Book Discussion

For this gathering, there is no pre-selected title. Come prepared to discuss your personal pick, whether it’s a recent read or a longtime favorite. As the group grows, we will transition to monthly group reads selected several months in advance, chosen with input from the group.

Cultures of Remembrance: Ancestor Practices Worldwide
