PRESENTER: Celeste Colasurdo
Join us for a special book launch party honoring author Christine Colasurdo (1961–2021). Christine’s writings, including the beloved book Return to Spirit Lake reflect on her memories of Mount St. Helens and Spirit Lake before the eruption, and how her relationship with this place deepened as both she and the landscape healed after 1980. Now her twin sister, Celeste Colasurdo, is posthumously publishing Christine’s poetry collection, There is Always a Volcano Before You. Come celebrate Christine’s words, her love of the mountain, and the lasting connections we share with this remarkable place.
About the Venue: After many years away, we’re excited to return to Loowit Brewing in downtown Vancouver! This time we’ll be gathering in the main pub—a big step up from the back brewing space of years past. With its Mount St. Helens theme and longtime support of MSHI, Loowit is the perfect place to raise a glass and learn together.
