Hello everyone, For this session, we will be wrapping up our discussion of **10 Minutes and 38 Seconds in This Strange World** by **Elif Shafak**. The second half of the book focuses on what happens to Leila's body after she has been found dead. We will be following her friends as they advocate for her. Will Leila find peace in death after such a tumultuous life? Will her friends find justice for her despite all the odds? Let's find out together! I expect you to have **finished the entire novel before our session**. I look forward to seeing you all. Take care, and have fun!

في خريف النبلاء يفتح لنا الكاتب سعود الشعلان نافذة على خريفٍ مررنا به جميعًا… تلك المرحلة التي تعيد تشكيل ملامح علاقاتنا، وتكشف لنا وجوهًا لم نكن نراها، وحقائق لم نكن جاهزين لها. هناك، حيث لا تعود السعادة شرطًا، بل يغدو الرضا هو النجاة الحقيقية. أربعة أشخاص، كلٌّ منهم كان طوقًا للآخر في فوضى الحياة… ورغم أن الطريق لم يكن جميلًا ولا سهلًا، إلا أنه كان مليئًا بما يستحق أن يُروى. الرواية لا تقدّم أحداثًا فقط، بل رحلة عميقة إلى داخلنا: إلى هشاشتنا، وإلى القوة التي نكتشفها حين نصل إلى خريفنا الخاص. 📍🔗 انضموا إلينا كونوا جزءًا من لقاء أدبي مختلف، نغوص فيه بين صفحات الرواية، ونفتح نقاشًا يلامس التجربة الإنسانية بكل تقلباتها. سجّل الآن وامنح نفسك فرصة لرؤية الرواية… وربما الحياة نفسها… من زاوية جديدة تمامًا

Coming in January 2026: a warm, reflective gathering to close one chapter and open another. More details coming soon. Together, we look back at the moments, shifts, and practices that shaped the past year—what worked, what surprised us, and what we’re ready to release. Then we lean forward into who we want to become: the intentions, experiments, and stories we want next January’s version of ourselves to be telling. A gentle, inspiring circle that invites clarity, connection, and shared wisdom.Check us out on Meetup to learn more and rsvp #womeninagilecolumbus #womeninagile
