Sakyadhita UK – Forthcoming Events
Book club for women continues Thursday, 14 Nov 2024 (The Hidden Lamp)
Sakyadhita UK hosts a monthly book club for women, featuring works of Buddhist women writers.
We began our journey with The Hidden Lamp edited by Florence Caplow and Susan Moon, on 21 Sept 2023. The monthly book group’s next gathering is Thursday, 14 Nov 2024 at 7 pm (UK time). Please know these are stand-alone sessions, so it’s fine to come on for the first time without having attended previously.
Please register your interest via our email address. You’ll be sent the link for joining.
The book club itself is offered freely, however you need to purchase the book.
If you’ve attended the book club, please feel free to send feedback about your experience, via our email address. This can help us in decision-making regarding future book club gatherings.
