — Dan Buckwalter Milstein, 8-10pm, Old Nick’s Pub, 211 Washington St. FREE FARMERS MARKET Holiday Farmers Market continues. See Saturday.
