Reading Club

Reading as Ritual. Listening as Practice. Gathering in Reflection.

This is not your usual book club.
Here, we read slowly. We pause. We allow the words to land—not only in the mind, but in the body.

Each gathering invites us to explore texts that open the heart, awaken inquiry, and deepen our connection to life, grief, healing, and ancestral wisdom.
Books become portals. Conversations become ceremony.

You don’t need to be a fast reader. You don’t need to have the “right” thoughts.
You just need to show up with an open heart, and let the story meet you.

How It Works

  • We choose a book or a selection of texts aligned with themes such as grief, ancestral connection, feminine wisdom, or spiritual inquiry.

  • We meet online in a small group setting.

  • Sessions include:

    • Opening with a grounding practice

    • Reading excerpts together

    • Reflective sharing (optional)

    • Space for silence, feeling, and questions

Each gathering is slow, intentional, and gently held. You don’t have to finish the book — the magic is in how the words land, not how fast we turn the pages.

Themes We Explore

  • Grief and remembrance

The reading club is less about analyzing and more about relating.
Less about understanding, more about feeling.
