We had a lively full house last night in the dining room at City Center for the book reading and launch event for Colleen Busch’s Fire Monks: Zen Mind Meets Wildfire at the Gates of Tassajara, just out from Penguin Press.
The event was video streamed live to the web and recorded for viewing on-demand.
