Stories & Music: Reflections on Wellness, Balance and Saving Lives
Thursday June 15, 2023 | Doors: 7pm | Event: 7:15 – 9pm | Whistler Public Library
We welcome CBC Radio journalist Gregor Craigie and his funny and moving novel Radio Jetlag, which is sure to have us thinking about work-life balance; Squamish writer and ethnobotanist Leigh Joseph, author of Held by the Land: A Guide to Indigenous Plants for Wellness, showing us how to build relationships with the plant life all around us; debut author Lisa Duncan, writer of memoir Chasing Africa: Fear Won’t Find Me Here, which tells the story of her extraordinary solo adventure across the wild landscapes of Africa while navigating family crises and illness; and Sunshine Coast writer Cathalynn Labonté-Smith, whose non-fiction book Rescue Me: Behind the Scenes of Search and Rescue, reveals real-life stories of the volunteers who rescue the injured and find those who are lost.
