LOW KEY. UN-SELFCONSCIOUS. NO HIDING.
At last! A weekly book club where we talk about really interesting books while eating really tasty snacks (that none of us had to prepare) - and then decide how to apply what we're learning until we meet again next week.
In this crew of merrymakers, we prioritize mischief, irreverence, intellectual connection and new insights - all in a context of radical mutual support, where we are each seen in our magnificent genius.
And we do all of this together, in person, in a convivial café here in Central Vermont.
Want to join, but you don’t live in central VT? No problem - through the magic of Zoom! We’ll prop the computer on the table so you can join the fun. If there are enough Zoom-ista Mischief Queens to form a separate cohort, we’ll add another Zoom-only weekly meeting time.
Each month, I will curate an unexpected, interesting mashup of selections from excellent books. Juxtaposing ideas that are similar and dissimilar (and sometimes seem to have very little to do with each other), turning them over like emeralds in the light, we’ll find fascinating synergies and fresh new perspectives.
No, we will not be reading several entire books per month in their entirety - this isn’t school, and we are definitely not here to stress ourselves out with additional to-do’s.
The monthly mashup will include portions of excellent books that, taken together, create dynamic and fascinating conversations.
(But if, like me, reading several of these per month is your JAM, you do you, and we will applaud your enthusiasm!)
Between meetings, we’ll all read/listen to the audiobook of the selections of the month, enjoy optional prompts from the gorgeous light-touch notebooks I’ve created for us, and experiment with the things we decided to try out that week.
When we reconvene the next week, we’ll check in on our chosen actions, notice what’s developing in the landscape of our lives, and encourage each other to soar to ever-more satisfying heights.
Mischief Queens is happily full for April-May-June of 2024!
Sign up now for July-Aug-September. Tentative meeting dates are Thursday or Friday mornings from 8-9 am.
The investment: $599/quarter (less than the investment for a single coaching session per month!) + reading time outside of group + willingness to bring your particular genius, and thoughtful, friendly good humor to our meetings.
Book club includes:
raucous weekly meetings, with the final week off every month (but reserved on our calendars - we use it for extra reading and digestion time!)
tasty snacks selected by you at the café according to your desire in that moment,
a simple but beautiful notebook I’ve made for us with pages of prompts and tons of room for your own notes and drawings,
an optional but sometimes-hilarious Mischief Queens text group where we can share insights and egg each other on,
and the high regard, goodwill and nourishing company of an outrageous band of high-octane people,
all led by an irreverent and deeply trained professional coach who’s also a voracious reader and committed auto-didact.
