Book Circle: Connecting Through Conversations
One Day, Everyone Will Always Been Against This
A book circle to connect as a community in a meaningful way and create a safe space to expand and deepen our understanding of the world around us. Registration required.
Join us each month in reading the chosen book and coming together in meaningful conversation that expands understanding, self-reflection, learning, and openness.
Together, we will share perspectives in safe and respectful ways inspired by books that provide expansive experiences that support the transformation of our ways of knowing, being, and living in community.
