About this Event
This event is not a traditional author reading. Instead, it is an interactive community experience where guests will gather to breathe, reflect, laugh, connect, and explore practical ways to bring a little less stress into everyday life. Participants will experience mindfulness practices, conversation, and reflection in a welcoming community setting.
The original 2024 edition of our book made it into goodiebags at Yoga Games in Sweden, and was presented on the monring news in Washington, DC. Be among the first to get the 2027 updated edition!
