An Evening with Mesa Refuge Alum Katy Butler

~Co-presented by Mesa Refuge and Point Reyes Books~

Join us for a special gathering with one of the Mesa Refuge's most beloved authors, Katy Butler. Katy is returning to the Mesa Refuge to offer this evening as a fundraiser for the non-profit. As a resident at the Mesa Refuge in 2016, Katy worked on her book, The Art of Dying Well: the Practical Guide to A Good End of Life—which is now out in the world with much notoriety.

There are two ways to participate:

Join us at 5:00 pm at the beautiful Mesa Refuge for an opportunity to meet Katy and have your complimentary book signed while enjoying wine, Cowgirl Creamery cheese, and the view. Your $65 ticket includes the reception, hard cover book and admission to the 7:00 pm event. Space is limited.

Or, join us for the 7:00 pm event only at Point Reyes Presbyterian Church for $25. Books will be available for sale.

About Katy’s new book, The Art of Dying Well:

“Surprisingly comforting. The Art of Dying Wellbelongs on the same shelf as Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal.  You will want to read it and keep it handy.”
—Michael Dirida, Washington Post.

“Katy Butler shows how, and I am profoundly grateful.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed

“A book to devour, discuss, dog-ear, and revisit.  Wise counsel for the final decades of our ‘wild and precious’ lives.”
—Lucy Kalanithi, MD, widow of Paul Kalanithi, and editor of When Breath Becomes Air

“The best guidebook I know for navigating the later stages of life. Simple and practical, but the impact is profound.” —Ira Byock, noted hospice doctor and author of Dying Well.

Katy Butler’s first book, Knocking on Heaven’s Door, was a New York Times bestseller and Notable Book of the Year. The Art of Dying Well drew record-breaking crowds to her national book tour and was an Amazon bestseller.  An award-winning science journalist and former reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, she is a past finalist for a National Magazine Award, a resident of Mill Valley, and a former Sausalito houseboat resident.
