Book Circle: Connecting Through Conversations
Parable of the Sower
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.
In March, we will be reading, Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler.
"The time is 2025. The place is California, where small walled communities must protect themselves from hordes of desperate scavengers and roaming bands of people addicted to a drug that activates an orgasmic desire to burn, rape, and murder. When one small community is overrun, Lauren Olamina, an 18 year old black woman with the hereditary train of 'hyperempathy' -- which causes her to feel others' pain as her own -- sets off on foot along the dangerous coastal highways, moving north into the unknown."
