About this Event

Book Launch with Dr. Jaiya John

Beloved Community!

We are so thrilled to be hosting the worldwide book launch for Dr. Jaiya John’s newest book of poetic soul medicine, Wildflowers Praying at Midnight.

This will be an warm, intimate, and heart-full book event, with readings from Dr. John, community discussion, Q&A, as well as an opportunity for signing and photos. We will have a selection of Dr. John’s other works available for purchase.



ABOUT THE BOOK

Wildflowers Praying at Midnight is Jaiya John's newest collection of poetic verses, rich with stories, prayers, devotions, affirmations, incantations, soul summoning, and mystic dreaming. For longtime and new readers of Jaiya John, Wildflowers provides fresh medicine for a humanity moving through profound collective harm, reckoning, revelation, and revival. In a voice both ancestral and prophetic, each page offers a lush garden of spiritual and social blooming. Nourishing salve and balm for this moment and beyond. Pollinated and nectar-rich in John's customary Love-soaked language, this soul-stirring collection confronts all forms of oppression at their often-avoided root. Wildflowers Praying at Midnight soothes and guides your tender heart and our kindred way forward.
