Vermont Public Community Calendar

Phoenix Books Burlington is excited to host author, model, and fearless cold plunger Libby DeLana to celebrate her new book, Cold Joy! Whether you are an experienced cold plunger or have never so much as dipped a toe in cold water, Libby DeLana will be in conversation with Katharine Montstream to share the joy, struggles, and lessons that can be gained in the practice of cold plunging.

Come join the discussion, try Libby’s new Cold Joy tea, and return the following morning to put what you learned into practice by doing a guided cold plunge with Libby and The Red Hot Chilly Dippers in Lake Champlain!

Libby DeLana is an executive creative director, writer, and podcast host. She is best known for her teachings and reflections on well-being and self-discovery inspired by her cold plunges and daily walks, which she shares on her Instagram, at @parkhere and @thismorningwalk. She has been featured on The Isolation Journal from Suleika Jaouad, Good Life Project with Jonathan Field, NPR, the BBC, and she cohosts the This Morning Walk podcast with Alex Elle (NYTimes best selling author of How We Heal), where they interview leaders in spirituality and wellness. She splits her time between Massachusetts and the San Francisco Bay Area. Her first book is DO/Walk Navigate Earth Mind and Spirit.

Katharine Montstream has been coloring for a living since 1988. She started out making hand made watercolor greeting cards, and in two years she sold over 15,000 - each one individually painted - to shops in New England. The next year, Montstream Studio started printing her images and she and her husband began selling the greeting cards nationwide. She’s had multiple exhibits in Vermont and focuses on her favorite subjects: the lake, mountains, snow, woods, swimming holes and Burlington’s iconic Moran Plant. She is part of The Red Hot Chilly Dippers, a Burlington based group that focuses on bringing people together for cold water experiences - seeking endorphins, adrenaline & joy.

Your $3 ticket comes with a coupon for $3 off one of the featured books. Coupons expire at closing the evening of the event. Tickets can be purchased at the registration link above, or at the door.

Copies of Cold Joy will be available at the event. A book signing will follow the discussion.

A musician and comedian based in Los Angeles, Morgan Jay has made appearances on MTV’s Wild’N’Out, NBC, and Comedy Central. Morgan has carved out his own genre of performance art and comedy creating a show built on imperfection, authenticity, relatability, shared experience and connection.

He’s Brazilian and Italian which for some reason makes him the guy from Ratatouille. Low key, he’s actually a trained actor who graduated from the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. He’s won multiple awards and played multiple festivals but none of that stuff really matters anymore because he has a lot of followers on social media and THAT’s all the matters. HE HAS A SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE and a blue check mark. I’m just saying he’s a huge deal. That’s all I’m saying.
