Author Reading: Dave Markowitz, Refuge for the Weary Empath
Bold Coffee & Books, 1755 SW Jefferson St, Portland, OR 97205, USA, Portland, OR, USBOLD is thrilled to host a reading with Dave Markowitz, author of Refuge for the Weary Empath: The Sacred Work of Healing Ourselves and Healing Our World.
Join us for an intimate author reading celebrating empathy, healing, and the lived experience of sensitive souls. This event offers a welcoming space for reflection, connection, and thoughtful conversation.
Refuge for the Weary Empath was written as a soft landing place — a space to rest and rediscover what your sensitivity wants to show you. These pages offer stories, reflections, and gentle guidance to help you trace your exhaustion back to its true source, reconnect with your own steady center, and begin to experience your empathy as a bridge to clarity, belonging, and inner peace.

Drawing from his own journey and client experiences, he offers practical wisdom that supports clarity, resilience, purpose, and personal and collective healing.
Arrive at 6:30 p.m. to grab a snack or drink. The event will start at 7:00 p.m.
