ONEBOOK, ONELAKEVILLE


 

We're pleased to announce the 2012 book selection WAKING: A Memoir of Trauma and Transcendence by Matthew Sanford.

For years after the devastating accident, Matthew felt a schism, or “silence,” between his mind and his body. As he grew into adulthood, he began studying philosophy in an increasingly frustrating search for answers. Then he discovered yoga. At first, he didn’t even know if a paraplegic could do yoga, but he was willing to try. Guided by his teacher, Matthew began to explore what it truly means to live in a body, and discovered new meaning and purpose in the “distance” between mind and body.

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

When Matthew Sanford was just thirteen, his family’s car skidded off an overpass on an icy Iowa road — killing his father and sister, paralyzing him from the chest down, and changing his life forever. Years later, yoga would dramatically change it again. In WAKING: A Memoir of Trauma and Transcendence (Rodale, June 2006), Matthew chronicles his journey from the intensive care unit to becoming a paralyzed yoga teacher and founder of a nonprofit organization. Along the way, Matthew gains a deeper understanding of the connection between mind and body, and formulates an entirely new view of existence as a “whole” person.

Leslie Ball, Minnesota singer and songwriter, will perform songs from her first solo recording, Loring Park, which earned her a Minnesota Music Award for best female songwriter. Leslie has performed on stages around the country from the Guthrie Theater to Carnegie Hall.
