This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Girls Night Out is a retail promotion for shopping, dining, and entertainment in downtown Centralia.
Starting points are HUBBUB on the north end and The Station Coffee Bar and Bistro on the south end. Our non-profit is the Human Response Network. Two dollars from every passport sold will go as a donation to them. Also, the first 200 shoppers will get a goody bag. At the end of the night, and it is time to turn your passport end, turn it end at the last business you visit. There will be a drawing of the turned in passports for a chance to win the gift basket! We all look forward to seeing you, so enjoy and have fun shopping and dining in downtown Centralia!
“Engage for Life” is a community pro-life event. Music, desserts, and the opportunity to meet local ministries like Possibilities Pregnancy Center, Rally Round for Ultrasound, Centralia 40 Days for Life, Centralia College Students for Life and Human Life of Lewis County. Our keynote speaker, Mike Spencer, lives in Ohio and is the Midwest Regional Director of Training for “Life Training Institute” and was a pastor for 23 years. His message will equip and encourage the body of Christ to answer God’s call to defend the vulnerable, be a voice for the voiceless and love the women who have been hurt by abortion.

Mirror mirror on the wall; do you see yourself at all?! Often in life, we believe the vision that others have of us, leaving us feeling disempowered and lost. Are you ready to let that go? Are you hungry for nourishment, self-love and a deeper connection to whom you were born to be? Are you ready to let go of limiting beliefs and self-sabotage? It is time sisters, to be the powerful woman that you were meant to be.
This profound workshop will nourish your mind, body and spirit by connecting you to the natural world and introduce you to the powerful woman that you already are. Come and transform yourself through holistic coaching and nature-based rituals that will help guide you to powerful insights, self-discovery and personal growth. In this journey, we will create sacred soul songs, write our pain and speak it freely. You will bless yourself with power charged waters and beautify yourself with silken scarves and jewelry, and then and only then will you look into the mirror….. The Oracle will speak to the depths of the beauty that you are, and you will dance around the fire and sing your soul song.
Each participant will need to provide two scarves and a few pieces of costume jewelry (thrift stores are the best place to find these).
Lunafest is a festival of films by, for and about women. Films are provided by Lunabar Company. This showing is organized by Lewis County Branch of American Association of University Women. Proceeds will benefit Human Response Network and local scholarships for women. Before the showing, attendees can enjoy complimentary appetizers and purchase raffle tickets for an assortment of baskets and other items.
