Book Club 📚
A global community of learning gathered here for collective readings in social justice & healing from 2019-2020. You hosted your own gatherings locally & virtually, started practice groups, met up to read on blankets by the river, and joined authors for live discussions. Your joy & commitment in study and practice was a beautiful force.
Now that Book Club has sunset, we share all resources from past selections here for the benefit of the public. We bow in deep gratitude to the authors and to each of you for moving this transformative knowledge.
