Second Fridays monthly, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Ed Roberts Campus/ADA Cafe

Calling all book worms and word nerds! Let's talk titles, talking titles, that is. We're grabbing great titles from the National Library Services, devouring great reads in our preferred format, and gathering on the monthly to share all the feels, the highlights, the low-lights, and dissect with reckless abandon. Keep reading for more details on NLS if you are new to the alternative format book game, and contact Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316 to suggest titles, submit queries or simply RSVP.

Sound Healing, Sound Bath
September 6, 6 - 8:15 p.m.
LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired

A sound bath is a beautiful concert that brings you into a deep state of relaxation. This is a time for our community to come together and refresh, take a break from our hectic pace, and bathe ourselves in lush, healing sound. All sounds will be performed live by Xenia G. who is an experienced sound healing guide. Instruments include a 38" paiste gong, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, shakers, ocean drum, chimes and a native flute. Bring a friend and enjoy some social and relaxation time with light snacks and tea at 6 PM, doors close at 6:45 and the sound bath begins promptly at 7 pm! Feel free to bring a blanket and a pillow to lie on, we will have a limited number of yoga mats, bolsters, and blankets. Eye masks will be provided. Admission is free but requires a reservation. RSVP by calling or emailing Amber Sherrard at asherrard@lighthouse-sf.org or (415)-694-7353.
The events for the upcoming week are read aloud on our event hotline every Friday, which can be accessed by calling 415-694-7325. For more information about visiting the Adaptations Store, head to our shop page.
