(Ticket price include 2 cocktails, soup, and admission!!!!)

Our first event will feature Jaimal Yogis, the author of The Saltwater Buddha and The Fear Project. Jaimal is the author of the bestsellers Saltwater Buddha – a comedic coming-of-age memoir about how surfing and the sea helped him transition back into the world after a year in a Zen monastery – and The Fear Project, which looks at the neuroscience of fear and courage, using science, mindfulness, and sports to reveal ways in which humans can live more fully. Saltwater Buddha has been adapted into a feature documentary that recently opened in select theaters and film festivals. We'll do an interview with Jaimal followed by audience questions, with mingling and book signings to follow!



Food and cocktails will be provided by award winning chefs Ed Kenney & Dave Caldiero of Mud Hen Water and Town Kaimuki. Ocean Vodka is graciously providing us with spirits!

The ocean photography of Rafael Bergstrom will be on display.

Your ticket includes two drinks, food, and admission to the event. There are a limited number of early admission tickets for a small group social with the author before the main event. The main event starts at 7pm; (VIP Admission at 6pm).



When you check out, you can also purchase a copy of Saltwater Buddha and pick it up at the event; Jaimal will sign your book at the event!

The first Books & Spirits will be held at Revolusun Smart Home in Kaka’ako. (Map). Mahalo Revolusun Smart Home for making the space available!
