Resilience in Times of Change: An Exclusive Salon & Book Reading with Author Catarina Lilliehöök
Join us for an intimate pre–Chinese New Year salon with author Catarina Lilliehöök, featuring a live reading from her novel The Spirit Dragon’s Keeper followed by an interactive conversation.
Set between the Arctic and China, the story follows a young protagonist forced to adapt to an unfamiliar world, drawing strength from discipline, nature, and inner resolve. Through this lens, the evening will explore themes of survival, identity, adaptation, and the quiet power that emerges through change. It is a story about learning to endure, to grow, and to find balance when life takes an unexpected turn.
The salon will invite participants into an open dialogue with the author, reflecting on how resilience is built, how cultures can be bridged through storytelling, and how inner strength is cultivated over time. Expect thoughtful exchange, shared reflections, and space for questions and discussion.
To close the evening, we will host a small raffle of one book and other special touches to mark the season of renewal.
A thoughtful and uplifting way to pause, reflect, and welcome the Chinese New Year together.
