The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society Community Speaker Series will present Laing Rikkers, author of “Morning Leaves: Reflections on Loss, Grief, and Connection,” a poetry collection that Rikkers released on May 16. The event will be held on Thursday, Nov. 16, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. at La Flecha House in RSF. Light refreshments will be available.

Rikkers is a leader in the field of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), an often hidden - and potentially fatal - medical condition. After her sister died of undiagnosed OSA, Laing sought solace from nature and creativity, and wrote Morning Leaves, a book of poetry and art to help others navigate grief. 

Laing currently lives in North County with her husband and two children, and wrote her book in Rancho Santa Fe where she lived for 15 years.
