Reading Rainbow! / Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high / Take a look, it's in a book, / A Reading Rainbow!/ I can go anywhere / Friends to know, and ways to grow / A Reading Rainbow! /I can be anything / Take a look, it's in a book / A Reading Rainbow / Reading Rainbow!/Ooooooooooh — Chaka Khan
Reading Rainbow For Grown Ups is a monthly gathering during which we learn and integrate key ideas from great books into your actual life.
These monthly gatherings are an upgraded version of book club. Book clubs are great but they always seem to fade away, don’t they? The scheduling, the reading the book on time, the discussion not being what it could be—it just doesn’t quite satiate in the long run the way books and community can.
RRFGU means that do not have to read the book, you do not have to prepare, and you do not have to figure out who is hosting next. You get to show up, receive the key ideas in a way that inspires you and enables you to actually implement them in your life, and connect in the process with other kind, thoughtful, excited people. A professional facilitator (hello, it’s nice to meet you) will guide the group and small groups so that you walk away lit up, saying “damn, what a great conversation with such cool people.” No energy-zapping small talk, no pressure to make anything happen, just a lazy river of excellent community and life-changing ideas.
