SUMMARY:Book Signing: Boulder Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Charlotte Rotterdam and Pieter Oosthuizen will speak about and sign their new book\, Skymind: The Radical Path of Open Awareness\, on Tuesday\, July 28th at 6:30pm\, at Boulder Bookstore. Tickets for this event are $5 (plus a small processing fee) and are available on Eventbrite HERE. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book: Amid life’s relentless challenges\, uncertainties\, and endless striving\, how do we find a sense of ease\, clarity\, and connection? Skymind offers a way to step back from life’s constant push and pull and discover the spaciousness and wholeness that has always been within you. Inspired by the revolutionary teachings of Machig Labdrön\, an 11th-century Tibetan yogini who pioneered a radical approach to inner freedom\, this book introduces Skymind meditation—a practice that helps you cultivate clarity\, compassion\, and resilience by resting in the sky-like nature of your mind. Through simple exercises\, contemplations\, and Machig’s powerful verses\, you’ll be guided to meet life’s challenges with courage and radical acceptance. These teachings invite you to embrace every part of your experience—even the emotions and thoughts you’d rather avoid—and discover the freedom that comes from including everything in your awareness. Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner\, Skymind offers profound insights and practical tools to help you live with authenticity\, ease\, and a heart as vast as the sky. \n\n\n\nIMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION \n\n\n\n\nTickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee).\n\n\n\nA coupon good for $5 off a copy of Skymind*\,* or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.
