Community Calendar

Immerse yourself in a transformative 90-minute sound healing journey designed to bring harmony to your mind, body, and soul. These intimate experiences are far more than simply receiving sound — they are a sacred opportunity to reconnect with your inner self, quiet the noise of everyday life, and embrace the healing energy that resides within you.

This offering invites you to come with intention — to show up fully present and open to the experience. Whether your intention is clarity, release, or a deeper connection to your spirit, this is a space to tune in and listen to what your soul is asking for. Sound becomes the guide, but it’s your willingness to connect that opens the path to healing.

Spaces are intentionally limited to maintain the intimacy and depth of the experience, so reserve your spot today. Allow yourself to pause, reset, and step back into life feeling grounded, refreshed, and aligned.

Spokane Community College’s Latin and Native American Student Organizations and the Center for Inclusion and Diversity (CID) in partnership with local artist and composer, Duch 1-1, are proud to present A Possible Dream. Starring Napolean Dynamite’s Efren Ramirez, this 2 and half hour production showcases the obstacles and possibilities of multicultural communities and immigrants in pursuit of the American dream and takes an introspective look into the life of Efren Ramirez, a first generation Latin American raised by immigrants in east Los Angeles.

Possible dreams, hope, and love are the at forefront this event, inspired by the love and life stories of (LASO/NASO) club members and students as well as Efren Ramirez and supporting performers.

Love is instilled in this event because it’s instilled in our student community, our artists, our current and future scholars, and our local community from the indigenous lands we exist on. These are the gifts that led us to this special event with Mr. Efren Ramirez.

The momentum and purpose of this event is to inspire empowerment to communities from all walks of life that are often overseen and is intended as an avocation for love, community, and visibility. Through art and voices, this occasion carries a theme to support the perspectives that may not easily be garnered.

Actor Efren Ramirez, known for his roles in Napolean Dynamite, Lightyear, and Employee of the Month, will perform with a heartfelt message and present at Spokane Community College’s Lair Auditorium on May 15th, 2025 at 11:30 a.m.

The show will open with special performances from local tribal members welcoming Mr. Ramirez. Followed by an enchanting set of original music written and curated for the event, DUCH 1-1 and accompanying band will set the tone for this Hollywood star headlined event that will surely be a commemorable moment in Spokane’s Community College's entertainment and cultural history.

Other performers for the event will include tribal leaders and Latinx entertainers, Lacey Bacon Abrahamson, Tanisha Rattler, Josiah Begay, Isaac Tonasket, Hermano Kuya (mariachi band), Spokane Colleges amazing students.

All that has been created and shared for A Possible Dream stems from a collective heart for the earth, ancestors, and our community. It is about the people, about humanity and creating art that fulfills societal voids.

A Possible Dream is a free all ages event open to the public with priority seating reserved for SCC and SFCC students.
