Where: Pulpit Rock Brewing

When: Tuesday, 1/21 at 7:00pm

Join Maria Bowler, author of Making Time: A New Vision for Crafting a Life Beyond Productivity, and the Dragonfly Books Staff on Tuesday January 21st at 7:00pm in the Pulpit Rock Brewing events room for a reading, Q&A, and signing!

Maria Bowler, a former magazine editor and university creative writing professor, is a passionate advocate for the transformative power of imagination, which she sees as both a spiritual and political force. A Canadian now living in Iowa with her American husband and their daughter, Bowler brings warmth and humor to her work as a certified life coach, Enneagram applications professional, and spiritual director. With advanced degrees from Yale University and the University of Minnesota, she blends insights from neurobiology, positive psychology, philosophy, craft theory, and contemplative practice to help clients unlock their creative potential. When not writing humor essays or sewing her wardrobe (stains and all), she’s busy inspiring others to embrace their creativity and live with greater energy, love, and resilience.

Making Time: A New Vision for Crafting a Life Beyond Productivity is a thoughtful manifesto for anyone ready to move beyond endless to-do lists and rediscover their creative humanity. Rejecting life-hacks and quick fixes, Maria Bowler explores why the relentless pressure to do more persists and offers a fresh perspective on how we spend our energy. With warmth and insight, Making Time invites readers to reclaim meaning in their daily lives and tune into their inspiration amid the noise of the modern world.
