Bonner ParkRiver News & Brews: Collaborative River Recreation Management in the Missoula Valley
At the Confluence Center in downtown Missoula, a moderated conversation explores the past, present, and future of river recreation in the Missoula Valley. The program examines how the Missoula River Ambassador partnership blends public and private efforts in an unconventional, collaborative approach to protect river health, improve public safety, and foster a curiosity-driven ethic of care for local rivers and streams. Panelists represent five of the six partner agencies and organizations, with ASUM Transportation invited but unable to attend. Speakers include Randy Arnold, Director of Lands, Culture and Recreation with Missoula County; Rad Watkins, Executive Director of the Missoula Conservation District; Morgan Valliant, Associate Director of Ecosystem Services with Missoula Parks & Recreation; Ryan Schreiner, Lower Clark Fork Recreation Manager with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks; and McKenna Flannigan, River Ambassador Coordinator with the Clark Fork Coalition. Beverages are donated by Big Sky Brewing Co. There is no cost to attend, and seating is limited.

Caras ParkThe Fierce Wisdom of the Yoginīs
This session invites participants to explore the Yoginīs through contemplative practice, nondual perspectives, and embodied transformation. Across Tantric lineages of India and Tibet, the Yoginīs are associated with incisive wisdom, boundless freedom, awakening through the body, and the transformative potency of awareness. Linked with thresholds and change, these traditions encourage meeting the sacred within the fullness of lived experience rather than looking beyond it. Blending scholarship with direct engagement, the gathering offers an approachable introduction to the Śākta-Śaiva streams. It is welcoming to all backgrounds and levels of familiarity, and no prior study of Tantra or yoga philosophy is needed. During this experiential 90-minute immersion, participants explore the symbolic and spiritual significance of the Yoginīs, how emotion, desire, and embodiment can serve as pathways to awakening, and how fierce compassion supports meaningful transformation. The session includes contemplative practices for integrating these insights into everyday life, along with nondual and Tantric viewpoints that loosen rigid binaries and encourage deeper intimacy with self and world. Please bring a water bottle and, if desired, materials for journaling.
