We know it can be tough to find time and motivation to read, especially when school and work stressors are at their peak. Restorative Reading is all about building-up a community of readers who encourage each other to read when they can as a way to decompress and learn together. We also welcome members who are interested in a book, even if they can’t commit to reading it all right now. We will provide a hard-copy of the book to the first 15 people to sign up. This is a low-barrier discussion – feel free to join if you’re always reading, can’t find the time to read, or have never been much of a reader!
Our first book of the 2023 – 2024 academic year is Falling Back in Love with Being Human: Letters to Lost Souls, by Kai Cheng Thom. We can’t wait to talk all about this “transformative collection of intimate and lyrical love letters that offer a path toward compassion, forgiveness, and self-acceptance.”
Here’s how you can join
- Register. Sign-up here: https://forms.office.com/r/HEJbGLSGu0
- Get your book and start reading. The first 15 registrants will get a copy of the book from us – but feel free to join with your own copy too! We’ll arrange a pick-up day at our office. Watch your email for more information about how to get your book.
- Join our discussion. We’ll be in-touch via email to let you know when and where our first book-club meeting will be. These sessions are hybrid, so you can join from home or at our downtown office.
