Meet the Author at Beaverdale Books

Sunday, October 4 • 2 pm
2629 Beaver Ave, Ste 1, Des Moines, IA

Living at the intersection of philosophy, spirituality, and culture, The Essential Ingredient: Remaking Ourselves in Times of Crisis is a frank conversation with the reader about what we have to change within ourselves in order to be ready to change the world. Drawn from insights gleaned from the ancient art of alchemy as well as some of the wisest thinkers of history and today, The Essential Ingredient isn't about magic as most people understand it. Instead, it's a meditation on the transformative power available when we open ourselves to the full spectrum of life's possibilities.

Society offers us very few options as we grow older. It might speak of aging gracefully, but what that really suggests is: stay quiet, small, and unobtrusive.
Yet, most people moving into their 50s and beyond will tell you that this time of life awakens parts of themselves that have lain dormant for years. In this life transition, they have a chance to do something so much greater than simply becoming older. They can choose to become elder.
Join Keri for a conversation on what elderhood can look like if we choose to see this stage as something to be revered, rather than feared.

Recclaiming the Sacred Transitions of Aging

Wednesday, November 4 • 7 – 9 pm

Anyone can grow older. It takes a special kind of commitment to become an elder. And if there was ever a time when society needed elders, it’s now.

Come explore aging from an alchemical perspective, where we discover how to transform our life experiences and hard-won lessons into wisdom.

Daisy Camp: The Alchemy Within Us

Saturday, November 14

In this workshop, we'll explore what it means to move through change without rushing to fix, explain, or return to a version of yourself that no longer fits. Drawing on inspiration from Keri's new book, The Essential Ingredient: Remaking Ourselves in Times of Crisis, we'll begin to reconnect with the part of you that knows how to navigate this period, drawing on generations of wisdom around transformation and renewal.

Book Reading at Big Hill Books

Saturday, September 26 • 2 – 3 pm

We are living in the most consequential timeline of modern human history. Likely the most stressful, too. How do we resist falling into complacency or numbness? How do we not get stuck in anxiety and panic loops? How do we stay wide awake anyway?

Explore these questions and see how today’s breakdown, uncertainty, and chaos make fertile ground for a better world.
