Join us for Kucheh Kollective’s monthly Book Klub event! We will be discussing Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits by Laila Lalami.

_____________

While the book will be a starting point for our discussions, this book club is not meant to be academically rigorous or intimidating, but rather a safe space for community and connection. We encourage readers and non-readers alike to join!

Discussions will consider the intersection between the themes from the selected book and our personal and emotional experiences. Our time together includes:

• Group sharing

• Small group sharing

• Tea and Sweets (feel free to bring your own snack!)

Please read or listen to the selected book in advance. If you register and are unable to complete the book prior to the event or unable to attend for any reason, please contact Kucheh Kollective (kuchehkollective@gmail.com) so another individual may have the opportunity to attend.

By registering for Book Klub, please note you will receive emails from the organizers from the Kucheh Kollective email (kuchehkollective@gmail.com) prior to and after the event.

While this is a free event, we encourage you to consider making a donation if you can! 100% of the donations will be invested into the future of Book Klub.
