You’re invited to our virtual book circle on The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, & Healing in a Toxic Culture by Gabor Mate, MD, a leading physician, author, and teacher who is drawing connections between our individual and collective health amidst the stress and pressures of our modern capitalist culture.  

This book circle is ideal for Community Leaders, Circle & Restorative Justice Practitioners, Pastors, Educators, Organizers, Social Workers, Therapists, Medical Professionals, and/or DEIB leaders who have been integrating their own trauma and healing and desire to deepen their learning in a community of other practitioners.

Circle is an ancient practice. Many of our ancestors gathered around fires in rituals, ceremonies, and councils to forge community and make decisions collectively. The Circle Way (TCW) is a modern methodology integrating various traditions and ancient approaches to Circle. In practice, and when hosted with equity at its center, Circle can serve us with a form and design that animate our togetherness, our sense of belonging to one another and the work we are called to do in the world.

Chantilly is excited to host a 2022 Fall Book Circle, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Kimmerer which will fall on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:30pm, October 12 through November 2. She is inviting Common Ground NYC friends and those interested in her project, Kin-dom Collective, to deepen our awareness of and heal our relationship with Land amidst eco-devastation and despair. She is also forming a friendship with Bashakill Family Farm and the herbalists who live there, so we might be in gentle, land-based practice together. Interested? Register here.
