The Joys & Challenges of Aging Book Club with Carrie Waller

 

Bloom’s book club is back. The book club, facilitated by Carrie Waller, focuses on the joys and challenges of aging. It meets six times over the course of one year (once every other month) and features six books covering a variety of aging-related topics. You can view the first three books in the series below.

 

Each two-hour session starts with a gentle yoga practice, transitions to a group discussion, and closes with a short meditation. These sessions enable participants to build connections with others in the Bloom community who share similar interests.

The Signal Fires, by Dani Shapiro

Signal Fires is a beautiful exploration of the connections between families and the reverberations of family secrets. The author, Dani Shapiro, helps readers imagine how each of the characters’ lives might have gone if things had turned out differently; and in turn, helps readers consider the same about their own lives. Shapiro also teases out the notion that maybe time does not happen chronologically but that our life’s events and memories are unfolding together - all around us, all at once, all the time. A thought-provoking book.

Long Life and Other Essays, Mary Oliver

If you enjoy Mary Oliver’s poetry, you will probably enjoy her prose. In this book, Oliver offers “little alleluias” to the bounties of nature, animals, the soul, place, and literature. She also includes some thoughtful essays on William Wordsworth, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. It’s a beautiful, inspirational, uplifting piece of literature.
