Not Another Book Group Book Group

US$45.00

Not Another Book Group Book Group (NABGBG) is a small group experience where folks wrestle with and wonder about and even practice the kinds of things that make life feel a bit more connected, a bit more alive—the kinds of things we often wish we could talk about but often shove to the side in the comings and goings of our days.

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 include: The Why of Ritual (January 6), On Big and Little 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.

The book for this session of NABGBG is:

From Beginning to End: the Rituals of Our Lives—an exploration of the what, where and how of ritual and why ritual matters.

We’ll talk about the big rituals of life and explore how simple acts on any given day can bring a bit more joy, hope, connection and care into the everyday ordinary, too. Personal. Practical. And possibly even life-changing (it’s happened).

Over the years we’ve read Anne Lamott, Thomas Moore, Brené Brown, Padriag O’Tuama, Richard Rohr, and others with an eye for seeing the sacred in the simple stuff of life. We’ve explored (among other things) grief, good, things-that-are-considered-sacred, community, blessing, gratitude, grace, prayer, and hope…and along the way have conjured up a lot of “A-ha!”s, more than a few “Huh…”s, and a whole lot of “Damn, I hadn’t thought of it that way before…”. People don’t necessarily walk away with a lot of hard-and-fast, once-and-for-all answers to the questions that come up in these sessions, but we all walk away with insights that shape us for the better.

It’s so good. As one participant once put it: “This is the best part of my week…”
