Join us for an evening with Lisa Azarmi, the inspirational founder of the art and literature blog @ravenous_butterflies who will be talking about her remarkable life story, including readings from her beautiful new book, Calm Your Mind.
Calm Your Mind is the perfect companion for those times when you’re feeling agitated by life’s daily stresses and worries.
