Hi there,
I’m delighted to announce that enrollment for the Rilke Book Club is now officially open! Over the course of 7 weeks, we’ll gather each Sunday to, together, unpack Rilke’s timeless wisdom and put it in conversation with our lives.
Important: If you sign-up within the next 7 days—by Wednesday, September 18—you can enjoy an Early Bird discount.
Some practical information in case you’re feeling called to join me:
☀️ To ensure a warm and intimate vibe, the group will be limited to just ten participants.
☀️ Sessions will take place every Sunday from September 29 to November 10, between 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM WEST (Lisbon time) / 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM EDT (Atlanta time).
☀️ Our text of focus will be Letters to a Young Poet.
☀️ Each week, we’ll explore and discuss one or two of Rilke’s letters, reflecting on how their insights align (or not) with our personal experiences. Themes will range from solitude and love, to nature, art and spirituality.
☀️ What’s included: 7 live Zoom sessions, weekly invitations for deeper engagement with the letters, access to recordings of each session, and access to a Whatsapp group.
☀️ We'll also be joined by special guests, each offering their own distinct wisdom. Among them is
a brilliant writer and author of the newsletter.One last thing: If you're already a paid subscriber to Waking Youth, or decide to become one by clicking the button below, you can join the book club at a 50% discount.
