Community Calendar

Throughout the month of July 2026, in alignment with America’s 250th Anniversary, dozens of community spaces across the country are inviting local audiences to participate in the third annual Better Together Film Festival. The festival aims to shift the culture of the country away from division and hatred, and toward cohesion and hope.

In Billings, Montana, in collaboration with the local nonprofits, resident Abigail Weidmer is hosting a free screening of My Omaha at Grace Pavilion, 24 S 29th St on July 16 at 6:30 p.m.

Set in Omaha, Nebraska — where the legacies of Malcolm X, racial segregation, and political division still shape everyday life — My Omaha follows filmmaker Nick Beaulieu as he documents his city’s racial justice movement while attempting to reconnect with his terminally ill father Randy, a staunch Trump supporter. Watch the trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8RV4X59WFg.

Community members are invited to attend the screening event and stick around for the conversation that will inspire strength and spark connections across differences. Please register to attend at https://spark.pluralitymap.com/events/better-together-film-festival-my-omaha.

Bozeman Dharma Center in collaboration with Bozeman Insight Community with be hosting our second residential retreat at Camp Mimanagish with teachers Dave and Shannon Smith.

During this silent retreat, we will develop practices that unite the heart and the mind. By combining the Four Foundations of Mindfulness with the practice of Metta, we learn to balance moment-to-moment awareness with the qualities of kindness, care, joy, and equanimity. As your body and mind start to settle, a natural, intuitive wisdom begins to emerge—a process that helps shift your energy toward a sense of wholesome intention and genuine contentment.

The retreat offers a supportive space grounded in a field of kind awareness. The teaching style is a hybrid of two traditions—the "Progress of Insight" and "Natural Awareness"—giving you a well-tested framework for practice. The program includes meditation instruction, Dharma teachings, and small group discussions for processing whatever arises in practice.

All are welcome to attend, regardless of previous meditation experience.
