Collective Book Circles: A new kind of book club
Organizing a book circle is a beautiful way to bring people together to think, talk and imagine together–it can even be a kind of collective visioning. People build a common language, deepen relationships and make connections that generate all sorts of unexpected power. Chapter Two of Collective Visioning, “Laying the Groundwork for Collective Visioning,” has many ideas that could apply to organizing a book circle, including how to bring diverse groups together, how to find and recruit people that bring varied experiences and points of view to the group, how to create a welcoming and inclusive space, building trust and helping people work together so that everyone has an equal say. Find out how you can start a Collective Book Circle. For the first ten groups who contact us here to let us know that you’re starting a book club, we’ll send a copy of Spirit in Action’s Guide to Working in Diverse Groups for each of the participants in your group! |
