We are excited to introduce a new weekly gathering at Engedi. Our book club is designed to be simple, relaxed, and community focused. This is not an academic discussion group and it is not meant to feel like homework. It is simply a chance to gather, enjoy one another’s company, and have something meaningful to talk about.
We will meet on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8 pm, gathering on the Zest patio next door. Conversation will be informal and guided by a few open ended prompts. Reading will be light and flexible. There is no pressure to finish every page and no expectation that everyone will speak.
There is no cost to attend the book club. Scott also teaches a 5:45 pm yoga class on Thursdays in the studio, and you are always welcome to join. When class wraps up, we will walk next door together and settle in for book club.
How it will work
This is a weekly gathering built around ease and connection.
• Flexible reading with no pressure to keep up
• Community first, reading second
• Open conversation, honest takes, and no expectations
Choosing our first book
To get started, we are offering a few book options and inviting suggestions from the group. Once suggestions are gathered, we will vote and commit to our first selection.
Our initial book options include
• I Cheerfully Refuse
• The Thursday Murder Club
• Remarkably Bright Creatures
We are also partnering with our local independent bookshop, Inklings, to help order books or audiobooks once a selection is made. There is no obligation to purchase through them, but we love supporting local when we can.
More details will be shared soon. If you are looking for a relaxed way to connect, slow down, and enjoy good conversation, we would love to have you join us.
