Join us Saturday, December 3 at noon for Blue Bicycle Books Charleston Author Series luncheon at High Cotton, with Heather Lyn Mann discussing her new book, a true story of a 6-year sailing adventure, Ocean of Insight. A Sailors Voyage from Despair to Hope

Spiritual ecologist Heather Lyn Mann is a practitioner of Buddhism, sailing, and mindful advocacy. Mann founded and led the not-for-profit Center for Resilient Cities, an organization mobilizing inner-city residents to restore natural beauty and function in damaged neighborhood landscapes.

She also co-edits Touching the Earth: A Newsletter of Earth Holding Actions in the Plum Village Tradition. In 2007, together with her husband and cat, Mann set sail on a 15,000-nautical-mile, six-year ocean voyage.

Her suspenseful, sometimes hilarious, and always heart-warming journey of body and mind, shaped
by ancient Buddhist teachings, entertains as it charts reality’s depths and danger zones so arm-chair adventurers, spiritual seekers, and the climate-concerned can navigate tumultuous waters and arrive together on the shore of planetary well-being
