A Reflective Reading Circle

Books That Open Us is an ongoing, Zoom-based reading circle for those who long for a slower rhythm and meaningful conversation around books that invite reflection and presence.

We read slowly to explore themes, notice what stirs within us, and listen to one another with care. This is not a book club focused on analysis or productivity but a reflective space grounded in curiosity, personal insight, and shared experience.

Each series meets every other week for one hour. Between gatherings, participants receive gentle reflection prompts and optional journaling invitations to companion their reading. Participants will need to purchase their own copy of the book before we begin.

Whether you are spiritual, religious, secular, or somewhere in between, you are welcome here.
