Word & Spirit Book Group

Their Eyes Were Watching God: November 23rd

Monday, November 23rd at 7:15p in the Seabury Room

No pre-registration is required.

This past month we read Circe and talked about how our lives intersect with people we encounter on our journeys. Our November book is Zora Neale Hurston’s classic, Their Eyes Were Watching God. In conversation with the book we will ask: how far will we go to discover who we truly are? 

Word & Spirit is a book club dedicated to exploring the nature of the sacred in literary fiction. Reading fiction has been shown in multiple studies to increase empathy. When we engage in a story from another person’s perspective, we gain insight and appreciation for the lives of others and for the human condition. 

This year our meetings will take place on Tuesday evenings from 7:15-8:30pm except where date changes are noted. We will gather in the Seabury Room. Bringing snacks to share is encouraged! All of the books we will read together are available through the Woodbury Public Library and the Southbury Public Library.

Special Offer: If you plan on purchasing a copy of the book, check this out! Our friends at the Little Fox Bookshop are offering a 10% discount for Word & Spirit book purchases! Just let them know at the register when you buy any of the titles on this year’s list.
