Lessons Learned: Passing on a Legacy of Love

LAMP members (this event is only open to members) are looking forward to a presentation and Q&A with Karen Kreps, columnist for The Good Life magazine and author of the new book, Intimacies: Secrets of Love, Sex & Romance, and her husband, Arye Shapiro, whose figurative sculpture illustrates her new book. We’ll be sharing stories about the lessons we’ve learned in love and how others benefit from the sharing. Karen has a relaxed way of discussing adult topics in a PG (Parent Guidance Suggested) manner. She will talk about her book and experiences publishing her column, and her husband will display photos of his artwork and talk about the process of modeling from life.
