Join novelist, poet, and essayist Dale M. Kushner for a thoughtful and engaging conversation exploring journeys of self‑discovery, creativity, and inner wisdom on Friday, June 5 at 7 PM. Drawing from her acclaimed new book, Wild Freedom, Kushner invites readers into an intimate exploration of what it means to listen deeply to ourselves and move toward wholeness—especially in times of uncertainty, competing commitments, and even one’s own personal crisis.
Blending insight with warmth and humor, Kushner’s work offers simple yet powerful reflection on how we can tap into our innate wisdom and navigate life’s complexities with courage and compassion and curiosity. This session will include conversation, reflection, and audience Q&A, making it ideal for writers and readers drawn to literary fiction, memoir, spirituality, and personal growth.
