Bookmarks & Breath
A Quarterly Book Club for Curious Readers and Honest Conversation
Some of the best dharma conversations happen away from the cushion — over a book, a cup of tea, and a table full of people willing to say what they actually think. Bookmarks & Breath is that kind of space.
Each quarter, we read a book together and meet in person at RIM for an hour of circle-style discussion using question cards inspired by the reading. Everyone gets a few minutes to share, supported by a timer so all voices are heard. The atmosphere is relaxed, curious, and human — no pressure to sound wise or polished.
Currently reading: Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach — a warm, relatable exploration of meeting ourselves and our lives with a little more compassion.
Who it’s for: Anyone who likes to read and talk about what they’ve read. No meditation experience needed.
