If you've ever wanted to be part of a book club, but can't find time to do the homework, join us! We'll check in at the beginning, then read aloud from writings on care and community we've found meaningful. Some will volunteer to read while others are invited to continue doing life while listening- washing dishes, walking, fixing dinner, caretaking on mute, and then joining for discussion after the reading is complete. Afterwards, we'll ask: what did we learn? How does it fit into our actual lives? Our goal is to let the reading be in conversation with life, and make a book club more accessible for folks who don't have time or ability to read independently.
