Events
Robert Moss will speak about and sign his new book, Dreaming the Soul Back Home, on Thursday, July 12th at 7:30pm.
About the book:
The greatest contribution of the ancient shamans to modern healing is the understanding that in the course of any life we are liable to suffer soul loss—the loss of parts of our vital energy and identity—and that to be whole and well, we must find the means of soul recovery. Dreaming the Soul Back Home teaches that our dreams give us maps we can use to find and bring home our lost or stolen soul parts. Robert Moss shows us how to recover animal spirits and ride the windhorse of spirit to places of healing and adventure in the larger reality. We discover how to heal ancestral wounds and open the way for cultural soul recovery.
Vouchers to attend are $5 and get you $5 off the author’s featured book or a purchase on the day of the event. Vouchers can be purchased in advance, over the phone, or at the door.

In this transcendent memoir, Joy Harjo, one of our leading Native American voices, details her journey to becoming a poet.

Narrating the complexities of betrayal and love, Crazy Brave is a memoir about family and the breaking apart necessary in finding a voice. Harjo 's tale of a hardscrabble youth, young adulthood, and transformation into an award-winning poet and musician is haunting, unique, and visionary.

Peter Heller will speak about and sign his new book, The Dog Stars, on Thursday, August 9th at 7:30pm.
About the book:
Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife is gone, his friends are dead, he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog. His only neighbor is a gun-toting misanthrope. In his 1956 Cessna, Hig flies the perimeter of the airfield or sneaks off to the mountains to fish and to pretend that things are the way they used to be. But when a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life—something like his old life—exists beyond the airport. From local author Peter Heller, The Dog Stars is a breathtaking story about what it means to be human.
