Silent Reading Picnic - Books, Breakfast, Meditation & Cosy Chats

There's a particular pleasure in reading next to someone. No pressure to perform or fill the silence. Just being together in the quiet of nature, each inside their own inner world, while knowing we could surface and find someone to share it with.

Let's slowly close the long weekend together, coated in warm greenery and soft sunshine, with breakfast, books, cosy company and meaningful chats.

HOW the morning flows ?

• Settle in with a short guided meditation, introductions, share what you're reading
• One hour of silent reading
• Afterwards, we surface and we share - what we read, what it made us feel, what it made us think about life. The conversation finds its own flow.

WHAT to bring ?

• A book (any book - the one you've been meaning to finish, or the one you can't stop thinking about)
• A blanket or something to sit on
• Breakfast, tea, snacks, pastries, something to share if you like
• Yourself, as you are

🌿 Community Guidelines

• Only attend if you’re on the attendee list.
• Listen actively and with curiosity, without interrupting.
• Engage with ideas, not individuals. We’re here to explore, learn and share, not to argue.
• Stay present - phones away, attention in the room with physical people.
• Avoid no-shows and same-day dropouts - they take a spot from someone else and you'll be flagged as "no show". If this happens, please get in touch, otherwise you’ll be removed from the next meetup. If repeated, you may be removed from the group.
• Please note that the attendee list may be adjusted to accommodate new members or when participants were flagged as late drop-outs or no-shows.
  *Photos will be taken during the event to share highlights and help grow our community. If you’d rather not be in any photos, just let us know in writing before the event - we’ll gladly respect that.
