Monday May 17 7:30 pm Noah Levine returns to Black Oak to read from his highly acclaimed memoir, Dharma Punx , which has recently been published in paperback. Levine pulls no punches as he chronicles his disastrous teenaged years as a skateboarding punk in Santa Cruz whose painful spiral to the bottom was fueled by alcohol, drugs of every variety, and a suicidal rage. His first attempt at mindfulness meditation took place in a padded cell, and proved to be the transformative step towards building a life of spiritual practice and service, while retaining the will to combat injustice that informed his love of punk. M-^SFierce and disarming in its honesty, raw and true in its expression...This is not your average spiritual autobiography!M-^T Norman Fischer
