Stories can awaken wonder and insight, enlighten mind and quicken spirit. Through narrative journeys we can discover long forgotten truths and awaken imagination. Join us in a shared experience of wonder tales: biographies of saints, stories of extraordinary consciousness, experiences mystical and profane, beyond mere religion, into the depths of unknowing. In this group we will read books and share insights.
We will read biographies, novels, fiction, non-fiction, science fiction, fantasy, wonder tales and memoires: February 20: Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse March 20: The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho April 17: A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle May 15: Narcissus and Goldmund, by Hermann Hesse June 19: Maya of the Inbetween, by Sita Bennett July 17: Lights on the Sea, by Miquel Reina August 21: The Shack, by William Paul Young September 18: Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramahansa Yogananda October 16: The Five People You Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom
