In this book club we will read books that get us reflecting more deeply about our relationship with life on Earth, particularly about the natural world and how it mirrors our own spirit within. There will be an optional writing component, allowing our ideas to evolve as we explore the interconnectedness of nature and the creative spirit.
In addition to lively discussion, we’ll be offering wine and light refreshments to keep the conversation flowing. Participants will also receive handouts featuring journaling pages and creative prompts to inspire short nonfiction reflections and poetic responses. Together, we’ll explore the world around us through the lens of literature—engaging with timeless themes and universal ideas in a safe space for shared insight and meaningful dialogue.
Cost: $40 per month, includes two sessions per month.
