SUMMARY:Julie Akins talks about her book "Bone Deep: Love and Survival in a Broken Healthcare System"
DESCRIPTION:Monday October 26th 7:00 to 8:00 pm \nWhen everything collapses at once\, survival becomes an act of love. \nAfter Julie Akins‘s husband\, Leo\, suffers a devastating stroke\, she becomes his caregiver\, advocate\, and lifeline. Then Julie’s own body begins to fail. A specialist raises the possibility of a slow-moving cancer\, but no one provides a clear diagnosis or coordinated path forward. As her town burns and her career as mayor of Ashland\, Oregon\, begins to unravel\, Julie finds herself trapped between public responsibility and private catastrophe\, fighting for two lives inside a healthcare system defined by delay\, fragmentation\, and indifference. \nAt Mayo Clinic\, after nearly two years of uncertainty\, Julie finally receives an answer: she does not have terminal cancer. She has a treatable mast cell disorder. The news offers relief\, but it also exposes a devastating question: Why should attentive\, coordinated care feel like a miracle? \nDrawing on her experience as a journalist\, public official\, patient\, caregiver\, and Zen practitioner\, Julie connects her family’s struggle to the wider forces of medical debt\, homelessness\, aging\, and institutional collapse. Yet Bone Deep is more than an indictment of American healthcare. It is an intimate account of a partnership transformed by illness and a woman discovering that even when certainty\, security\, and identity fall away\, something essential can remain. \nRaw\, searching\, and ultimately luminous\, Bone Deep: Love and Survival in a Broken Healthcare System is for anyone who has feared that one terrible moment could become a lifelong struggle-and anyone who has learned that sometimes love is not merely what helps us survive. It is what survival is for.

SUMMARY:Louisa Morgan talks about her New Novel - "The Faerie Handmaid"
DESCRIPTION:Thursday November 5th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nWhen it’s revealed that the new king of Camelud is cursed\, Braithe\, handmaid to the most powerful priestess in the realm must travel to the land of the fae to break the curse\, but to do so Braithe must step out of her mentor’s shadow and into her power\, in this bewitching coming of age tale from Louisa Morgan. \nWhen Braithe was left as an acolyte on the Isle of Apples\, she never dreamed she’d become handmaid to Morgana\, the most powerful priestess in all of Camelud\, but now she is content to live out her days in service to the Priestess. But when a powerful mage comes to Morgana and Braithe with concerns that the new king of Camelud is being cursed by powerful magic\, the two must journey to the White City deep in fae country to investigate.\nThe magical city is nothing like Braithe imagined and the fae are cold and callous toward humans and quick to bewitch. Despite the constant threat of danger\, Braithe just may be the key to discovering who is cursing the king\, but to do so she will have to step into her own power. \nThis is a sequel to Faerie Morgana one of our favorites!  Louisa Morgan lives in Southern Oregon and is the author of many novels including The Secret History of Witches.

SUMMARY:Kristina Hunter and Ana Holub Discuss How to Bring Discernment to Psychedelic Healing: Two Authors in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Thursday November 19th 6:30 to 8:00 pm \nWhen is psychedelic medicine an appropriate exploration\, and when is it not? Psychedelic healing is suddenly everywhere\, from legal psilocybin in Oregon and Colorado to a federal executive order directing the FDA to fast-track psychedelic medicines and putting $50 million behind state programs. More people than ever are asking whether this path is for them\, and most arrive with more hope than accurate information. \nJoin two local authors for an evening on preparation\, discernment\, and knowing when psychedelics are the right path of healing and when they aren’t. \nKristina Hunter is the author of The Psychedelic Seeker’s Guide: How to Prepare Wisely\, Journey Safely\, and Find Your Medicine (North Atlantic Books). She’s spent fifteen years sitting beside journeyers and three years training facilitators in UC Berkeley’s Psychedelic Facilitation Certificate Program. Her book is a plain-language guide for newcomers: how to prepare\, how to find and interview a facilitator\, and how to tell a well-trained guide from an undertrained one. \nAna Holub is a forgiveness counselor and licensed psilocybin facilitator working locally in Oregon’s legal program. She is the author of Forgive and Be Free\, praised by Anne Lamott. Her book offers a step-by-step path through forgiveness as deep healing work\, with or without psychedelics. \nConversation\, audience questions\, and a book signing to follow.
