It was an honor to be invited to Field's in San Francisco (right), the Bodhi Tree in Los Angeles, and East-West Books in NYC and Seattle. But the sad truth was that my turnout was actually pretty low.

I had better responses at bookstores in smaller cities (such as Bellingham WA, San Raphael and Encinitas CA, and Corvallis WA), or when sponsored by Noetic Sciences, Theosophical, or Integral Studies groups.

Highlights were speaking at Krotona TS Lodge in Ojai CA and the Rio Rancho NM TS Study Group, the Center for Conscious Creativity in Hollywood; at the Ken Wilber-Integral Studies "Meet-Ups" in Denver, Philly and NYC; at Unitarian Fellowships in La Crosse WI and Bellingham WA; at the HOME Church in Salem OR, at Tucson IONS and the Open Center in NYC, and the Bay Area Future Forum at SAP in Palo Alto (DJ Cline photo on left).

I think the best experience was meeting so many great people who put me up for the night, showed me their towns, shared their inner spiritual light, and encouraged me despite sometimes low turnouts. In point of fact, the book has acheived SECOND PRINTING, and foreign language rights have been sold in Brazil, Slovenia and the Netherlands!

In Truth or Consequences, NM (2-17-08)

The next to last stop on my booktour was in Truth or Consequences, NM. This town has a very interesting connection to the power of the electronic media, as its name was changed in a competition back in the 1950's to be the first to host the popular radio show of that name.

Here I am with Jonathan Phillips (founder NYC Gnostics and editor of souldish.com) at the Black Cat Bookstore, photo by Mikey Sklar.

Soon after the talk, it was time for a long hot soak!

With the Philly Integral Meet-up in November

Had a great time with Integral Philly Meet-Up.

Some comments:

Richard Neff "I believe this was a watershed event. Meeting Steven Vedro clicked me back in place."

Rob Scott "Steven Vedro gave a great talk about personal development, spiritual development and how our communication technologies mirror our own stages and challenges. Very, very interesting and fun. I highly recommend checking out Steven's work!"

Skip Shuda "Steve Vedro's presentation of his book Digital Dharma was eye opening and thought provoking! A brave new world!"
