The Silent Book Club Gathering with Fumika Mori
9am UK, 6pm Sydney, 8pm NZ
Join us for a cozy Silent Book Club session! Did you know that reading silently can ease muscle tension and slow down our heart rate?*
Bring any book you’re currently reading (or have been meaning to start reading!), settle in, and enjoy 30 minutes of quiet reading together. Afterwards, we’ll share thoughts, discoveries, and conversations sparked by our books.
The format: after 30 minutes of reading individually, in small groups, each person will have about five minutes to share: what book you’re reading, why you chose it, and your main takeaway so far. After that, we’ll open up the conversation for about 10 minutes, where we can respond to each other’s thoughts and enjoy the dialogue. Finally, we’ll close with a quick reflection from everyone before wrapping up.
Let's enjoying reading together, being inspired by what others are exploring, and building connection through shared time.
~Participant Testimonial~
"This group exceeded my expectations. I wanted to join as an antidote to the increase in distractedness and decrease in book reading that I have noticed in the last few years. Although we only read for 30 minutes, I got more from that time as there was a responsibility to the group to maintain focus. The optional feedback time was enjoyable and helped to imbed the insights of reading. Fumika has a wonderful presence that holds space beautifully and I think it would be well worth your time to check it out."
