Not Another Book Group Book Group

US$45.00

The Not Another Book Group Book Group is a place to consider the kinds of things that people often wonder about but don’t stop to discuss or think about in the day-to-day comings and goings of life. In a nutshell: we take what the author has to say about the subject at hand and use that as a window into our own insights and experiences—and we learn a whole lot about life and ourselves and each other in the process. Previous sessions of NABGBG have found people wrestling with (among other things) hope, grief, grace, prayer, God, hope, sacred, and community. These explorations have conjured up “A-ha!” exclamations, more than a few “Huh…” statements, and a whole lot of “I hadn’t thought of it that way before…” admissions. We don’t necessarily walk away with a lot of hard-and-fast, once-and-for-all answers to the questions that come up in our explorations but we do walk away with insights that shape us for the better. And being shaped for the better is a good thing.

We’re starting the new year (a ritual in and of itself) with From Beginning to End: the Rituals of Our Lives—a consideration of the what, where and how of ritual and why ritual matters.

Once a month for three months, Angie Arendt will invite participants to explore the topic at hand in ways that make our own everyday, ordinary moments (and once-in-a-lifetime moments, too) seem a bit more sacred, a lot more soulful.

The details:

  • NABGBG meets online (Zoom).

  • 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesdays January 6, January 20 and February 3.

    • Themes for sessions include: The Why of Ritual (January 6), On Unions and Reunions and Beginning Again (January 20), Grief and Goodbyes and the Gift of Revival (February 3).

  • $45 includes all three sessions plus at-home prompts sent between sessions. Cost does not include the book.

Questions? Let Angie know: angie@bigstonehouse.org.

(yes, that’s Angie’s beaten up copy of this book in the photo…it is well read, well loved).
