Sip n’ Share

In our sip n’ share book circle we co-create an informal space that welcomes each of us to show up, as we are, in that moment.

There’s no hidden agenda, no judgement and no rush.

Simply connection over a book.

I host these gatherings in a Thinking Environment. No previous experience is required, just a promise to listen to each other, with interest, and without interrupting.

We may not always finish the book but we can count on being able to finish our sentence...
