Interest in book club

A number of people from our SIM community have expressed interest in participating in a book club or study group focusing on the Dharma. If the interest is strong enough maybe we can informally start a morning group and also an evening group for those that work during the day and maybe we can start these groups in February 2019. We will also be looking for someone to help facilitate the group(s).

The key to a successful group is a commitment to participate in both discussion and attendance. Each group can discuss what might be a good book choice or may just present the book to be read. The groups can meet once or twice a month to discuss chapters and share insights. In the past, many people have found that these kinds of groups have become a great way to build one’s understanding of the Dharma, make new friends, and deepen their practice.

If you have an interest in joining such a group, please use the form below to contact Terri Townsend and/or attend the first startup meeting.

During a community discussion this past August,Terri Townsend spoke about this book club idea. Click here to listen to Terri’s description. You’ll want to advance to time marker 31 minutes and 44 seconds to hear Terri’s portion of the audio.
