A Different Kind of Book Club
Come back to what matters. Explore a quieter kind of happiness.
Looking for more than just a good read?
This September, we’re reading Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness by Sharon Salzberg.
It’s a simple, thoughtful book about learning to relate to yourself and others with more care and less reactivity.
Not about being nice. Not about pretending everything’s fine.
It’s about honesty, awareness, and building the kind of strength that doesn’t need to shout.
It’s not about looking like you’ve got it all figured out.
It’s about showing up, being real, and exploring what matters together.

If you’re tired of self-help advice that feels disconnected from real life, this book might feel like a breath of fresh air.
It doesn’t promise a fix, it offers a different lens.
One rooted in presence, kindness, and showing up just as you are.
Where am I being hard on myself without realizing it?
What happens when I stop reacting and start listening?
How can I meet conflict without abandoning myself or the other person?
What does kindness look like in daily life, not just theory?
What You Can Expect:
Real, grounded conversation, not surface-level talk
Reflections on compassion, presence, and steadying the heart
Tools that meet you where you are, without pressure
A thoughtful, welcoming group that values depth and honesty
This Might Be for You If...
You’ve been feeling a bit off-center
You’re craving more meaning, not more noise
You want to explore things that actually matter, with others who care
You don’t need a fix, you just want some space to reflect and reconnect
TOPICS WE’LL EXPLORE
You don’t need to have read the whole book. Just come as you are.
