Join us for a fascinating reading from author Jeremy Vaeni’s work “Kundalini and the Secrets of Silence.” 

Jeremy Vaeni is the author of several books, including “Urgency and I Am To Tell You This And I Am To Tell You It Is Fiction.” He will read from and discuss his latest memoir, a love-letter to Hawaii, entitled “Kundalini and the Secrets of Silence.” For the first time, Jeremy is opening up completely about his 25 years and counting of living with an energy commonly called “kundalini,” but which he calls, “the Will of Silence.”
