Book Studies for Spiritual Connection
This is a sacred space for personal growth, connection, and exploration of thought-provoking literature. Led by Chris Flynn (bio below), these sessions foster a welcoming environment for exploration, discussion, and connection as we journey through each book together and engage with wisdom traditions in a supportive community.

“Parker Palmer is the most integral and wholehearted teaching of our age. At eighty, he has seen much, questioned everything, and returned with essential wisdom. This book will stir your soul.” …Mark Nepo, author of The Book of Awakening
“Our entire culture is in need of true elders, and you can’t be one until you have arrived there –chronologically, spiritually, and intellectually. Here’s a man who has arrived, with another book that’s a generous gift to all of us.” …Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upward
