Let's dive right into what you can expect at this inaugural meeting:
Opening Activity: Discover Your Neglected Sense
We'll kick things off with a fun poll: Which sense do you think you might be lacking in? Take the 5 Senses Quiz prior so you're ready to share and spark some intriguing discussions.
Main Activity: A Multi-Sensory Journey Through the Book
Our engaging hosts, Jen O and Mya, will guide us through the book in a way that will make every page come to life! They'll even be on the lookout for the elusive "easter egg" Gretchen mentioned during a fireside chat. We'll explore each sense – smell, taste, sound, sight, and touch – and relate them to the seasons and climate. Ever wondered why you're drawn to certain things? We'll find out together!
Journaling Activity: Connect with Your Senses
We'll have a special exercise that ties in with the book's themes. Choose an aphorism that resonates with you and explore how it connects with your senses. It's a chance to dive deeper into the sensory experience of life.
Closing Reflection: The More We Know, The More We Notice
As we wrap up our discussion, we'll leave you with this aphorism: "The more we know, the more we notice." Keep the five senses you've neglected in mind throughout the week and incorporate them into your daily journaling. It's a wonderful way to marry the wisdom from the book with your Silk + Sonder journaling practice.Â
So, what do you say? Are you ready to embark on this sensational adventure with us? Join our virtual book club, and let's explore "Life in Five Senses" together. You won't want to miss out on the delightful conversations, journaling exercises, and the opportunity to connect with fellow book enthusiasts!
