4th Friday Reading Group

Book for Discussion: The Last Child in the Woods, Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder, by Richard Louv. Featured book will be $12.55 (10% off) during the month of July.

In this technological world, our children are not growing up with the woods, rivers, windy days. They miss the chance to know themselves comfortably as earth beings, like chipmunks, bears, snakes and butterflies. Feeling a connection with animal beings and plant beings as we jointly experience these cycles and rhythms is more than poetic fantasy. Belonging in the world and being whole with it are integral to a balanced, healthy life. Some studies suggest a child’s experiencing of the wild is as necessary to healthy development as love, good food, and a good night’s sleep. What’s your opinion?

Instructor: Ruhiyyih, Barjon’s staff member

Date(s): July 27, Friday

Time: 7:00-8:00 pm

Fee: Free admission

Supplies: You need not have read the book to attend.
