Writing And Your Health with Dr. Abby Caplin
Begins this Sunday, May 18th
Research has shown that the writing process is useful as a therapeutic tool for people living with medical conditions. This unique writing workshop is designed for those with healthcare concerns who would like to share their experience through writing. Dr. Abby Caplin, a physician specializing in Mind-Body Medicine, will guide participants through a process of reflection, allowing time for writing and sharing if desired. No writing experience is necessary; just come with an open mind and a notebook. Space is limited to a maximum of eight people, so register early!
Michael Chabon will read and discuss his novel, The
Yiddish Policemen’s Union
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay pens an homage to the stylish menace of 1940s noir, in a novel that imagines if Alaska, not Israel, had become the homeland for the Jews after World War II.
20% off all books, cards, and gifts! This is a great opportunity to stock up on books for summer reading, as well as choose a gift for Dad (Father's Day is June 15th).
Jack Kornfield will read and discuss his novel, The
Wise Heart: A Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology
"The Wise Heart is Jack Kornfield at his most wonderful and
illuminating. He brings to life a way to understand and cultivate
mindfulness, compassion, loving kindness and true wisdom that penetrates
to
the core of what liberation is all about."
"His best book yet ... Kornfield comes across as the therapist you
wish you'd had ... Provides convincing and illustrative anecdotes and
stories, and reaches into the world traditions, and literature as well as
contemporary scientific research."
