This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.

Have you ever felt lost for words? Imagine not having the vocabulary to describe an event in your life, and feeling imprisoned by it for years. This talk explores the power of storytelling and its role in healing. With an emphasis on South Asian cultural expectations, her own story of sexual abuse and the need to create a space for talking about taboo issues, Indapure illustrates how the act of storytelling is therapeutic to the storyteller and beneficial to the listener.
Ms. Indapure is a volunteer, storyteller, activist, artist and community organizer. Her formal training includes a BA in English literature, an LLB from the University of Pune, and an LLM from the University of Nottingham.
This program is sponsored by Humanities Washington and the Friends of the Chehalis Timberland Library.

Grief shows up in many ways and can often be amplified during the holiday season. A season that may have brought much joy and happiness can become a season of conflicted emotions for families and individuals who are experiencing the loss of a loved one. Maybe you want to understand how to help someone during the holiday season who is experiencing the grief of losing a loved one. This workshop provides recommendations for celebrating both the holidays and the lives of those that have passed on and provides participants with tools for helping others in this situation. Presented by Lisa Reed, MA, LMFT Bereavement Coordinator at Assured Hospice in Centralia, WA.
