Virtual Book Club
The Freebirth Sisters Online Book Club
Reading is one of my greatest passions. I believe that books are a cornerstone for growth. New ideas and perspectives create opportunities for us to be challenged and inspired, to find new ways of expressing ourselves and relating to the world around us.
I have had books answer questions I didn’t even know I had, inspire me to change and to become a more open minded person. My intention for this group is to choose books designed for growth and to tackle challenging subjects from the perspectives of being women. I have used the topics in our monthly women’s circles to help guide my choice of books for each cycle.
We have a fall, winter and spring book planned. We will meet online through zoom once a month. I love a good discussion around a book! Everyone has a different takeaway and perspective when they read a book based on their own experience of life. I think it adds so much richness to be able to discuss our different opinions about what we read.

FAll READ:
More Than A Body by Lindsay Kite & Lexie Kite
"More Than a Body is a welcome salve for those who are weary of the internal war with their body. Through their groundbreaking body image resilience model, Lexie and Lindsay offer many practical ways to make peace with your body, showing how body image disruptions can be a pathway for healing, rather than provoke a descent into a shame spiral.”
Winter READ:
The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership by Jim Dethmer, Diana Chapman & Kaley Warner Klemp
“The premise of this book is simple, every day as leaders, and as humans, we operate either “above the line” or “below the line.” Over the course of the 15 commitments, the authors outline how we can make more conscious and intentional choices and be “above the line” or take a reactive, protective or instinctual approach and remain “below the line.” This book will likely radically challenge your conventions about how you lead and work with others; it is truly about leadership on another level. Not for the faint of heart, The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership requires you to be curious, courageous, and vulnerable enough to explore what elements of your own ego might be getting in the way of showing up in the best way for yourself and those around you. The benefit, however, is a tremendous new set of tools and ways of thinking to immediately apply.”
Spring Read:
Sacred Economics by Charles Eisenstein
Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth.
