what we’re doing

We have 2 in person sessions together.

We will discuss 4 books at each session.

As there are 8 of you, you’ll pair up to read and then present one book to the rest of the group. We’ll then discuss the themes and questions that arise from each book.

While you only need to read your own book, we’d encourage you as many of the other books as you can to get the most out of the workshops. We’ve selected shorter books (some are only 100-200 pages) so there’s not an impossible amount of reading to do.

I’ll be here to support your reading, provide you with resources and facilitate the discussion but the books are here for you to interpret, not me!
