The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak

"Kostas and Defne, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna and grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish. Decades later, Kostas returns. He is a botanist looking for native species, but really, he's searching for lost love."

Honor by Thrity Umrigar

"Indian American journalist Smita has returned to India to cover a story, but reluctantly: long ago she and her family left the country with no intention of ever coming back. As she follows the case of Meena—a Hindu woman attacked by members of her own village and her own family for marrying a Muslim man—Smita comes face to face with a society where tradition carries more weight than one’s own heart, and a story that threatens to unearth the painful secrets of Smita’s own past. While Meena’s fate hangs in the balance, Smita tries in every way she can to right the scales."

7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Breathing deeply and with ease is one of the most potent ways to connect with oneself. Thru restorative mindful movement and a short guided meditation we will thread the use of our gentle, subtle, natural intelligence of our breath to open the heart and calm the mind.  Once an honored relationship is developed with our breath, we gift restoration, freedom and love to every cell of our being- in a way in which you are being met, carried and supported throughout your experience of you!

  • This will be a 50 minute class ending with a 10 minute tea ceremony in which within each sip together we give honor, reverence and gratitude to all that we are in Truth.

*This program will be presented using the Zoom meeting platform, which can be viewed on a PC, Mac, Smartphone or tablet (using the Zoom Cloud Meeting App). The Zoom login information will be emailed to you the day before the program and again an hour prior to the program's start time.*

Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan

"It is 1985 in a small Irish town. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bill Furlong, a coal merchant and family man faces into his busiest season. Early one morning, while delivering an order to the local convent, Bill makes a discovery which forces him to confront both his past and the complicit silences of a town controlled by the church."

Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson

"Everyone in my family has killed someone. Some of us, the high achievers, have killed more than once. I’m not trying to be dramatic, but it is the truth. Some of us are good, others are bad, and some just unfortunate.  I’m Ernest Cunningham. Call me Ern or Ernie. I wish I’d killed whoever decided our family reunion should be at a ski resort, but it’s a little more complicated than that.  Have I killed someone? Yes. I have.  Who was it?"
