This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Join writer and curator Mayumi Tsutakawa as she discusses how Washington’s Japanese Americans faced the injustice of internment and how families who lost everything rebuild their lives. This event is sponsored by Humanities Washington and the Friends of the Chehalis Timberland Library.

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).

On October 12, 1962, a windstorm fueled in part by the remains of Typhoon Freda struck the Pacific Northwest with deadly winds topping one hundred miles per hour.
The storm killed dozens, injured hundreds, damaged more than fifty thousand homes, and leveled enough timber to build one million homes. Join us for an author talk with John Dodge, former investigative reporter for The Olympian, as he reads passages from his new book about Typhoon Freda, “A Deadly Wind: The 1962 Columbus Day Storm.” This talk will include a slideshow and a question and answer session. A signing will follow the presentation, and copies of the book will be available for purchase.
