Our book club is a rotation of beauty, art, and aesthetics — a space to explore what moves us, challenges us, and delights our senses. We gather to read, discuss, and reflect on works that illuminate creativity in all its forms, from visual art to literature to philosophy. Each session is designed to nourish curiosity, spark conversation, and cultivate a deeper awareness of how beauty shapes the way we see the world — and ourselves.
Whether you’re an artist, writer, thinker, or simply someone who wants to notice more, this is a place to slow down, pay attention, and explore the creative threads that run through daily life.
CURRENTLY READING + DISCUSSING
NEXT MEETING: Week 7 Discussion | Sunday, May 3rd from 4PM-5PM
Many people subtly suspect they are more creative than their lives currently allow.
The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron was written for exactly this person. Structured as a 12-week process, the book helps readers recover their creative life through a few deceptively simple practices — most famously Morning Pages (three handwritten pages each morning) and Artist Dates (small weekly excursions designed to nourish curiosity).
For many readers, the book functions as something unexpectedly powerful: a permission slip to make things again, be curious, and to take creativity seriously without needing to justify it.
I completed the program once before and found it meaningful enough that I’m beginning it again three years later, this time in the company of others.
This book club is for anyone who feels the call to creativity but hasn’t quite made space for it yet — writers, artists, entrepreneurs, thinkers, or simply the creatively curious.
If you’re planning to join, I recommend first calling or stopping by our local bookstores to purchase the book: Spellbound Bookery and Pages Turned, LLC. Our local Books-A-Million also carries the book. For those who prefer online shopping, many independent bookstores ship, and Amazon is available as a last resort. If you aren’t able to get a copy before our next gathering on Sunday, May 3rd, I’m happy to print Chapter 6: Recovering a Sense of Connection so you can still participate.
What to bring:
• A copy of The Artist’s Way
• A notebook or journal
• A pen or pencil you enjoy writing with
Every so often, a small invitation arrives at the precise moment it’s needed, and perhaps, just perhaps, it has found you.
