Join the Resilient Nurturer Book Club
A Year-Long Journey of Stories and Stitches
Are you ready to combine your love of books and creativity in a one-of-a-kind global community? The Resilient Nurturer Book Club, led by Amy Milliron, invites you to embark on a transformative year-long journey of storytelling, connection, and craft.
📚 What is the Resilient Nurturer Book Club?
This isn’t your typical book club. Each month, a new book will inspire deep conversations and spark creativity. At the heart of our club is a unique project: a collaborative crochet challenge. After diving into each month’s book, you’ll design a crochet square that represents its themes, characters, or emotions. By the end of the year, you’ll join your 12 squares into a stunning, meaningful throw blanket—a personal tapestry of stories and stitches.
🎉 January’s Book: The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer
We’re kicking off 2025 with a beautiful and thought-provoking read: The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Known for her lyrical and insightful writing, Kimmerer explores the themes of reciprocity, generosity, and abundance in this inspiring work.
For audiobook lovers, you’re in for a treat—Robin Wall Kimmerer herself narrates the audiobook, adding a deeply personal touch to her words.
📅 First Zoom Meeting
Date: Friday, January 31, 2025
Time: 11 AM CST
Location: Zoom (link provided upon registration)
We’ll gather to discuss the book, share insights, and celebrate the progress you’ve made on your crochet square.
