Welcome!

Hello, friend! I am so glad you have found your way here!
Do you ever find yourself pondering what makes life truly well-lived? Do you ask yourself what are the things that matter most and how do I make them a priority? Why is it sometimes hard for me to be the person I want to be? How do I find more peace in my life? If these questions feel familiar to you, this book club might be the perfect place to explore the ideas of leaders in personal development, spirituality, and inquiry in a safe, supportive and thoughtful environment. |
Sample Authors
This group is born from the desire to explore works that grapple with some of life’s biggest questions while sharing in the community and wisdom of fellow seekers. While certain authors are widely known for being particularly helpful on the journey of self-knowledge and personal contentment, something special is added to the exploration when you can share personal experiences and learn from the lived wisdom of others.
There is no pre-determined reading list for this group. Members are encouraged to guide the direction of the group and, therefore, members will have an important voice in the selection of the material we read. Below is a list of authors whose work fits well into the scope of this group.

How This Book Group Works
Participation
Every other week, starting Sunday, September 25th, we will meet virtually via Zoom from 7:30-9:00 PM EST. If you have an out-of-town friend or family member who may be interested, please feel free to invite them to learn more about this opportunity!
The material we will be reading and the discussions that may emerge from that material are likely to be of a personal and vulnerable nature. The sharing of different perspectives and experiences is an important element of this group and, as such, creating a space in which everyone feels respected, heard, and valued is of the utmost importance. To help maintain that sense of intimacy and trust, this group is limited to a small number of participants.
Each meeting, we will assign a portion of the book to be read for the next session. The expectation is that you will have read the material ahead of time and will come prepared to discuss it thoughtfully and sincerely. Additionally, while conflicts with our meeting time will understandably and inevitably come up, everyone is asked to make attendance a priority as much as possible. This group is as much a beautiful opportunity for inquiry, community, and personal insight as it is for simply digesting the material.
Participants are free to come and go from the group at the completion of any book and before a new book has begun. For example, if your upcoming schedule will make it difficult to participate fully in an upcoming series, you are welcome to step away from the group until the timing better suits your situation. In the interim, others may be invited to join the group in order to ensure lively conversation and multiple perspectives.
