Drop-in welcomed!On 13 April (Mon) we'll be reading Wide-Eyed by Tracy Aston "I have been coming to the meetings for a few weeks now and have loved the experience. It is such a delight and privilege to sit down with no agenda, no previous expectation other than a total openness to the text in front of me. And what texts these have been! A collection of truly wonderful writing which reverberate with me for the rest of the week. I am an avid reader but this is different. It is about a shared experience; something magical happens when a story is ‘consumed’ in connection with others. There is a different kind of understanding, a communal and expanded conscientiousness perhaps. " "Shared Reading is like entering a big house and together you start opening different doors, and by going into each and every room you learn so many new things within just an hour. It’s a fantastic experience."
