Thursday Night Book Club With Erica McInnis

Thursday Night Book Club With Dr Erica McInnis 

Pay what you can!

A monthly group held by people of colour to showcase the talent within our community, authors and people making a difference in their communities. 

The TNBC explores the relationship among contemplative practice, politics, and activism. We are Inspired and welcome the insights of multiple contemplative lineages for achieving a kinder, healthier, and more compassionate world. We encourage dialogue on wisdom and knowledge arising from methods of contemplative inquiry, ways of embodied knowing, and intellectual disciplines. We provide this much-needed space for investigating the meeting point of contemplative wisdom and pressing social, political, and environmental challenges. 

This space is open to everyone.

Thursday, February 15th and 7:30pm -8:30 pm
