Chatham Community Library is offering a six week forum designed to deepen our reflection and personal understanding. Each session will consist of a short reading, followed by 15-20 minutes of silent meditation/contemplation, and close with a few moments for shared insights. The readings will draw from the writings of some of the world’s most profound thinkers. We will start with a reading from HD Thoreau’s Walden. Jeshua Pacifici will host the forum.

Each session will start at 5:30pm and conclude at 6:15pm.
6:45-8pm Go Set a Watchman Discussion- Pete Mock of McIntyre’s books in Fearrington Village will moderate a discussion of Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman. The book’s release has sparked a great deal of controversy.. Should it have been published? Does the book undermine the message of Lee’s beloved To Kill a Mockingbird? There’s much to talk about!
