Author will have books available for purchase/signing. \nLocation: Living Room \nDr. O is an accomplished musician with four professionally made classical/popular music CDs.

Among the items in his bucket list is performing as a pianist at Carnegie Hall in New York City and completing the sequel\, THE NINTH DAY\, what happens after THE EIGHTH DAY some five billion years into the future after Judgment Day.

SUMMARY:**Canceled for 9/10/26** Death Café (registration required)
DESCRIPTION:Description: A group-led\, free-form space in which we’ll drink tea\, eat cake\, and talk about death. Simply bring yourself and your curiosity. \nHow to register: Email or text instructor directly to save your seat \nLocation: Classroom/Meditation space\, 2nd floor\n\nOrganizer: Amber Walls\nPhone number: (276) 608-5382\nEmail: amberwalls2003@gmail.com\n\nBio: I recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from ETSU. In my last year of college\, I started working as a hospital chaplain at JCMC. My current vocation\, paired with my former role as a funeral director’s assistant\, has ignited a passion to open up casual public discussion about death and dying to demystify the one thing we are all guaranteed to face.
