About The Alchemy of Flowers : Exhausted by fruitless attempts to make a family, Eloise takes the chance of a lifetime to answer an ad in a French gardening magazine. To fly away from her life in the States and tend to both her shattered heart and the flowers of Paradise. But why are the workers forbidden from going out during dusk? Who is the "Goddess of the Garden"? Is her mind playing tricks on her, or does she see a woodsprite flitting through the trees? The giggles and glimpses of a little girl haunt her and make her question: What is real in Paradise and what is illusion? The Alchemy of Flowers is an enchanting, modern-day take on The Secret Garden , sprinkled with magic. About In the Beautiful Dark : At Sunny Pines Retirement Community, where the "Sixty-Two and Better " share their golden years, secrets abound. For Birdie Allen, a retired business owner and grandmother, her secret is the only thing she's got left. Getting old isn't the hardest part about life. It's the memories from more than fifty years ago of the death of her unrequited love. And Birdie's abandoned quest to root out the killer. When Birdie ties together a string of recent murders, and a woman disappears, she's drawn into the same chase she gave up decades earlier. But this time she has the help of an eccentric community of eager new friends. And they're not alone. Restless souls are watching, including Birdie's lost love, and they sense the danger that lies ahead. Will Birdie's pursuit of a killer finally free her of regrets and allow her to embrace the beauty of the life she's created? _______________ IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION *Tickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee). *A coupon good for $5 off a copy of The Alchemy of Flowers or In the Beautiful Dark , or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.

Curtis Duffy will speak about and sign his new book, Fireproof: Memoir of a Chef , on Thursday, August 14th at 6:30pm, at Boulder Bookstore. He will be in conversation with Kirk T. Bachmann for this special event. About the Book: Fireproof charts Chef Curtis Duffy’s rise in spite of trauma, to being mentored by and recognized among the world’s top chefs. Amid childhood chaos in rural Ohio, a young Duffy first found refuge in Home Ec class, then at one of Columbus’s best restaurants, where he honed his skills. His passion ignited, Duffy was dead set on leaving Ohio and breaking the Duffy family curse. But the tragic deaths of his parents jeopardized his promising trajectories. Summoning extraordinary fortitude, Duffy ate pain, graduated culinary school, and moved to Chicago to work in Chef Charlie Trotter’s kitchen—a hotbed of talent that produced prominent alumni such as Grant Achatz, Graham Elliot, and Homaro Cantu. Inspired by stellar peers and staging for Thomas Keller at the French Laundry, Duffy’s drive only grew. His meteoric rise would cost him a marriage—the price of ambition, focus, and Grace restaurant. Grace earned three Michelin stars four years in a row, solidifying Duffy’s place as one of the world’s greatest culinary artists. But in a heartbreaking act of defiance, Duffy walked out after disputes with Grace’s owner. Unstoppable, Duffy created Ever restaurant—a launch nearly derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Duffy persisted where many others would have resigned their craft, and Ever earned two Michelin stars from 2021-2024. Duffy was ranked one of the “50 Most Powerful People in American Fine Dining” in 2024 by the Robb Report. _______________ IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION *Tickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee). *A coupon good for $5 off a copy of Fireproof, or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.

He will be in conversation with Boulder Bookstore's Arsen Kashkashian and KGNU's Maeve Conran in a live recording of the Boulder Bookstore and KGNU Radio Book Club. About the Book: “There Is Life on the Planet Mars” — New York Times , December 9, 1906 This New York Times headline was no joke. In the early 1900s, many Americans actually believed we had discovered intelligent life on Mars, as best-selling science writer David Baron chronicles in The Martians , his truly bizarre tale of a nation swept up in Mars mania. Today, the red planet maintains its grip on the public’s imagination. Many see Mars as civilization’s destiny—the first step toward our becoming an interplanetary species—but, as David Baron demonstrates, this tendency to project our hopes onto the world next door is hardly new. The Martians is a scintillating and necessary reminder that while we look to Mars for answers, what we often find are mirrors of ourselves. _______________ IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION *There are two registration types available for this event: -FREE REGISTRATION with advance registration required. -FREE REGISTRATION WITH BOOK - For $15.00 (plus tax and a small fee) get a free ticket to the event, plus a copy of The Martians for 50% off.

Casey Johnston will speak about and sign her new book, A Physical Education: How I Escaped Diet Culture and Gained the Power of Lifting , on Wednesday, August 27th at 6:30pm, at Boulder Bookstore. About the Book: A Physical Education traces Casey Johnston's journey from calorie restriction and obsessive cardio—making herself small in almost every way—to the (unexpected) healing she found through the practice of lifting weights. As she progresses with weight training, she finds simple things like carrying groceries and closing heavy doors become easier. But the changes aren't just physical. She begins to question how she has treated her body, and what it means about how she sees herself. Combining wit, rage, and a reporter's eye for detail Johnston embarks on a mission to figure out why so many of us spend our lives trying to "get healthy" in ways that actively make our bodies weaker. On her way, she offers up a scathing take-down of diet culture, dives deep into the science of building muscle, and describes how she learned the process of rupture, rest, and repair— not just within her cells and muscles, but also within her spirit. A love letter to female strength, this is a book for anyone who's ever longed to return home to their own body. _______________ IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION *Tickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee). *A coupon good for $5 off a copy of A Physical Education , or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.

The procedure is quite simple and the HA used is safe as the human body produces the exact same acid, it is pretty impossible that anyone would get any sort of allergic reaction or complication from the HA itself. The more Hyaluronic Acid there is inside the Epidermis layer of the skin, the more water is retained keeping its moisture and making the appearance of the skin more youthful. Hyaluron Pen … applies HA. How much can you charge for the procedure? Based on your state, area of location and techniques you do.

Samuel Marquis will speak about and sign his new book, Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal , on Wednesday, June 11th at 6:30pm, at Boulder Bookstore. About the Book: Captain William Kidd stands as one of the most notorious “pirate” outlaws ever, but his legend is tainted by a bed of lies. Having captivated imaginations for more than three hundred years and inspired many stories about pirates, troubling questions remain. Was he really a criminal, or is the truth more inconvenient: that he was a buccaneer’s worst nightmare, a revered pirate hunter turned fall guy for scheming politicians? In Captain Kidd , his ninth-great-grandson, bestselling author Samuel Marquis, reveals the real story. Kidd was an English American privateer and leading New York husband and father. The King of England himself dubbed Kidd “trusty and well-beloved,” and some historians describe him as a “worthy, honest-hearted, steadfast, much -enduring sailor” who was the “victim of a deliberate travesty of justice.” With honors far more esteemed than the menacing Blackbeard, or any other sea rover at the turn of the seventeenth century, how can Kidd be considered both gentleman and pirate, both hero and villain? Marquis’s biography recreates Kidd’s perilous world of explosive naval warfare and the daring integrity he exemplified as a pirate hunter, as well as the political scandal that entangled Kidd in British–American history, rocking the New World and the Old, and threatening England’s valuable trade with India. Captain Kidd is both thrilling and tragic. Behind the legend is a real man woven into the tapestry of early America, rendering him a unique colonial hero and scapegoat whose life story was fascinating, exciting, bizarre, and heartrending. _______________ IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION *Tickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee). *A coupon good for $5 off a copy of Captain Kidd , or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket. You will receive this coupon at the event. *Please note: our events are held on the second floor. To request a reasonable accommodation or discuss your needs, contact BBSVirtualevents@gmail.com.

Join us for a relaxing and rejuvenating journey within, as we create an alchemical blend of instruments, songs, shamanic and energetic healing techniques. Each sound ceremony is different and highly improvisational based on the energy in the room. Enjoy a truly unique, heart-opening experience with crystal and metal singing bowls, didgeridoos, gongs, handpans, native flutes, drums, sacred songs and more.

Each participant will often recieve direct energy work, either with instruments, song, plant brushings, or gentle hands-on healing techniques. Prasad and Alyssa have been doing this work together for over a decade and are delighted to hold and co-create this safe and nourishing container. We are dedicated to bringing healing, love, compassion and well-being into the world. Our deepest prayer is to help people awaken, to remember their power and intrinsic ability to heal themselves. (A portion of the proceeds from this each event are donated, in reciprocity, to a nonprofit in support of healing Mother Earth &/or humanitarian efforts.) Please bring your own yoga mat, blankets, pillows, eye mask,water; whatever you need to be comfortable. ***Space is limited, and we encourage you to buy your tickets in advance. *** Please arrive 10-15 minutes early, so we may start promptly at 6:30. What’s A Sound Bath? Also commonly referred to as sound healing or a sound journey, it is similar to a guided meditation, where you can relax and receive as the sounds/music washes over you. Music is played on a variety of instruments along with intention and prayer. It is a wonderful support for stress relief, depression, fatigue, anxiety/overwhelm, feelings of separation and loneliness, and better sleep. The resonating sounds of the instruments promote theta brain waves, which facilitate meditation and deep relaxation. Listeners often experience a sense of connectedness and peace as the sounds offer access to parts of the mind that are usually untapped, resulting in a sense of expanded awareness and higher consciousness. Sound healing can help to rebalance and bring harmony to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. About Alyssa Clemenzi: Alyssa is an Earth-Centered Healing practitioner, ceremonialist and folk herbalist. She has been studying various forms of the healing arts for over 17 years, including traditional Yucatec Maya healing, herbalism and plant medicine, crystal and sound healing, Reiki, shamanic energy work and journeying, and Nature-based ceremony and ritual. She walks this sacred path, as an intuitive guide and a life-long student, with deep reverence, honor and curiosity. She is passionate about being of service to this beautiful Planet and in assisting others in remembering and aligning with their truest Self. She brings her gifts to this world through song, dance, prayer, plants and medicine making, creating beauty and care-taking the Earth and waters. About Prasad Katz: Prasad is a talented multi-instrumentalist, drum circle facilitator (Boulder Drum Circle) & teacher. His musical journey began in 2013 when inspired by a profound experience with the healing songs (icaro) of a South American shaman. Prasad felt a deep knowing that he must “find his song”. Since then he has acquired a vast & diverse collection of sound healing tools. These instruments have been his greatest spiritual teachers & he aspires to "get out of the way", allowing their medicine to flow through him when playing. Nature is one of his greatest musical inspirations & he developed his sound in large part while playing to the trees, rivers & land around him. His passion for music, and his kind, nurturing spirit shine through in his soundscapes & songs. Prasad approaches his sound journeys like a guided meditation; providing attendees an opportunity to relax, unwind & go deep within. His focus is to create a safe & supportive container, both physically & musically, which encourages listeners in a self-healing process. He loves to teach & assist others in their musical development. He is available for lessons, collaborations, public as well as private & corporate events. Prasad’s nature inspired sound journeys allow listeners to unwind, assists in their deep inner work & leaves them inspired & refreshed. Information Source: Sound Rise Alchemy | eventbrite

Ikebana began with Ikenobo and although over 550 years many other schools have branched off from Ikenobo, Ikenobo is said to be the origin of ikebana. Ikenobo’ s history encompasses both the traditional and the modern, the two continually interacting to encourage new development in today’s ikebana. People in every era have loved flowers, but our predecessors in ikebana felt that flowers were not only beautiful but that they could reflect the passing of time and the feelings in their own hearts. When we sense plant’s unspoken words and silent movements we intensify our impressions through form, a form which becomes ikebana. We arrange plants cut and removed from nature so that they are filled with new beauty when placed in a new environment. Rather than simply re-create the shape a plant had in nature, we create with branches, leaves, and flowers a new form which holds our impression of a plant’s beauty as well as the mark of our own spirit. Ikebana should also suggest the forces of nature with which plants live in harmony - branches bent by winter winds ... a leaf half-eaten by insects. Ikenobo considers not only an open flower but also a flower’s bud beautiful, for within the bud is the energy of life’s opening toward the future. Past, present, future ... in each moment plants, and humans, respond to an ever-changing environment. Together with plants, humans are vital parts of nature and our arranging ikebana expresses this awareness. More information about the school can be found at IKENOBO ORIGIN OF IKEBANA www.ikenobo.jp/english/ Instructor Dan Agnese. – Un no’ Soden Don Hana Kaze Dan has been a member of Ikenobo for over 30 years and currently holds the highest allowable title bestowed upon him by the Headmaster Sen’ei Ikenobo in 2021. There are only four individuals in the United States who hold this high-ranking title. In addition, the Japanese Government has bestowed upon Dan the designation of “important cultural activity” for his efforts and outreach in Ikenobo in the US. No other US individual currently holds this honor. Dan is also president of the Ikenobo Ikebana Society of America Colorado Chapter and is fluent in Japanese culture and practices; and teaches in clear concise English. You will enjoy all the camaraderie in the class, interesting stories, and anecdotes. The classes are designed to be an enjoyable experience where all participants working together as a community for a common goal of learning Ikenobo. Come join the fun!
