✨ What The Book Club: Masks vs Mirrors ✨
Theme: Daring to Be Yourself
We all wear masks. Some to fit in, some to stay safe, some so practiced we forget they’re even there. But what happens when we choose the mirror instead? When we look deeply at who we really are—and dare to show that self to the world?
Join us for What The Book Club as we explore Masks vs Mirrors, a conversation about authenticity, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to be truly seen.
📖 About the Format:
What The Book Club isn’t your typical single-book discussion. Instead, it’s a shared space where everyone is invited to bring any book, essay, poem, or piece of writing that resonates with the day’s theme. Whether it’s a novel you love, a line from a memoir, or even non-fiction, your contribution adds depth and variety to our conversation.
💬 What to Expect:
✨ A warm, welcoming circle of readers
📚 Sharing reflections on books, essays, or experiences that shaped our understanding of self-expression
🗣️ Open, thoughtful discussion guided by questions on authenticity, approval, and belonging
📝 Optional journaling prompts to take your insights deeper
🤝 Connection with other curious readers
💫 Who It’s For:
Anyone who has ever felt torn between who they are and who they’re “supposed” to be. Readers and non-readers alike are welcome—we care more about your thoughts than your homework.
💰 Contribution: $5 to organiser
Come as you are. Bring your story. Let’s talk about the art (and the risk) of showing up true.
How to Participate:
Select a Book: Choose a book that explores themes of power and powerlessness. This can be fiction or non-fiction, contemporary or classic. Be ready to share key insights and passages that resonate with you.
Prepare Your Thoughts: Reflect on how the book you've chosen addresses the theme. Think about how the characters' experiences with power or powerlessness relate to your own life or to current events.
Engage and Share: During the meetup, be ready to participate actively in discussions. Respectful listening and sharing will enhance our collective understanding of these profound themes.
