Each month, there is a free event at the Rainbows Café in Clifton, to discuss an inspirational book in the area of wellbeing, mind body spirit & personal development.

 

We will meet at the Rainbow café from 6.30pm, giving us time to get some lovely food, ( I can personally testify to the delicious Quiche and scones!) and/or drinks, meet and connect with likeminded people before the discussion of the book starts at 7.30pm.

 

We’ll choose a different book each month, (please feel free to recommend personal favorites) and there will be a facilitated discussion of key themes, principles and (where relevant) skills & practices from the book.   It is not essential that you have read the book, as we will be using it as a starting points for wider discussion of the themes and areas that resonate with the group.

 

This is an informal yet informative evening, which combines stimulating, and thought provoking discussion within a friendly and heart lead space.

 

The book chosen by the group for Jan is : Awareness by Anthony De Mello - link to Amazon page. We started talking about some subject matter from the book last night and it already proves a great book for discussion and exploration
