About this Event
Special Operations Forces Spouses are invited to join The Station Foundation for a curated book club as we unpack Edith Eger’s wisdom in The Gift: 14 Lessons to Save Your Life. Through self reflection and group discussion, participants will gently explore how guilt, unresolved grief, resentment, fear, and judgment inhibit our growth and ability to thrive in life. Perspective taking tools and daily gratitude practices will alleviate stress and feelings of loneliness, isolation, unworthiness, or despair. Authentic sharing and discussion will build trust and enhance personal growth as we learn these lessons of hope and courage together.
Our first Winter Wellness Book Club gathering will be coupled with a slow flow yoga practice, lunch, and holistic wellness tips. Participants will be expected to have completed the first two chapters of The Gift prior to our Winter Wellness event. Please note that The Station Foundation will provide a copy of The Gift to all participants. Books may be picked up at Roast Rider Coffee & Cafe on Monday, December 16, anytime between 11am and noon.
This book club will meet three times over the course of eight weeks, and we ask that you commit to all three sessions before registering. Your commitment to completing the readings and discussion questions will foster beautiful personal growth and healing that set a healthy trajectory for 2025.
