Book Explorations and Discussions
Spark your intellectual curiosity
"What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die."
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instruction of Writing and Life
Part scholarly adventure, part contemplative space, part cultural connection. Led by a trained facilitator in these gatherings, seekers and leaders commune to reflect and discuss thought-provoking texts and how they might apply in your daily life and in your community.

"Patty’s classes and workshops are both informative and stimulative of fresh thinking and new insights. Drawing from a rich variety of interspiritual resources, academic research and real-life experiences, she encourages a collaborative learning environment for those on the spiritual quest who also seek to join others in making the world a better place for all people everywhere."
Tina and Will Bailey
“Hillary's quiet, confident, joyful way of interacting with others creates an inviting, non-threatening space. She listens intently - I think seeking to hear both what is being said and the unspoken words that hang in the air. Sitting with her, I experience the freedom to express my truth, discern what is most important to me, and confront my shadow. I often leave the meeting feeling as if I have come home to myself.”
Linda Bourianoff
“Patty presents a world of information in a concise, relatable and accessible way. Her depth of knowledge, pulled from many spiritual traditions, literature, and science enables her to incorporate a variety of resources in a way that fosters insight and growth. Patty is deeply compassionate and listens FULLY without judgment, creating an atmosphere of trust and community.”
Colleen Winter
“I have found Patty to be a very skilled, competent, caring leader/facilitator, who has a keen ability to listen with her heart and respond from a reservoir of deep knowledge. She is intimately familiar with a vast literature of spiritually relevant thinkers. Always her intent is to lead us into deeper understanding of life and ourselves and to enable us to see the connections between all things."
Linda Bourianoff
“I was a practicing litigation attorney and father of four searching for a deeper spiritual connection and a more personal compass to navigate my moral dilemmas. From that time until now Patty has become and remained an essential guide. Through programs and retreats she has designed and led and one to one spiritual guidance she has offered me, she has remained a light on my path.”
