The Women’s Book Group gathers on Tuesdays from 6:30-8pm in the Bookstore Conference Rm. Copies of the Book will be available in our Unity Bookstore.
Unity Book Study Groups are a great way to take a deep dive into your spiritual growth and open your heart to new ways of approaching your spirituality, while participating in a guided journey through some of the most insight filled mystical and metaphysical books by today’s leading authors on the path of enlightenment.
Deb King has a rich background in facilitating many book groups and loves to bring her own open hearted approach to sharing everyone’s perspective in her discussions. Each week, she will prompt you with questions about that week’s reading and encourage you to share your stories that have been inspired by your own personal journey on the spiritual path of awakening.
There is a syllabus posted below and an assigned reading for the first group meeting so be sure to register soon !
