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.

This session we will go through Anne Lamott’s book, “Dusk Night Dawn”.  As always, she speaks raw truth infused with honesty, humor and a tender heart.

The book’s jacket says it best: “Lamott shows us the intimate and individual ways we can adopt to move through life’s dark places and toward the light of hope that still burns for all of us.  Full of the honesty, humor and humanity that have made Anne Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Dusk, Night, Dawn is thoughtful and comic, warm and wise – and further proof that Lamott truly speaks to the better angels in all of us.”

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.
