We are honored to have S. Shakthidharan join Shakti Mental Health to discuss his memoir, Gather Up Your World In One Long Breath at Amplify bookstore.

Shakthi lives with his family, in the house his great-grandparents built in Colombo, Sri Lanka, before the civil war. Carried across the seas to Australia, on the strength of his grandmother's will, this house breathes the joy and grief that has passed through generations. And it's here Shakthi writes about the people he loves, all of whom come together to form a portrait of Shakthi himself.

Actor Ria Patel will begin the event with a short guided meditation, followed by a moderated conversation with the author S. Shakthidharan.

Registration is free but bookings are essential.
