The Art of Stillness (Vancouver)
With Pico Iyer
July 6, 2019
As the world accelerates to a post-human pace, how can we preserve our humanity, our sanity, our contact with everything essential?
Through stories, statistics and specific daily practices, “arguably the world’s greatest living travel writer” (as Outside magazine called Pico Iyer) suggests ways of reclaiming life’s hidden luxuries: spaciousness, intimacy and attention.

This program consists of a keynote, Q&A, workshop and book signing. Book sales provided by Banyen Books.
