Living with Death was created by the End-of-Life Doulas of Idaho to help the community have education, conversation and support about living and dying. It's always an evening of open discussion and practical insights. The topic changes each month. Come join us for an open, honest conversation.

Join local professor and historian Bob Reinhardt for a discussion on the human history behind the West's hydropower landscape. Throughout the twentieth century, hundreds of communities across the American West vanished beneath reservoirs — displaced by massive dam projects built for irrigation, hydroelectricity, and flood control. As part of our Keep Boise Cool Energy and Buildings series, Bob will explore how displaced communities responded to their removal, what was lost, and what it means to call the West home.
