“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” ― Virginia Woolf
Within the Circle, you are not Anonymous; you are uniquely and wonderfully You. We practice “thick listening” by creating and holding space for each woman to be her authentic self. Every session is unique with the meeting’s theme selected and discussion facilitated by different Circle members as they are called to lead. All who identify as women are invited to participate in an atmosphere of trust, confidentiality, and beloved community. Newcomers and visitors joyously welcomed. We maintain a FRAGRANCE-FREE environment. For information or a copy of the Circle’s covenant, please contact Sue Coppernoll – starbrst@cox.net / 445.6875 or Shawna Thorup – mrsthorup@gmail.com/ 445.7200
10. UUFF Book Group Meeting, June 20th
We will meet at 7 pm on Thursday, June 20th to discuss the book and recent feature film made for the book, “The Life of Pi” by Yann Martel. We’ll also discuss how our vision of Pi’s reality differed from the version he told in the book and why his fantastical version needed to be recounted the way it was.
NOTE: Please watch the movie on your own time at some point before Book Group meeting or come to the McShane residence at 5 pm on June 20th to watch the movie with the group prior to discussion time. Email Nancy for details (nancy.mcshane@att.net)
