Sravasti Abbey in Newport invites all you 20-somethings to explore Tibetan Buddhism from June 8-15. The course, Buddhist Community for Young Adults, includes meditation, teachings, Dharma discussions and, “a chance to work outdoors in beautiful gardens, meadows, and woodlands in northeastern Washington,” according to the abbey. You can register here. I’d join you but, sigh, I’m too old.
Anyway, it’s garage sale season and The Paulsen House will have a big one June 15 (8 a.m. – 3 p.m.) and 16 (8 a.m. – 1 p.m.). Furniture, books and household items will be for sale. Rosa Gallica Gift Shop will be open one last time for a final sale. And don’t forget that the Sacred Rubble sale at Unity Church, Spokane will continue tonight until 7 and tomorrow until 2 p.m. I’ve become a big fan of yard sales. I blame the History Channel.
If you’re a fan of C.S. Lewis, like I am, then you’ll be excited to learn that a dramatic adaption of “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” will be on stage through the weekend at Spartan Theater. Show starts nightly at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here.
Congratulations to the Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council for winning the Agora Award on May 30. The award, given by Greater Spokane Inc., honors locals businesses and non-profits for business excellence. And kudos to Christ Kitchen for being named a finalist for the award.
Finally, in case you missed it, this week we wrote about a group of Eastern Washington University students who learned about turbans and the Sikh faith. Check it out.
