Women's Reading
Circle
Join a fun, casual group of women who want to read and discuss books about spirituality, health, happiness, and life.
Ready to take off the reading glasses and get your groove on with Mama Gena? This selection is definitely a departure for the group, but we’re game. What a fun time it would be for you to join us as we discuss Regena Thomashauer’s Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts: Using the Power of Pleasure to Have Your Way with the World! (I’ll prepare spicy food to go along with our spicy talk.)

Here's what a participant says about the reading circle:
"I joined the women's reading circle via a friend's encouragement and
feel very fortunate to have wound up there. I have met such strong women on many different journeys and guiding us through it all is Bekki. She is an incredibly calm and peaceful presence and has created this wonderful place for women to gather. We chat about the book and topics that Bekki has asked us to think about ahead of time (our homework!), tell stories, and of course have snacks. There is something special about this place and the woman at the helm."
