On Thursday, the Atmos community convened to celebrate our first hardcover book.

Climate activists, creatives, and contributors from the Atmos ecosystem gathered together at Brooklyn’s Greenery Unlimited on Thursday for an intimate evening celebrating the release of The Overview: Meditations on Nature for a World in Transition. Enveloped by lush plants and a special DJ set by musical artist Oyinda, guests enjoyed custom botanical cocktails by Muddling Memories themed to the book’s four chapters—Reverence, Balance, Evolution, and Healing—along with vegetarian canapes from Pistachio Studio. The night was capped with toasts and readings from the book’s creative director, Jake Sargent, and author, Willow Defebaugh.

The Overview: Meditations on Nature for a World in Transition is available for purchase here.
