Book Society

The dream of farm life is timeless—but today’s farmers are rewriting that story in real time.

Join us for a thought-provoking evening with&nbsp;Andy Naja-Riese, CEO of the Agricultural Institute of Marin (AIM); and Tamara Hicks, owner of Toluma Farms &amp; Tomales Farmstead Creamery and author of Feasts on the Farm. Together, they’ll explore the shifting landscape of farming in the Bay Area—where tradition meets innovation, and storytelling meets lived experience.



Andy and Tamara will unpacking the history of farming in the Bay Area and the new models shaping its future. From the rise of smaller, diversified vegetable farms to collaborative approaches like shared land, equipment, and labor, they’ll discuss how today’s farmers are reimagining sustainability—not just for the land, but for their own lives. How can farmers support one another in an industry that has long demanded everything? What does it look like to build systems that allow for rest, resilience, and even something as simple as a vacation?

They’ll also explore how our community can play a role—through supporting land conservation efforts, engaging with local food systems, and participating in experiences like farm visits, cheese trails, and hands-on learning that deepen our connection to the land and the people who steward it.

Your ticket includes:
<ul><li>A dynamic conversation with Andy Naja-Riese, and Tamara Hicks</li><li>Delicious bites and wine, including cheeses from Toluma Farms (with more to be announced!)</li><li>Book signing, connection, and community mingling</li></ul>

A limited number of Feasts on the Farm&nbsp;will also be available for purchase at the event.

University of California Botanical Garden

Join us for a very special evening with two-time Pulitzer Finalist David George Haskell in conversation with KQED radio host Alexis Madrigal as they explore the fascinating revelations in Haskell’s just released book&nbsp;How Flowers Made Our World: The Story of Nature’s Revolutionaries. In his book, acclaimed writer and biologist Haskell provides an astonishing new perspective on the history of life on this planet—with flowers setting a new course for Earth beginning some 200 million years ago—and reveals their foundational role in humanity’s future.
About the book:
“Flowers changed the course of Earth’s history, creating most modern habitats and catalyzing the evolution of humans. I wrote this book to share this extraordinary story, which I regard as the great untold tale of evolution. Even many biologists do not fully realize the revolutionary powers of flowers.” –David George Haskell
Ticket includes pre-talk admission to the UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley, a living-museum and one of the most plant-diverse places on the planet.&nbsp;The talk will take place in the Garden's historic outdoor amphitheater located in the Redwood Grove.

John Hinkel Park

The King of Navarre and his three friends have dedicated themselves to a life of study, and avoiding women for three long years. Their challenge comes to an end with the arrival of the Princess of France and her three girlfriends. The four young men fall in love and court the witty ladies amidst physical comedy, romance, and masked mistaken identities. Unexpectedly, the women must return to their kingdom for a year, after which they will marry the king and his friends, provided the men remain true to them.
Inferno Theatre is excited and honored to be the first company to perform Joshua Wilder’s modern translation of William Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost. The production is directed by award winning theater artist Giulio Cesare Perrone, who also designs this colorful production, bringing comedy and romance back to Berkeley. Love’s Labour’s Lost will delight with slapstick humor, music, songs and movement generated by the ensemble. Inferno Theatre is thrilled to partner once again with Play On Shakespeare to present Shakespeare's poetic world using a translation that makes it more accessible to modern audiences.
Pack your picnic basket, bring the whole family, and immerse yourself in this enchanted world of music, movement, and magic. Let Inferno Theatre lead you on a marvelous romp, filled with Shakespearean verse, compelling physical theater, fantasy, ensemble music, and raucous slapstick.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Debut Night at Book Society is a celebration of firsts—first books, first pours, and the stories that bring them to life.

Join Kate Crane, Portia Elan, and Eric Scot Tryon as we raise a glass to their debut novels and introduce Book Society’s new house wines, crafted in collaboration with Berkeley-based Broc Cellars.

Throughout the evening, each author will share their journey to publication, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how an idea evolves into a finished book. From an investigative memoir to a genre-bending adventure spanning 600 years within a video game, to a moving exploration of grief and the unexpected relationships it reveals, these stories promise a rich and varied conversation.

Bring your curiosity—and your questions—for an evening designed to spark connection, discovery, and a deeper appreciation for the art of the debut.

Your ticket includes:
<ul><li>A lively conversation with three debut authors—Kate Crane (What Ever Happened to Eddy Crane?), Portia Elan (Homebound), and Eric Scot Tryon (I’m the Undertow)</li><li>A first taste of Book Society’s new house wines</li><li>Book signing, conversation, and community mingling</li></ul>


<h4>About the Authors &amp; Their Books</h4>

Eric Scot Tryon
San Francisco–based writer and editor Eric Scot Tryon makes his debut with I’m the Undertow&nbsp;(Central Avenue, May 2026), a haunting and tender novel exploring guilt, grief, and the unexpected relationships that form in the wake of loss. His short fiction has appeared in more than 50 literary journals, including Mid-American Review, Indiana Review, Ninth Letter, The Florida Review, Glimmer Train, and The Los Angeles Review. He is represented by Carleen Geisler of Britt Siess Creative Management and is the founding editor of the literary journal Flash Frog.

Portia Elan
Bay Area native Portia Elan brings a poet’s sensibility to her debut novel, Homebound, a sweeping and imaginative story that begins with a queer game designer in the 1980s and echoes into the 26th century—shaping the lives of a scientist, a sentient robot, and a desperate ship captain. A meditation on storytelling, identity, and belonging, the novel reflects Portia’s deep literary roots. She holds an MFA in Poetry from the University of Victoria, is a former Lambda Literary Fellow, and has worked as both a teacher and public librarian. She lives in the Bay Area with her wife and an abundance of cats.

Kate Crane
Writer and editor Kate Crane draws on her background in journalism and publishing for her debut, What Ever Happened to Eddy Crane?, an investigative memoir that blends personal narrative with rigorous reporting. When she was twelve, her father disappeared from his Baltimore trucking business and never returned—twenty years later, she set out to uncover the truth. Kate began her career with an NYC alt-weekly and later worked with&nbsp;Wall Street Journal publications. A Baltimore native and longtime New Yorker, she now lives in California.

If your system has been running on high alert, this is an invitation to pause, soften, and come back to yourself.
Peace Practice is an invitation to slow down — a space to ground and reconnect with the body’s natural rhythms of rest, digestion, and repair. The practices are gentle and body-based, offering simple ways to support your nervous system, especially during times when life feels intense or overwhelming.
Our virtual time together centers on cultivating inner peace through nervous system regulation. When the body receives cues of safety, chronic stress responses can soften, allowing the mind, emotions, and physiology to work together rather than remaining in survival mode.
Each session includes a live, guided practice with gentle meditation, somatic and vagus nerve exercises, grounding, and quiet reflection.
Peace Practice is offered once a month and will always remain free, because access to nervous system support should be available to everyone.
We meet on the first Wednesday of each month via Zoom 12:00 PM Pacific / 2:00 PM Central / 3:00 PM Eastern
All that’s needed is a willingness to arrive exactly as you are.

Connection, grounding, singing, movement &amp; somatic practices to regulate the nervous system and restore resilience together.
The Collective Medicine Circle is a monthly mindfulness circle rooted in nature, seasonal rhythms, and nervous system regulation, held in Orinda, CA. This in-person gathering offers a steady, supportive space to slow down, ground, and reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with the natural cycles that shape our lives.
Guided by mindfulness practices and nature-based reflection, each circle is gently shaped by the season we are in. Together we explore grounding tools, nervous system regulation practices, and shared inquiry that support presence, resilience, and a sense of belonging. This is not a class to perform or perfect — it is a circle to arrive, exhale, and be human.
The Collective Medicine Circle is ideal for those seeking stress relief, mindfulness in community, and a consistent monthly ritual for nervous system support. No prior experience with meditation or mindfulness is needed. All are welcome to come exactly as they are. 
This is a scent-free, trauma-informed space that honors accessibility, inclusivity, and the wisdom of moving at the pace of nature.
Facilitated by:
Erica Skone-Rees
Founder of Mind Body Sound Collective, Erica is a mindfulness teacher, nervous system regulation guide, and integrative health coach. Her work weaves mindfulness, nature-based wisdom, and trauma-informed practices to support grounding, resilience, and meaningful connection. Erica has been facilitating circles, retreats, and group experiences for over 15 years, creating spaces where people can slow down and reconnect at a human pace.

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow.
