How It Works

Each month, a "cohort" is formed - a group of up to 10 members reading a given book. We read one book per month, and the book is decided by a group vote. 
 

During meetings, we’ll have time to meet, pour tea, and chat before diving into a casual discussion. Our host Anna will prepare discussion questions to help guide conversation as needed, but the format is casual. There will be time after to visit, chat, and explore the gardens. 
 

First meeting - We’ll discuss the first half of the book 

Second meeting - We’ll discuss the second half of the book and propose books for the following month.
 

We encourage all those so sign up to commit to the readings! Although if you don’t finish, please come and enjoy the discussion anyway.

Questions?
 

​Is there a max group size?
Yes, we will cap each cohort at 10 participants to ensure everyone has a chance to speak during meetings.

Where do I get the book - do I need to buy it?
Participants will supply their own books. No need to buy it, most books can be rented through the local library. ThriftBooks is a great online resource for buying used books. 

 

What is the space like at B-Street?

B-Street is a beautiful natural area alongside Gales Creek, full of gardens and fruit and nut trees. During nice weather, we'll gather outdoors and soak it all in! During colder weather without rain, we'll still be outdoors, bundled up around a warming fire with tea. In rain, we have a couple of indoor space options to keep us dry and cozy. 
 

Is the space accessible? 

Yes, there is parking on site prioritized for folks who require accessibility. All areas we utilize are ADA friendly.
