Live event at East West Bookshop · This event fills quickly — register early 
For ages 18 and older. 
<h2>Is This For You?</h2>
<ul><li>Have you enjoyed a sound bath but wished you could settle more deeply into it?</li><li>Do you find it hard to fully relax on a thin yoga mat or in a larger group?</li><li>Are you ready for more space — physically, sonically, and internally?</li></ul>
This Full Immersion Sound Bath is held for two or three guests. Each person rests on a six-inch-thick cushion, with a pillow and blanket provided. The small group leaves room to receive the sound and, afterward, reflect on your experience.
Two registrations are required for this session to run. Maximum three guests.
<h2>The Experience</h2>
We begin with 10 minutes of gentle grounding, breathwork, and meditation, giving you time to arrive and settle into your cushion.
Then, for 60 minutes, crystal singing bowls, gong, rattle, drum, and voice are woven together for full immersion. The placement of the bowls creates 180 degrees of sound around you. You are not simply listening to sound; you are inside it.
The final 20 minutes are held for re-grounding and reflection. You may share something about your experience with the small group if you choose, or simply rest in quiet.
This experience creates space to:
<ul><li>Release accumulated tension and slow racing thoughts</li><li>Reconnect with your body after long periods of mental activity</li><li>Make room for emotions and reflection</li><li>Experience deep rest without numbing</li><li>Find stillness in a small, contained group</li></ul>
<h2>What To Bring</h2>
Your cushion, pillow, and blanket are provided. You are welcome to bring your own pillow or blanket if you prefer, along with an optional eye mask or extra layer for warmth.
<h2>Cancellation &amp; Transfer Policy</h2>
A minimum of 72 hours’ notice is required for a full refund. To transfer your registration to a future date, email notification is required within 24 hours of the event. Send requests to <a href="mailto:julie.eastwestbooks@gmail.com">julie.eastwestbooks@gmail.com</a>.
If the two-person minimum is not met, registered guests will be offered a full refund or a transfer to a future date.

Prince of Peace Christian School

Mark your calendar: Prince of Peace's Community Fall Festival is happening Saturday, October 31, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM, and everyone is welcome, our POP families, your cousins, friends, and neighbors from all across Fremont.
This is one of our favorite afternoons of the year, a chance for our whole community to slow down, step outside, and simply have fun together. There will be trunk-or-treating with decorated cars from our 5th through 8th graders and church community, so kids can go car to car collecting treats in a safe, supervised space. Little ones and big kids alike will find plenty to do with lively games and bounce houses. Warm up with a sampling of chili at our chili cook-off, take a spin at the cake walk for a chance to win a homemade treat, and enjoy our nacho bar and candy along the way.
We have designed this festival to be safe, joyful, and welcoming for families of every background, culture, and belief. Costumes are welcome and encouraged for the kids, but we do ask that they stay lighthearted; please skip anything scary, bloody, or ghostly, so the day feels warm and fun for every family that joins us.
Wristbands are $5 per person and required to participate in games and activities, purchased the day of the event.
Whether you are already part of our church family, a school parent, or a neighbor who has never set foot on our campus, we would genuinely love to meet you. No RSVP is required, just show up. Bring your kids, bring a friend, invite the family down the street, and come build some fall memories with us. The festival runs rain or shine, so dress for the weather; parking is available across the street at Washington High School.
We can't wait to celebrate the season together on October 31st; see you there!

Some nights you remember. Some nights leave a mark. 
This Halloween, prepare to be Bitten by the Bay at the 4-star Hyatt Centric Mountain View for a night of cocktails, costumes, dancing, prizes, and plenty of opportunities to meet people.
Singles, couples, and friends are all welcome. And because many of you are coming single, our VIP singles experience returns as the VIP Singles Sanctuary Lounge—a private, low-lit lounge exclusively for singles.
This isn't simply another Saturday night at a crowded bar. It's a six-hour Halloween experience with multiple spaces, each offering a different way to enjoy the night.

DJ Dave X is back! He's kept our Halloween and NYE dance floors packed with dance hits, throwbacks, and party anthems. No dead dance floor.
Want somewhere you can actually have a conversation? Weather permitting, step outside to the Moonlight Terrace at View on Two, the Hyatt's spacious outdoor patio and bar. Enjoy the night air, admire the costumes, and mingle away from the music.
VIP SINGLES SANCTUARY

Viewpoints Art Gallery

Show Dates: November 4-29, 2026Meet the Artist Days: Sunday, November 15 and November 22, 11am-5pm Viewpoints Gallery is delighted to ring in the holiday season with “Natural Wonders,” a dazzling collection of new works in gold leaf, acrylic and collage by Woodside artist, Amy Rattner. Amy has been painting wildlife for 20 years and her ability to capture the spirit and personality of her animal subjects shines through in each piece of her new collection. “Natural Wonders” features animals from California and around the globe that have held deep meaning for Amy, literally or symbolically, throughout her life. As a result, this vibrant collection touches on themes that are both global and personal, including motherhood, metamorphosis, change and conservation. Amy’s work juxtaposes gold leaf with beautiful handmade Japanese paper, simple compositions and masterful acrylic painting. Her distinctly elegant style elevates her wild subjects, highlighting each animal’s inherent beauty, grace and essential value to the artist and to the world at large. 
Amy’s unique design aesthetic took shape at an early age and continues to inspire her today. “My mom lived in Kyoto for a year in college and filled our childhood home with beautiful Japanese screens, artifacts and woodblock prints. I grew up adoring Japanese art and design, which honored elegance, simplicity and the concept of less is more," says Amy. She also draws inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement of the 1920s, which celebrated a return to handcrafted art, natural materials and simplicity in design. 
Amy works at home (with her two Bernese mountain dogs at her feet), and at her studio at Art Bias in San Carlos. After receiving a BA and MA in English from Stanford, she started her own graphic design firm, Kindred-Storey Designs until she rediscovered her love of fine art in 2006. Since then, Amy’s award-winning work has been juried into local, national, and international exhibitions and has appeared in magazines such as Mountain Home, Southwest Art, Palette Magazineand Art and Color 365. Her work has been featured in galleries throughout California, in Santa Fe, New Mexico and online at UGallery. She is a member of Allied Artists West (AAW), Art Bias, the Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society, American Women Artists and the Association of Animal Artists. Amy’s work is currently available at Viewpoints Gallery in Los Altos.&nbsp; More information about Amy’s work can be found on her website, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amyrattnertart.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">www.amyrattnertart.com</a>, on Instagram @amysr, on Facebook <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/AmyRattnerArt" rel="nofollow noopener">www.facebook.com/AmyRattnerArt</a> and on the Viewpoints Gallery website, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.viewpointsgallery.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">www.viewpointsgallery.com</a>.

A Conversation With Dr. Seng-Beng Ho - Author &amp; Cognitive Scientist - Hosted by Julie Kalua

• Limited to 25 participants
Cost: $25
Live event at East West Bookshop · This event fills quickly — register early Live event here at East West Bookshop
For ages 15 and older.<h2>What Might Near-Death Experiences, Reincarnation, And UFO Encounters Reveal About Consciousness—And The Nature Of Reality Itself?</h2>
Join Dr. Seng-Beng Ho for an evening exploring these three subjects and their possible connections. Drawing from his book, Science and Sensibleness: An Intellectual Survival Guide for the UFO Age, Seng-Beng will examine research and reported experiences that he argues challenge a purely material understanding of consciousness.
The presentation will move from near-death experiences to reincarnation, then explore the UFO connection, including reported telepathic communication and similarities between some encounter accounts and near-death experiences.
Designed for curious newcomers as well as those already exploring these questions, the evening will include a roughly 45-minute presentation, followed by Q&amp;A and time for attendees who wish to share their own experiences.
Limited copies are available on our New Books table. Books will also be available for purchase before/after the event. 
Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to allow time for parking and check-in.
