About this Event

We’re thrilled to host the Book Release Gathering at Kato Sake Brewery in Brooklyn.

The book When You Slow Down is a small journey accomplished with many hands and hearts before it lands in ours. From the very beginning—traveling, designing, editing, and printing—the process has been both humbling and joyful. Each step was shaped by thoughtful details and genuine passion, creating something that feels like more than just a book. Now, holding it in our hands, it truly feels like the work of many hearts moving as one.
