Amber Strunk from LIGO, the Nobel Prize-awarded Gravitational Wave Observatory located at Hanford and operated by MIT and Caltech, will discuss 10 years of gravitational wave astrophysics.

LIGO Hanford Observatory sits just outside of Richland, Washington, one of just a handful of specialized observatories in the world searching for gravitational waves from cosmic events such as the collision of black holes and neutron stars. While these waves were predicted by Einstein in 1915 the were only directly detected by LIGO 10 years ago. Since that first detection over 300 detections have been made expanding our ability to understand the cosmos and the fundamental laws of physics that govern it. Learn about what we have uncovered in the last decade and what the future holds for gravitational wave research.

Community Gathering & Mutual Support in Response to the Epstein Files
2026-03-15 16:00 - 18:00 | Flow Hood River: Yoga Move Connect, Flow Hood River: Yoga Move Connect
This gathering is for collective healing & engagement in response to the Epstein Files.

Many are feeling horrified and disoriented about what has come to light and how this is not being adequately addressed in public spaces. No arrests, no accountability. The information is changing every day. New world events are creating more confusion and chaos.

How do we stay grounded, well-informed, and take care of our bodies & minds as we process our collective shock and confusion? And how do we speak up in the face of the calculated gaslighting & take meaningful, realistic action to repair and protect?

These problems stay intact when we stay quiet and isolated. This is an offering to come together and use your voice.

The intention for the gathering is to nourish our minds and hearts through mutual support and connection. This is not a political event. It’s for healing and solidarity against all sexual violence. We will light candles, speak some words of prayer, dialogue and offer a gentle practice to center in our hearts in order to care for our nervous systems and our mental health.
If you are seeking support in these ways or others concerning this topic, join us.

Details: Sunday March 15th, 4-6pm, Flow Yoga (1015 12th ST Hood River)

Rattlesnakessssss: Shedding the Myths to Meet the Snake with Adrian Slade

Doors at 6:00 p.m., show from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. PDT.

Where: Columbia Center for the Arts, 215 Cascade Ave., Hood River, OR 97031 (All ticket-holders also get access to the livestream)
STORY:
They’re almost invisible, blending into the basalt and bunchgrass. Most of us never see one—but when we do, it’s unforgettable. In the Columbia River Gorge, northern pacific rattlesnakes quietly go about their lives beneath our feet, helping control rodent populations and supporting the balance of local food webs. So why do these shy, gentle animals inspire so much fear? And what do we lose when we let myths shape our relationship with them?
Join wildlife ecologist Adrian Slade for a closer look at the Gorge’s only venomous reptile. Discover their fascinating biology, annual rhythms, complex social lives, and strong fidelity to den sites passed down through generations. Learn how they respond to wildfire, habitat changes, and human pressures—and how their presence signals a healthy landscape.
Whether you’re a hiker, land steward, or just snake-curious, this talk will offer practical tips for coexisting with rattlesnakes and a deeper appreciation for their subtle yet vital presence on the landscape. Let go of fear and meet the rattlesnake as it truly is: not a villain, but a neighbor.
*Adrian will be bringing live snakes for viewing as part of the in-person presentation.
About the Speaker:
Adrian Slade is a naturalist and herpetologist based in Central Washington, where she has spent the past decade observing snakes in their natural habitats. A lifelong snake appreciator, her work is guided by the desire to give back to the quiet, misunderstood creatures who bring her joy and peace.
Her research focuses on the natural history, behavior, and conservation of Pacific Northwest reptiles – especially northern pacific rattlesnakes and the imperiled striped whipsnake. She holds a B.S. and M.S. in Biology from Central Washington University, where she studied under Dr. Dan Beck. Her graduate research examined the effects of utility-scale solar energy on reptiles in Southern California.
Today, she leads a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife–funded project to map the distribution and support the recovery of striped whipsnakes in the mid-Columbia Basin shrubsteppe. She is passionate about bridging science and public understanding through storytelling to dispel myths, foster coexistence, and share the quiet wonder of a life spent alongside snakes.
About Sense of Place:

For 16-years, Sense of Place has connected people through place and storytelling.
Our flagship speaker series features people with unique knowledge of the Columbia River Gorge and who consider the natural and cultural history that has shaped this place. Guests have included: scientists, tribal members, authors, farmers, and many others from throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Imagine a future where every family in our community has the opportunity to shape their legacy, where the values that matter most endure for generations to come. Unfortunately, many families are unprepared for this responsibility: only 35% have a will, and even fewer include charitable intentions.

On Thursday, March 19th, from 5:30-7:30pm at the Fort Dalles Readiness Center in The Dalles, we warmly invite you to join us for the Community Legacy Initiative.

Hear from a panel of experts on the benefits and how-tos of estate planning
Receive free resources and handouts to help you plan your financial future
Learn more about adding charitable gifts into your estate planning

After the event, you will receive information about local non-profts who accept legacy giving contributions so you can connect directly with an organization that interests you. There will also be experts on site that can provide resources around end-of-life care, including advance directive planning.
This event is free and aims to educate the community about the profound impact of estate planning, connect individuals and families with experts and empowering tools, and encourage giving to organizations committed to bettering our community. Spots are limited and pre-registration is encouraged. Light snacks, catered by Casa El Mirador, will be provided.

Ayurvedic Spring Kitchari Cleanse
2026-03-22 14:00 - 16:00 | Conscious Nectar, 181 W Jewett Blvd, White Salmon, WA, 98672, United States
As the ice melts and the earth wakes up, our bodies naturally want to shed the heaviness of winter. In Ayurveda, spring is the season of Kapha—a time when congestion and sluggishness can take hold. A guided Kitchari cleanse is the traditional way to “light the fire” of your digestion and step into the new season feeling light and clear.
Join Stephenie Going and Madeline Armstrong for an immersive and transformative experience, with a total reset this spring. This guided Spring Ayurvedic Kitchari Cleanse Program is offered over 3 sessions in a supportive group format with individualized tips on purposeful self-care during the season. Cleansing is a preventative measure to ensure good health for the coming season. We offer supportive Ayurvedic education and assessment techniques as well as an integrative Yoga practice designed for the season.
