SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Mindful Meditations with Christiane Wolf
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly mindfulness meditations. Whether you are new to meditation or already have experience we welcome you to this community sit in the beautiful A-Frame Theater of the Wende Museum’s Glorya Kaufman Community Center \nYou do not have to join all sessions but can join as your schedule allows. \nWhat is mindfulness? Mindfulness is being fully present to your life instead of being on autopilot. Our mind tends to rehash the past and to rehearse the future. There is nothing wrong with that except that it does it too much and it keeps us from being with what is actually happening right in this moment. We can feel like life is passing us by and we miss a lot of good moments with family and friends\, in nature and just throughout the day. When we are present we become better listeners and observers and will make better choices\, big and small. People who regularly practice mindfulness meditation report overall stress levels going down and being able to deal with whatever comes their way in a better\, healthier way. They also feel more connected and more joyful. \nWe practice this through mindfulness meditation where we train the mind to stay with an anchor\, like the sensations of the breath. Eventually the mind will calm down and so will the body. We learn tools to be with a busy mind\, challenging emotions\, and even physical pain. We can access peace\, calm and joy that arises independently of what’s going on in our lives at this time. \nThe guest teacher for this installment is Dr. Allyson Pimentel. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd. Limited floor space is first come\, first serve. Please arrive early as RSVP does not guarentee admission to this free program.

SUMMARY:Easy Rawlins and Beyond: In Conversation with Walter Mosley
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Wende Museum on October 8th to celebrate the release of Walter Mosley’s newest novel\, Gray Dawn! \nWalter will discuss his work\, iconic characters\, and influential career alongside novelist Gary Phillips. Don’t miss two of the biggest and best crime fiction authors working today in this historic venue! \nAbout the participants: \nWalter Mosley is one of America’s most celebrated writers. He was given the 2020 National Book Award’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters\, named a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America\, and honored with the Anisfield-Wolf Award\, a Grammy\, a PEN USA Lifetime Achievement Award\, the Robert Kirsch Award\, numerous Edgars\, and several NAACP Image Awards. His work has been translated into twenty-five languages. He has published fiction and nonfiction in The New Yorker\, Playboy\, and The Nation. As an executive producer\, he adapted his novel The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey for AppleTV+. He co-wrote the adaptation of his novel The Man in My Basement to stream on Hulu\, and he served as a writer and executive producer for FX’s Snowfall. He divides his time between Brooklyn and Santa Monica. \nGary Phillips has published novels\, comics\, novellas\, short stories and edited or co-edited several anthologies\, including the Anthony-winning The Obama Inheritance: Fifteen Stories of Conspiracy Noir. Almost thirty years after its publication\, his debut\, Violent Spring\, was named one of the essential crime novels of Los Angeles. He was also a writer and co-producer on Snowfall\, a show streaming on Hulu about crack and the CIA in 1980s South Central\, where he grew up. \nAbout Gray Dawn: \nIn this thrilling mystery from “master of craft and narrative” Walter Mosley (National Book Foundation)\, Detective Easy Rawlins has settled into the happy rhythm of his new life when a dark siren from his past returns and threatens to destroy the peace he’s fought for. \nThe name Easy Rawlins stirs excitement in the hearts of readers and fear in the hearts of his foes. His success has bought him a thriving detective agency\, with its first female detective; a remote home\, shared with children and pets and lovers\, high atop the hills overlooking gritty Los Angeles; and more trouble\, more problems\, and more threat to those whom he loves. In other words\, he’s still beset on all sides. \nA number of below-the-law powerbrokers plead with Easy to locate a mysterious\, dangerous woman—Lutisha James\, though she’s gone by another name that Easy will immediately recognize. 1970s Los Angeles is a transient city of delicate\, violent balances\, and Lutisha has disturbed that. She also has a secret that will upend Easy’s own life\, painfully closer to home.
