SUMMARY:Michelle Ruiz Keil / Summer in the City of Roses

More to be announced soon\, but save the date and join us! \nThis event is free and all ages\, but RSVP is required. Event link will be sent to everyone who registers. \nYou can order Summer in the City of Roses here and we’ll ship it directly to you (or hold for pickup at our San Francisco shop). \nWe are happy to fulfill orders anywhere in the world – international postage will be invoiced separately. If you have any questions at all\, don’t hesitate to contact events@booksmith.com. \nAbout the book\nInspired by the Greek myth of Iphigenia and the Grimm fairy tale “Brother and Sister\,” Michelle Ruiz Keil’s second novel follows two siblings torn apart and struggling to find each other in early ’90s Portland. \n All her life\, seventeen-year-old Iph has protected her sensitive younger brother\, Orr. But this summer\, with their mother gone at an artist residency\, their father decides it’s time for fifteen-year-old Orr to toughen up at a wilderness boot camp. When their father brings Iph to a work gala in downtown Portland and breaks the news\, Orr has already been sent away against his will. Furious at her father’s betrayal\, Iph storms off and gets lost in the maze of Old Town. Enter George\, a queer Robin Hood who swoops in on a bicycle\, bow and arrow at the ready\, offering Iph a place to hide out while she tracks down Orr. \nOrr\, in the meantime\, has escaped the camp and fallen in with The Furies\, an all-girl punk band\, and moves into the coat closet of their ramshackle pink house. In their first summer apart\, Iph and Orr must learn to navigate their respective new spaces of music\, romance\, and sex-work activism—and find each other before a fantastical transformation fractures their family forever. \nTold through a lens of magical realism and steeped in myth\, Summer in the City of Roses is a dazzling tale about the pain and beauty of growing up. \n\nAbout the author\nMichelle Ruiz Keil is a Latinx writer and tarot reader with an eye for the enchanted and a way with animals. Her critically acclaimed debut novel\, All of Us With Wings\, was called “a transcendent journey” by The New York Times. A San Francisco Bay Area native\, Michelle has lived in Portland\, Oregon\, for many years. She curates the fairytale reading series All Kinds of Fur and lives with her family in a cottage where the forest meets the city.

SUMMARY:On Psychedelic Integration and Existential Exploration
DESCRIPTION:With the second renaissance and re-emergence of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy\, the general public and therapists alike are confronted with new areas of exploration\, but with few systematic frameworks available. Questions surrounding legal access to care\, ongoing criminalization\, and medical restrictions to care limiting the therapies available\, the immediate future of psychedelic-assisted therapy remains shrouded in uncertainty\, even in the face of expanding interest. On the cusp of this new era-one of excitement but also uncertainty-one of many ways to explore this emerging landscape is through the lens of the psychospiritual and the therapeutic uses of psychedelics. \nJoin clinical psychologist\, founder of the Center for Existential Exploration\, and author Dr. Kile Ortigo and licensed clinical social worker\, psychotherapist\, and social justice advocate Mary Sanders for a conversation on the psychospiritual and therapeutic use of psychedelics\, which includes the process of psychedelic integration. Sharing insights from his latest book\, Beyond the Narrow Life\, Dr. Ortigo discusses the shared elements of intersecting complexities and possibilities surrounding questions regarding legal access to care\, ongoing criminalization\, and medical restrictions to care which limit the therapies available. Dr. Ortigo examines themes elicited by the psychospiritual and therapeutic use of psychedelics through several frameworks\, from third-wave cognitive-behavioral therapy to Jungian depth psychology\, existentialism to scientific understandings of the cosmos\, and mindfulness and compassion focused traditions to popular and secular culture. \nDr. Ortigo offers deepened wisdom into psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration through his unique approach of connecting to the greater mysteries and concerns of the human experience. \nFree\, suggested donation of $20. \nhttps://www.ciis.edu/public-programs/event-calendar/ortigo-kile-august-26-2021 publicprograms@ciis.edu 415-575-6175
