Thank you to all our wonderful friends and customers for making this a delightful holiday season here at Kona Stories.  We wish all good things to you and your loved ones this Christmas and the most spectacular of years for 2012. 

Doreen Virtue: Thursday, January 5th at 6pm.

Doreen Virtue will lead a New Year's Healing and Manifestation Meditation to help you start 2012 off right.   

Doreen Virtue is a spiritual doctor of psychology and a fourth-generation metaphysician who works with the angelic, elemental, and ascended-master realms in her writings and workshops. Doreen is the author of more than 20 books about angels, chakras, crystal children, indigo children, health and diet, and other mind-body-spirit issues, including the best-selling "Healing with the Angels" and "Messages from Your Angels" books/angel cards. After this free event, Doreen will personalize any of her books or cards. Join us on Thursday, January 5th at 6pm.  No reservations required. 

Book Groups and more.

"Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting" -Edmund Burke.  Come reflect with our fun book groups. 

  

Just the Facts: our non-fiction group:
We are reading Vermeer's Hat:The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the Global World by Timothy Brook.  In the hands of award-winning historian Brook, Vermeer's dazzling paintings become windows that reveal how daily life and thought -from Delft to Beijing- were transformed in the 17th century, when the world first became global.
Event Info:
Tuesday December 27th
6pm

Second Tuesday: our fiction book group

A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan is the topic for the next meeting of this group. Bennie Salazar, an aging former punk rocker and record executive, and Sasha, the passionate, troubled young woman he employs, confront their pasts in this story about how rebellion ages, influence corrupts, habits turn to addictions, lifelong friendships fluctuate and turn, and how art and music have the power to redeem.

 Event Info:

Tuesday, January 10th

6:30pm

Our Lesbian group:

Our next book is Gender Outlaws:The Next Generation by Kate Bornstein.  Part coming-of-age story, part mind-altering manifesto on gender and sexuality, coming directly to you from the life experiences of a transsexual woman, Gender Outlaw breaks all the rules and leaves the reader forever changed.
