About This Event

with cultural historian Lori Rotskoff and meditation teacher Cheryl Brause

Tuesday, November 17, 7:00–8:30 pm ET, at J. Anderson’s Books in Larchmont, NY

Before the holidays pick up speed, take an evening to slow down and notice what you’re grateful for. Cultural historian Lori Rotskoff and Pause to be Present co-founder Cheryl Brause lead a lively conversation about gratitude, joy, connection, and wonder, guided by a hand-picked selection of books spanning personal growth, memoir, nonfiction, and poetry.

Along the way, you’ll pick up practical ways to savor the people, moments, and experiences that bring meaning to everyday life. Mingle with other guests, browse the shelves, and enjoy fall-inspired light bites, mocktails, and desserts. The evening closes with a short guided meditation from Cheryl, focused on gratitude and the calming power of the breath.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

  • Drinks and light bites
  • The interactive book presentation and discussion
  • A “surprise” book to take home, related to the evening’s theme
  • 10% off any additional book purchases that night

Space is limited.
