FINDING POWER IN STILLNESS with Jessie Asya Kanzer

In this interactive presentation, Jessie takes us on the journey that forced stillness upon her, in which she found healing from an eating disorder, anxiety, and the trauma of being a child refugee. She shares tips on how we can all cultivate more stillness amidst our busy lives and to begin (or continue) to connect with our inner voice. She also shares some of the ancient Taoist teachings that help get her back to center no matter what's going on, and leads us through Do Your Tao exercises from her book.

Jessie is the author of Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching. Her work has been featured in USA TodayThe New York TimesWSJWashington PostForbes, as well as many other publications, podcasts, and TV programs. She lives in Dobbs Ferry, NY with her daughters, husband, and two crazy kittens.

TESTIMONIALS

“I’m still in awe of you and your launch event. Everything about it was perfection—can we do it again??”

— Hannah C., attendee for an in-person event at Picture Book bookstore, Dobbs Ferry, NY

“Jessie Kanzer's launch at my bookshop was a huge success and wonderful experience. Jessie drew a big crowd, with people travelling from hours away to attend, and I sold so many more books than I would have expected at my little store. As soon as I handed Jessie the microphone, it was clear she is a star. She's an excellent speaker, completely smooth and also funny and relatable. The crowd was happy to wait in a long line after the talk to have a chance to connect with the author, and she gave everyone special attention, moving people to tears with her care. I continue to get positive feedback from customers about the event and people keep coming back for additional books to give their friends."

— Sara Davidson, owner of Picture Book, Dobbs Ferry, New York

“Jessie recently shared her beautiful spirit, open heart and inspired perspective on the Tao Te Ching with our journaling group, and we could not have been more blessed! Our time together was truly cathartic and left us ready to devour her book again."

— Beverly Ingle, ‘Chief Book Hunter’ at Bespoke Books and Archives, Leesburg, VA

“Your delivery is amazing and so genuine and as you share it’s soo clear and concise! I have to get my hands on your book still! It’s on my list!”
