SUMMARY:Nelson: Therese DesCamp Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Nelson Library for the book launch of Hands Like Roots: Notes on an Entangled Contemplative Life.\nAuthored by New Denver resident Therese DesCamp\, the book weaves together science\, spirituality\, and a love of life. DesCamp integrates a grab-bag of knowledge—hydrology\, climate instability\, cognitive science\, embodiment—with her inner experiences of prayer and meditation. The resulting essays are accessible\, poetic\, vulnerable and surprising.\nDesCamp will discuss her book and answer your questions.
