Armchair Adventure – No-Homework Book Group (online)

Date: Tuesday 2nd September   /   Time: 7:30pm - 8:30pm

One for the “Book Voyagers” – Travel from the comfort of your own home. 

For our next book group, rather than focusing on one book, we will discuss and compare notes on our own reading on the theme of travel – however you interpret that!   

No set homework. No pressure. Just stories and community.

You are welcome to join in even if you haven’t opened or finished a book recently.  This is an opportunity to share your reading discoveries and pick up some new suggestions. A relaxed, informal, and social way to connect with other readers.

Our Book Group is drop-in friendly, attendance is flexible, and you join-in when you choose to, no guilt.

We aim to center the experience around relaxed and informal discussion, themes, and community rather than finishing chapters. We value open dialogue, diverse viewpoints, and thoughtful exploration.

Enjoy lively conversation, and a Zoom room full of people who care about ideas, ethics, and being human in the world.

Kindly facilitated by our volunteer book group facilitators Gillian, Jenny, and Shelley.

We would like to foster a respectful and brave online space, where everyone feels welcome. We ask participants to be open to different interpretations and life experiences, and to listen actively with curiosity.

To hear about other upcoming Book Group events please subscribe to our Book Group newsletter.
