After a particularly tumultuous year, best-selling author and acclaimed artist Meredith Gaston has created a perfectly timed self-care book and will be visiting Noosa for the launch.
Due to celebrate the publication of her tenth book this year, Meredith continues to grow her prolific and diverse creative practise.
“I started at 20 in the world of books and I’m 36 this year so I’ve been loving the process as it’s my absolute passion,“ she said.
“Each book has changed my life.“As an internationally acclaimed speaker and passionate wellness advocate, her new book, At Home Within, explores pathways to peace, balance and contentment in our daily life.
“The very simple message that this book has is that we all have a home within ourselves and it’s a very sacred, private place and it warrants our time and care,“ Meredith said.
“Feeling at home within ourselves involves caring for ourselves in loving, thoughtful and joyous ways; noticing, honouring and meeting our unique needs.“
The affirmations and inspirations in these ten chapters will assist you to create positive change within.
“The words and the pictures work together in harmony,“ Meredith said.
“The process is that I generally write the manuscript first and then I take to the illustrations and bring the concepts that I have explored to life with watercolours and ink on beautiful Italian cotton paper.
“It’s almost like a meditative process; I find the art aspect very therapeutic.“
To celebrate the launch, Annie’s Books on Peregian will be hosting an author talk with Meredith in conversation with Mary Lou Stephens.
Meredith said she was excited about coming to Peregian for the event.
“Annie has always been absolutely amazing and stocks a number of my other titles,“ she said.
“I absolutely love the community there in Noosa and Peregian. It’s an interactive event with the audience and I’d love to answer any questions readers may have,“ she said.
“This sort of subject matter is for everybody and my hope is that anybody that wants to explore this that they might want to come along and have a listen.
“There will be a lovely atmosphere and I will be signing copies of the book on the night.
The free event with wine and cheese will take place on Wednesday 28 April at 6pm on the footpath at Annie’s Books on Peregian.
There is limited seating and you are welcome to bring your own folding chair.
