Book Studies for Spiritual Connection
These book gatherings provide a sacred space for personal growth, connection, and exploration of thought-provoking literature. Led by Chris Flynn (bio below), discussions foster deep reflection and an opportunity to engage with wisdom traditions in a supportive community.
Facilitated by Chris Flynn (bio below), we dive into a selection of books throughout the year. Each offering includes both morning and evening group options to accommodate different schedules, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate.
Open to all, these sessions foster a welcoming environment for exploration, discussion, and connection as we journey through each book together.
