SUMMARY:On Awakening Your Inner Shaman
DESCRIPTION:The stress\, conflict\, and crises of the outer world are a signal: the time has come to awaken your inner shaman. However\, you don’t need to be initiated into concealed mysteries to answer the call from Spirit. Marcela Lobos\, one of the world’s most respected shamanic teachers\, teaches us how to use the maps offered by the shamanic Medicine Wheel and the hero’s journey to activate our inner wisdom and live a self-realized existence of discovery\, healing\, and wholeness. \nFrom her war-torn childhood\, her initiation with the shamans of the Andes\, and her life today as a teacher and medicine woman\, Marcela’s story offers flesh-and-bones context for each step on the archetypal journey to Self. Her story is also an invitation to step out of your ordinary life and take the first steps on your quest for spiritual understanding and deep transformation. \nJoin CIIS faculty Susana Bustos for a conversation with Marcela as she talks about her latest book\, Awakening Your Inner Shaman: A Woman’s Journey of Self-Discovery through the Medicine Wheel\, and learn to walk the Medicine Path to find your own power and inner beauty. \nPlease Note: This live online conversation will have ASL interpretation. \nFree\, suggested donation of $10. \nhttps://www.ciis.edu/public-programs/event-calendar/lobos-marcela-may-14-2021 ppforte@ciis.edu 415-575-6175

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Kristin Hersh and Black Francis
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, May 14 at 6pm PT when Kristin Hersh is joined by Black Francis to discuss her latest book\, Seeing Sideways: A Memoir of Music and Motherhood\, on Zoom!\n\nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89661762829\n\nAbout Seeing Sideways\nA sequel to the critically acclaimed Rat Girl\, this beautifully written memoir takes readers on an emotional journey through the author’s life as she reflects on thirty years of music and motherhood. Hersh’s follow up to the bookseller favorite\, Don’t Suck\, Don’t Die\n\nDoony\, Ryder\, Wyatt\, Bodhi. The names of Kristin Hersh’s sons are the only ones included in her new memoir\, Seeing Sideways. As the book unfolds and her sons’ voices rise from its pages\, it becomes clear why: these names tell the story of her life.\n\nThis story begins in 1990\, when Hersh is the leader of the indie rock group Throwing Muses\, touring steadily\, and the mother of a young son\, Doony. The chapters that follow reveal a woman and mother whose life and career grow and change with each of her sons: the story of a custody battle for Doony is told alongside that of Hersh’s struggles with her record company and the resulting PTSD; the tale of breaking free from her record label stands in counterpoint to her recounting of her pregnancy with Ryder; a period of writer’s block coincides with the development of Wyatt as an artist and the family’s loss of their home; and finally\, soon after Bodhi’s arrival\, Hersh and her boys face crises from which only strange angels can save them.\n\nPunctuated with her own song lyrics\, Seeing Sideways is a memoir about a life strange enough to be fiction\, but so raw and moving that it can only be real.\n\nAbout Kristin Hersh\nKristin Hersh is a solo artist and founding member of the bands Throwing Muses and 50 Foot Wave. She is the author of Don’t Suck\, Don’t Die: Giving Up Vic Chesnutt\, and Rat Girl\, which was named one of the ten best rock memoirs ever written by Rolling Stone.

SUMMARY:Rikki Ducornet and Jeff VanderMeer
DESCRIPTION:Jeff VanderMeer joins Rikki Ducornet for a conversation about her new novel\, Trafik (Coffee House Press). \n“Surrealism meets space opera in Trafik\, Rikki Ducornet’s startlingly original look at a post-human and non-human pairing wandering through space while obsessed with the scattered fragments of a world they never knew. At once funny and absurd\, Trafik peers at our own time through the lens of the future to reveal what we should regret losing and what would be better gone.” —Brian Evenson \nThis free event will be streamed on our Crowdcast channel. \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout Trafik\nFrom the singularly inventive mind of Rikki Ducornet\, Trafik is a buoyant voyage through outer space and inner longing\, transposing human experiences of passion\, loss\, and identity into a post-Earth universe. \nQuiver\, a mostly-human astronaut\, takes refuge from the monotony of harvesting minerals on remote asteroids by running through a virtual reality called the Lights\, chasing visions of an elusive red-haired beauty. Her high-strung robot partner\, Mic\, pilots their Wobble and entertains himself exploring his records of the obliterated planet Earth\, searching for Al Pacino trivia\, unfamiliar recipes\, and high fashion trends. But when an accident destroys their cargo\, Quiver and Mic go rogue\, setting off on a madcap journey through outer space towards an idyllic destination: the planet Trafik. \nAbout the writers\nRikki Ducornet is a transdisciplinary artist. Her work is animated by an interest in nature\, Eros\, tyranny and the transcendent capacities of the creative imagination. She is a poet\, fiction writer\, essayist\, and artist\, and her fiction has been translated into fifteen languages. Her art has been exhibited internationally\, most recently with Amnesty International’s traveling exhibit I Welcome\, focused on the refugee crisis. She has received numerous fellowships and awards including an Arts and Letters Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, the Bard College Arts and Letters Award\, the Prix Guerlain\, a Critics’ Choice Award\, and the Lannan Literary Award for Fiction. Her novel The Jade Cabinet was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. \nJeff VanderMeer is the author of Dead Astronauts\, Borne\, and The Southern Reach Trilogy\, the first volume of which\, Annihilation\, won the Nebula Award and the Shirley Jackson Award and was adapted into a movie by Alex Garland starring Natalie Portman. VanderMeer speaks and writes frequently about issues relating to climate change. He grew up in the Fiji Islands and now lives in Tallahassee\, Florida\, with his wife\, Ann VanderMeer\, and their cats\, plants\, and bird feeders.
