About this Event

I AM THE FLAME: An Evening of Reflection, Healing, and Hope

Step into the world of I AM THE FLAME with author, C. Cole, for an intimate evening of storytelling, guided reflection, and meaningful conversation. This gathering is designed for anyone ready to explore grief, resilience, and transformation, and to discover how pain can be turned into purpose and hope.

What to Expect:

  • Live Reading: Experience select passages from I AM THE FLAME that illuminate the journey of loss, healing, and awakening.
  • Guided Reflection: Engage in gentle, introspective exercises that invite you to connect with your own experiences and truths.
  • Conversation & Connection: Share insights, listen deeply, and be part of a supportive community in a safe, intimate setting.
  • Inspiration & Takeaways: Leave the evening grounded, uplifted, and inspired to step into your own light with intention.

This is more than a book event - it’s a reflective space for growth, healing, and connection. Seats are limited to maintain intimacy and allow for meaningful participation.

*Light refreshments and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.
