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.
There are only a handful of authors I return to over and over throughout my life and Thich Nhat Hanh is one of them. Beginning April 18, the Well-Lighted Book Club, will return to Thich Nhat Hanh by reading and exploring The Art of Living.
Thich Nhat Hanh has been described as a cross between, a cloud, a snail and a piece of heavy machinery. I hope you will join me in learning from this loving, kind, unwavering mountain of a man.
From the book’s jacket: “Showing us how to live a more peaceful and active life, he enables us to face aging and dying with curiosity and joy. Timeless and inspiring prose, The Art of Living is a unique blueprint for modern life”
Please join us in the Well-Lighted Book Club for this timely, relevant and important exploration of The Art of Living
Thursdays beginning April 18, 2024 through June 6, 2024 (8 weeks)
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM PST
Cost: $280
(2 recurring payments of $140)
We meet by Zoom which affords people who are not local to participate in the book group.
You will receive a link each Wednesday for the following Thursday’s group.
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.
