Mark on August 18 – Jaimal Yogis
Our first event will feature Jaimal Yogis, the author of The Saltwater Buddha and The Fear Project. Jaimal is the author of the bestsellers Saltwater Buddha – a comedic coming-of-age memoir about how surfing and the sea helped him transition back into the world after a year in a Zen monastery. He also authored The Fear Project, which looks at the neuroscience of fear and courage, using science, mindfulness, and sports to reveal ways in which humans can live more fully. Saltwater Buddha has been adapted into a feature documentary that recently opened in select theaters and film festivals.
Food and cocktails will be provided by award winning chefs Ed Kenney & Dave Caldiero of Mud Hen Water and Town Kaimuki. Ocean Vodka is graciously providing us with spirits!
The ocean photography of Rafael Bergstrom will be on display.
The first Books & Spirits event will be held at Revolusun Smart Home in Kaka’ako at 210 Ward Ave the evening of August 18. (Map). Mahalo Revolusun Smart Home for making the space available!
You can register for the event on Eventbrite. There are a limited number of early admission tickets for an intimate cocktail hour with the author before the main event. Details are available on the registration page.
