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.

Both living the stories as well as writing the book have broken me open, healed me and become part of my very fabric. This is a book about life, love, courage and being transformed by life and living it fully.

“Healing is about much more than curing as Julie Interrante vividly shows in this marvelous book. I am reminded of the mythic legend of the wounded healer, who is paradoxically empowered by his own woundedness. Thank you, Julie, Interrante, for revealing the complexity and wonder of the healing journey.” ~ Larry Dossey, MD, Author of The Power of Premonitions

From the book’s cover ~ “The Power of a Broken-Open Heart* is not an instruction manual. Nor is it a set of religious guidelines. Rather, it is a down-to-earth exploration of vulnerability and change. Ultimately it offers a new lens on life’s gift of transitions.”

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.
