Friday, June 20th
6:00 - 9:00 - Solstice Celebration Yoga at LiveWell Camas
Come gather in sacred community to celebrate the longest day of the year. We’ll begin with a heart-opening cacao offering and a Despacho ceremony to honor the Earth and our intentions. From there, we’ll move into a nourishing somatic yoga flow to awaken the body and deepen our connection to self. We’ll close with guided creative writing to honor what arises and bring truth to the voice within us. Together we celebrate bold queer growth and radiance with the light of the Summer Solstice. This class is $45.

3:00 - 4:00 - Resistance Postcards at Heritage Park at Lacamas Lake - Sponsored by LiveWell Camas!
Pride started as a protest and it’s our duty to continue that tradition as long as they continue to try and marginalize and erase us. We’re fighting with truth, paper and postage! We will have all the materials needed to flood our elected (and appointed) officials with PRIDE postcards! We’ll have the cards, postage, pens, addresses, and even some suggestions on what to write. Just bring yourself and maybe a friend! Donations welcome!

6:00 - 7:30 - Defiant Moments Book Tour at Bookish’s new location!
Join “Our Bold Voices” on their book tour to meet storytellers and hear excerpts from their moments of defiance as members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community. Books will be available for sale.
“Building on our previous success with Defining Moments we proudly return with Defiant Moments. The timing couldn’t be better as our current federal administration is making drastic cuts to funding in key areas like education, science, and the arts. These reductions threaten the future of our society by undermining essential services that foster growth and creativity. Their efforts to diminish the visibility and rights of LGBTQ+ individuals make it even more important for us to challenge ourselves to work collectively to ensure that diverse voices are heard and valued. We hope our insights will spark affirming conversations that offer comfort and resilience during these challenging times.”
This event will be held at Bookish’s brand new location at 3255 NE Everett Street
6:00 - 8:00 - Cascade AIDS Project Fundraiser at Gallery 408
This is your opportunity to own an original piece of art while supporting a great cause!

Sunday, June 22nd
11:00 - 4:00 - The Camas PRIDE Live Your Best Life Block Party
