蛇象徵蛻變 ～ 蛇年，蛻變俱樂部將開啟一個新的讀書會，邀請你一起脫下舊皮，換上嶄新視角，把我們身處的世界看得更清楚！You are invited to join us for the Transformation Collective’s new book club for the Lunar New Year of the Snake! The Snake symbolizes transformation, so we invite you, together, to shed old skin and don new lenses to see our world with clear eyes.
我們將於每個月的第二個星期二晚上7:10在台北聚（時間視狀況可調整），一起探索並討論我們所身處的現實；個人、社會和生態的福祉如何受到影響；以及如何轉化並創造整體福祉的生活和社會。
Meeting in Taipei on the 2nd Tuesday of every month (with flexibility) at 7:10pm, we will discover and discuss the reality we live in; how our personal, societal, and ecological wellbeing are impacted; and how we can transform and create a life and society that serves wellbeing.
運作方式：
每個月以一個主題為主，而不是每月一本書。有時該月只有一本書；有時某個主題會有一本基礎書（F = foundational），若已讀過基礎書，可以讀其他推薦書籍，或提出自己的建議。每個月我們將根據每個人從書中得到的收穫與見解，圍繞主題進行討論。
How it works:
Rather than one book each month, there is a theme each month. Sometimes there is just one book that month; other times, for a certain theme, there’s one foundational book (F) that we invite everyone to read, and for those who have already read F, there are other recommendations (or you can propose one) for that theme. We’ll then discuss the theme based on insights from everyone.
請不要感到壓力！你可以只選擇自己感興趣的書來讀，不必每個月都參加。這不是學校，不會有考試 :) 只需閱讀你能讀和想讀的部分。我們希望你至少讀過主題相關書籍的一部分，以便參與討論。
Please don’t feel overwhelmed! You can just choose the books you are interested in, no need to come every month. This is not school, you will not be tested :) Just read what you can and want to. We do prefer that you have read at least enough of a book in that theme to be able to discuss.
如何取得書籍：台北或新北市的圖書館！我們也可能認識有這些書的人，也許可以借出。歡迎詢問我們。
How to access the books: There’s amazing selections in the public libraries in Taipei, in English too. We may also know people who have the books to possibly lend out. Feel free to ask us first.
語言：我們盡量為每個主題提供英文和中文書籍選項，說英文和說中文的書友我們都歡迎。我們會根據每次的參與者的語言能力來決定如何進行。有些主題我們還沒有找到中文書，但我們會繼續尋找、想辦法。如果你知道跟這些主題相關可推薦的中文書籍，敬請推薦！
為了擴大討論空間，我們希望減少翻譯的時間。同時，我們的目標是為台灣在地的「蛻變」貢獻一份力量，所以認為優先以中文討論是合理的。不過，我們還是非常歡迎各國人士！我們相信不同背景的觀點交流對於深化全球議題的理解也很重要。因此，我們會盡力提供英文摘要，並針對較困難的詞彙和概念進行翻譯與補充說明。
Language: We have tried to offer an English and Traditional Chinese (TC) selection for every theme, as we’d like the book club to welcome as many diverse voices as possible. For some themes we have not yet found a TC version book, though we are still finding a way forward and on the lookout for TC options. If you know of any TC book related to those themes, please propose!
In order to have more room for discussion, we would like to limit the amount of translation necessary in sessions. Considering our goal of contributing to a local transformation-oriented community in Taiwan, we will prioritize Mandarin as the primary language of discussion. Non-native Mandarin speakers are still strongly encouraged to attend; we believe that sharing perspectives from different backgrounds is crucial in developing our thinking on these global issues. As such, we will do our best to support with English summaries and translation on more difficult words and subjects.
地點&晚餐：台北市萬華區康定路348號10樓（近捷運龍山寺站3號出口） - 我們主要會聚在這裡的瑜伽教室，場地免費提供給我們，所以我們來一起維護。如果你帶食物，請不要帶肉或五辛（蔥、蒜、韭、薤、洋蔥），必須全素。請帶走任何垃圾並保持清潔。（偶爾我們可能會選擇其他地點，會提前通知。）想先吃的人，我們約6:20在吉緣素食，吃完再一起過去。
