Embracing Sorrow as the Future Moving Into Us

Rilke Book Club coming soon

Hello there,

In my last email, I shared with you a video explaining why I’ve decided to start a Rilke Book Club. As promised, today I want to share with you one of my favorite passages from the book we’ll be diving into: Letters to a Young Poet. 

My intention in the video below is to give you a sense of what this book club will feel like. Anchored in Rilke’s letters, my hope is that, together, we reflect on several existential questions that accompany us in our day-to-day. 

Let me know in the comments sections how the selected passage resonated with you. Were you already familiar with it? What are your thoughts on the role of sorrow in our lives? What is your relationship to sadness?

Warmly,
Carlota 

P.S. Registration for the book club will open next Wednesday, September 11 at 9am WEST. If you feel called to join me, you can already mark the date on your calendar. I’ll also send a reminder to your email. There will only be 10 virtual spots available!
