[HealthDharma] Turning Suffering Inside Out read along

[Kokuu]

Dear all

Now that the book club book of Zen Teachings in Challenging Times is drawing to a close, I intend to begin our read along of Darlene Cohen's Turning Suffering Inside out in two weeks time, on Monday 19 February 2024.

So, if you wish to join in with that, it would be great to have a copy of the book by then. In terms of accessibility options, there is sadly no audio version currently available but a Kindle version does exist which I believe could be used with text to speech or text enlargement.

We will read a chapter of the books each week (or part of a chapter depending on length) and I will post a brief summary of the section together with prompt questions, but feel free to discuss anything in the section that speaks to you, and how it resonates with your own experience.

I look forward to doing this together.

Hi Kokuu,

I’m very much looking forward to reading this book with like minded folks who experience chronic health conditions.

Thank you for putting all of this together, Brother

Gonna try to see if I can get it before the start date. If I can't can I still join when I do get it, just read up to where everyone else is at?

Also as a first time book club attendee where will the read along happen exactly?

The way we do it is actually by reading on our own and then posting our thoughts on thread. I have thought about having a Zoom group but typically finding a workable time for everyone is hard.

If that was something people really wanted (and I like that way of studying together) we could try it, though?

Oh alright that sounds great, and we post it here or on another thread?
Is there a certain time frame for each chapter to post?

There will be a new post for each week/chapter. There is no time frame to post although keeping up with weekly is good if you can. If people fall behind I often also have a rest week to allow for catching up.

I look forward to this book discussion, and am fortunate that I have the Kindle version (which in my experience has text that is easily adjusted for size, typeface, and readability).

Thank you, Kokuu.

How wonderful you are reading Darlene's book. I was fortunate to be a student of hers a few years before she passed, what a great teacher. I would love to join in on the reading of her book with you all.

Gassho,
Brett

[Kokuu]

That is so lovely you got to be Darlene's student, Brett. She seems like she was a very wise and pragmatic woman.

Please feel free to join in our reading of the book.
