The Well-Lighted
Book Club
Igniting Collective Wisdom
Over and over again the power of reading a book of wisdom as a group has proven to ignite individual and collective wisdom, expand perspective, deepen insight, and encourage greater real-life application. For this reason, I invite you to the Well-Lighted Book Club, a virtual space where together we will explore, laugh, question, and learn.
We are about to embark on an exploration of aging with Ram Dass through his book STILL HERE.
With his wonderful sense of humor, wisdom and vulnerable honesty, Ram Dass walks with us into the many dimensions of aging, loving and letting go. “The man who blazed a spiritual trail for his generation brings his wisdom and humor to the path that takes us to the end of life – and beyond.”
“Ram Dass is a superb writer. His example of gentleness and loving compassion is infused with profound wisdom of the heart and mind, a welcome sense of humor and savvy effectiveness in the real world.” ~ San Francisco Chronicle
I hope you will join us in the Well-Lighted Book Club for an honest and open exploration of life, aging and the great mystery of which we are all a part of.

Testimonials
Julie’s broad knowledge of spiritual traditions, frank honesty, and humor guide and deepen group members’ understanding of both familiar and new concepts.
Navigating my life as a caregiver brought me to Julie’s book studies group. Several years later, that first experience has opened my heart to much more. Each book selection has expanded self-knowledge and offered fresh explorations on my life’s path.
During weekly discussions, Julie’s broad knowledge of spiritual traditions, frank honesty, and humor guide and deepen group members’ understanding of both familiar and new concepts. I look forward to gaining new insights with every turn of the page.

Julie a gifted facilitator who guides us to look deeper and lovingly tend to those parts of us that interfere with living more fulfilling lives.
I’m grateful for Julie’s book studies that help to ground me in times of illness, upheaval and uncertainty. In addition to selecting wise authors, she’s a gifted facilitator who guides us to look deeper, uncover underlying sensitive wounds and lovingly tend to those parts of us that interfere with living a more fulfilling life. And her sense of humor is delightful!

The conversations generated within Julie’s very expertly led groups are exceptional.
Participation in Julie’s book studies brings understanding of the book to a whole new level, as she deftly creates a space for insightful conversation about what jumps out of the book for each of us. I am an avid reader and have been part of many book clubs AND the conversations generated within Julie’s very expertly led groups are exceptional and provide much food for thought.
