“Becoming Untangled”: An Intimate Book Launch and Conversation

Please join us for an intimate evening celebrating the release of Koshin Paley Ellison’s new book, Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion (available now).

Untangled is a welcoming guidebook to finding expansive ease and joy through the Eightfold Path, one of Buddhism’s foundational teachings. In his book, Koshin, a shares anecdotes from his life dealing with abuse and discrimination as well as the path of teachings from Eastern and Western wisdom traditions to introduce readers to the Eight Roads and rejuvenate it for those already familiar.

Together, Zen teacher and monk, Jungian psychotherapist, and the co-founder of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care, Koshin Paley Ellison, and Jason Harris, Co-founder & CEO of creative agency, Mekanism, will discuss how to incorporate these teachings of untangling our suffering and the path of freedom in our everyday lives.

Following the discussion, there will be a Q&A session. A local bookseller will have copies of the book available for purchase, with an opportunity to have your copy of Untangled signed by the author.

A very special thank you to The Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation, Charles de Agustin, and the whole team at The 8th Floor for supporting this event.

Please note: There are a limited number of seats available. An RSVP is required to enter The 8th Floor Gallery. A Livestream of the evening will be available with a recording made available via email for all registrants 24–48 hours after the event.
