Spirited Discussions: Read Aloud Book Study
Dear Friends,
To those of you who haven’t been with us in a while, we miss you and hope to see you here again. We are starting a new book and it’s going to be a spirited adventure!
For anyone who doesn’t yet have the book, a PDF the first half of the intro is available via e-mail – I found it compelling. On the very first page the author weaves together ideas from Socrates, Plato, Emerson, and Emily Dickenson, and then brings in Walt Whitman and C.J. Jung on the second page. (Long ago in an earlier lifetime Walt Whitman was an inspiration to me; I remember writing several papers on his poetry while in college.) Care of the Soul is not one of the books that I suggested we read next, but now there is no other book that I would rather us to be reading together.
~ Highlight from our first reading ~
“Any time you are caring for your soul you are being the therapist to yourself. The word psychotherapy consists of two greek words: psyche (soul) and therapy (care). By definition, psychotherapy is care of the soul.” (page XVI)
