TUESDAY, April 21st, Earth Day Eve Doors open at 5:30pm, with light refreshments Program starts at 6pm, ends at 9pm 3 hours of film and community conversation dedicated to a resilient Spokane Rehydrating the Land to Cool Our City An Opportunity to Unite Spokane's Environmental Community. Across our city, passionate people are doing extraordinary environmental work — and yet many of us feel that our efforts, though meaningful, aren't moving the needle fast enough on our biggest challenges. What if the missing piece isn't more effort, but a shared new focus? Emerging science reveals that healthy, water-retaining soil is one of nature's most powerful cooling systems — and that rehydrating our land can meaningfully reduce heat, revitalize ecosystems, and build lasting resilience for our city and region. This is the news we need to hear. The award-winning documentary REGENERATING LIFE presents the newest science on soil, water, and climate in a way that is both artful and deeply compelling. It reveals how rainfall is central to nature's cooling system — and how the health of our soil determines whether that system works. This is not abstract theory. It is actionable information, local, and urgently relevant to everything you are already doing. Meet the Expert: Didi Pershouse You will have the rare opportunity to hear from Didi Pershouse — a world-renowned soil and health researcher and one of the film's featured speakers. Didi Pershouse is well known as an innovative international educator both in-person and online. She is the founder of the Land and Leadership Initiative. Her facilitator's guide Understanding Soil Health and Watershed Function, is used in over 60 countries. Didi will join us live to share her insights, respond to audience questions, and help translate the science into practical steps you and our city can take together. Why This Moment Matters for Spokane This isn't just a film screening. It's the beginning of a city-wide conversation. Following the film and Q&A, attendees will gather in small groups to explore how to actively cool Spokane, rehydrate our land, and revitalize our soil — together. We believe this evening will spark new collaborations, new projects, and a shared commitment that will serve our community for generations. Your involvement brings Spokane's environmental leaders into the same room, aligned around a powerful and actionable vision. That is rare. That is powerful. And it starts here. Let's grow something extraordinary together.
