Our body and wellness have an intricate relationship with our emotional state. Join Sue Wang, author of MESSAGES from the Black Recliner: A Memoir of Healing Body & Spirit and a Niwot resident on what she learned from her journey to wholeness and the memoir writing process.

Five years after losing a newborn, Sue could not shake the sudden and continual onsets of nausea and brain fog. Barely functioning, she searched relentlessly for a diagnosis, and found her way to holistic medicine. Marriage and finances teetered while she struggled to work and care for a young son. But coping wasn 't enough, and Sue landed in the black recliner. Learning to relax led to an exploration of beliefs from a buried childhood in Asia. The healing that ensued was an extraordinary journey that restored and awakened her body and spirit.
