Werner is a Hawaiian native whose work brings together adventure, sustainable fishing, conservation, and food.

Featured in films and documentaries, as well as a certified culinary chef, author of a cookbook, and sought-after speaker, Kimi has spent years exploring the world’s coastlines, sharing her passions for the natural world and sustainability. Now, she’s visiting the Midwest to connect her passion for cooking, community and conservation with the incredible freshwater resources of the Great Lakes.

The evening will include a screening of one of Kimi’s films, followed by a Q&A session, and cookbook signing. We will have cookbooks available at the Sanctuary Store.

This event is free and open to the public.

Whether you’re interested in conservation, freediving, underwater exploration, sustainable food, or simply hearing an incredible story, you won’t want to miss this special opportunity to meet Kimi Werner.
