Author Talk with Marcus Farris

Join us at SCP Redmond Hotel for a special evening with local author, coach, and U.S. Army Veteran Marcus Farris, as he shares insights from his powerful new book, Return: Life After Moral Injury. This free community event will take place in our Provisions Market space and is open to all community members and hotel guests.

In Return, Farris explores the concept of moral injury—the deep inner conflict that can arise when life experiences challenge our core values and beliefs. Through storytelling, ancient archetypes, and practical wellness strategies, he offers a thoughtful roadmap for navigating adversity and rediscovering meaning. The conversation will explore themes such as worldview, asking for help, forgiveness, gratitude, and the role of physical health and community in the healing process.

Marcus Farris is a coach, author, and U.S. Army Veteran whose background spans industrial engineering, endurance athletics, mindset coaching, and CrossFit training. He holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of West Alabama and is a Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach. Passionate about helping people live more fully, Marcus works with individuals to translate their values into daily life through principles of movement, nutrition, community, and spiritual connection.

Originally from the South, Marcus now calls Redmond, Oregon home, where he lives with his wife, their soon-to-arrive first child, and their Australian Shepherd, Scout.

Guests are encouraged to come early or stay after the talk to enjoy drinks and light bites from our Wayfarer Club bar and lounge, located just steps away.
