Existential Reading Group (Grenoside)
A bi-monthly (3rd Sunday of the month) existential reading group aimed at deepening self-awareness, self-understanding and self-connection.
An informal, friendly, online group (of no more than 8 participants).
Please join the waitlist if the event has sold out.
July's book choice: "If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him!" by Sheldon Kopp
(Questions to aid reflection on the book’s themes can be found here: Words for Wellness website)
(This group is also available online on the same day 4.30-6.30pm)
This ongoing bi-monthly Existential Reading Group is for anyone with an interest in exploring existential themes (e.g. love, freedom, responsibility, death, meaning, hope, joy, loneliness, etc.) through literature and discussion of literature, both fiction and non-fiction.
The aim of the workshop is to enable participants to enhance their well-being through developing self-awareness, self-understanding and self-connection through reading and discussion.
The group is part book club, part philosophy group, with (hopefully) some therapeutic benefit. No experience of attending anything like this before is necessary.
What you will need: Ideally, but not essentially, to have read the book (or some of it) up for discussion, and an open, curious mind.
Teas, coffees and light refreshments (including vegan options) will be provided.
Please note: these workshops are for adults aged 18 and over. Refunds are only available up to 7 days before the event.
