September 18: Living with an Expansive Mind in a Distracted World–with Nate Klemp, PhD – New York Times bestselling author and philosopher Nate Klemp helps us explore pathways back to openminded living when he talks virtually to us about the core tenets in his new book Open: Living with an Expansive Mind in a Distracted World.  Drawing on personal stories, scientific findings, and traditional wisdom, Klemp explores why we close down when faced with stressors or threats―then reveals why training ourselves to fully engage even with discomfort, pain, and sadness leads to greater well-being in the long run.  

September 21: A Deep Dive in Character Development with Global Sensation Liane Moriarty – If you knew your future, would you try to fight fate? If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny? Join us as we chat virtually with mega-bestselling author Liane Moriarty about her newest novel Here One Moment. Moriarty’s Here One Moment is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny, grief and love, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world.
