Women's Retreat Co-hosted by Moon Shadow Sisters & Newaukum River Ranch @ Newaukum River Ranch

Newaukum River Ranch welcomes Moon Shadow Sisters to join in circle this July 9-11th with the new moon.
Moon Shadow Sisters co-facilitators, Zazil & April, will lead you in circle each day offering tools and reflections for healing and perspective that include guided meditation, connective movements and journaling.
The Ranch will provide the perfect retreat as you leave the world for a while and enjoy the riverfront between group interactions. You’ll find hammocks in the trees, quilts and books in the barn, a hot shower, and primitive camping where the river trickles through your dreams. Not to mention that we’ll have breakfast catered for you!
This is a safe space for women to get real, share our journeys, and cultivate self-love and authentic relationships as we reconnect with our feminine essence.

The Fifth Annual American Lung Association Cycle For Air: Reach the Beach Washington brings together hundreds of cyclists across the Northwest to fundraise for lung health. This ride offers several distance options for all levels of riders, from 100 miles to 25 miles, but all ending on the beautiful beach in Westport, WA. This year riders also have the option to ride virtually through Cycle Your Way, while still fundraising for an organization they can trust. Nationwide, Cycle For Air events have raised nearly $30 million to support lung health research, programs and services since the event’s inception.

Women’s Only Basic Pistol Class @ Centralia Rifle Club & Junior Division

Give a unique gift of firearms training to the women in your life. No pistol, no problem, I have several you can try. Just need them to bring 9mm Luger and/or .22LR. Learn the basics of what to look for when purchasing a handgun, how to hold the pistol, how to stand while shooting, how to aim, what may or may not be considered self-defense and more. Bring to class your firearm if you have one, proper ammo for it, eye/ear protection (I have extra if you don’t have either of those) and a baseball cap. Cost is $75 with a non-refundable preregistration fee of $25, leaving a balance due at the door of $50. Call Dolly at 360-978-4338 to register or get your questions answered.
