the Book Club
Where you learn more from the meeting than reading.
Hold up…
No really, it's a Book Club that doesn't actually require reading.
Obviously, you CAN read the book but you don’t have to…
When I ran the Book Club in the prison, only some of the men actually finished the books and I found it didn’t really matter. As long as I had good questions that drew out the main ideas of the book, we would have really good discussions.
This time I’m taking it a step further…
In addition to reflection questions, I’ve created exercises that are adapted from the main ideas of the books, So you can experience them.
How does it work?
You simply show up ready to meet new people and have fun. We’ll always focus on one of the 9 shifts and we’ll workshop something you need help with right now. You might tell a story and you’ll definitely hear from others. It might sound a little scary but I promise it’s not, you’re going to have a lot of fun, feel A LOT better than before the meeting and you might get unstuck on a thing or two.
“Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces”
— Ann Voskamp
the Book Club is that safe space to share stories…
Still not sure? Let’s see if we can help…
the Book Club is for you if you…
Have commitment issues.
(It’s a low investment to dip a toe in here at Shift from Shame)
Are strapped for cash.
(I get it. That’s why pricing starts at $33)
Don’t have time to read.
(You can read the book but there is no pressure if you don’t finish)
Are looking for community.
(It’s hard finding community with La Covida Loca running wild)
the Book Club isn’t for you if you…
Hate books.
(You don’t have to read but you still need to have a love for books)
Are looking to shame people.
(That’s going to be a no for me dwag)
Don’t have time to come to the meeting.
(Either you show up or you miss it, no worries there’s always next month)
You hate people and don’t want community.
(You probably don’t feel shame so we wouldn’t have that much in common)
