The Great Books Reading Group is not a literature club. It is a discussion group that uses a multidisciplinary approach to learning and exploring the past and present. We are reading from the St. John's College Reading List. As we read foundational texts in the Western tradition, we examine mysticism, history, theology, the earth and physical sciences, mathematics, philosophy and government, as well as art, literature and music.

Meet for wine (or beer), espresso and decadent desserts (or nachos) and engage with other singles in stimulating conversation on a wide range of topics ... politics, literature, the arts, philosophy, sports, your past travels and wish list ...

This is for all who want to reach out to socialize and dialog with people of different cultures and countries. It is also a group who explores the shared histories, cultures, arts, and literature between the two sides of the Atlantic.

The DC area is a very internationally oriented community so I hope we can come together for a great time: discussions, happy hours, social event …

… We can be supported and inspired in this journey by: Wisdom literature (such as Pathwork Lectures) While there are many valuable sources of Wisdom literature, this is a Pathwork group and we are not incorporating outside literature. We are not comparing Pathwork with other approaches. Doing so would take us away from our aim of personal application and growth. Hearing and reflecting on the journeys of other committed travelers.  How am I like that? Journaling about what gets stirred in us …
