Read deeply, sip slowly.
A CUP OF TAO BOOK CLUB.

Discover the magic of everyday novels, and explore Taoist wisdom in a completely new way. This isn’t just a book club; it’s a meditative journey that blends reading, reflection, and philosophy with everyday life.

How It Works

• Read 6 novels a year: Books you would pick up anyway (or books you would never pick up normally), now enriched with Taoist insights and life lessons

• Online gatherings every other month: Join a 2-hour Zoom session where we’ll explore the book together, including:

  • A one hour lecture connecting Taoist philosophy to the story

  • A 15 minute meditation connected to the theme/story of the session

  • Free talk, sharing, discussions, or just listening and sitting in silence

• Effortless reading: Suggested pace is ~15 minutes per day, with journal prompts to deepen your reflection. About 3 weeks after we being a new book, some inquiries will be sent out, with connection to Tao Te Ching chapters (related to topics in the book)

• Meeting language: Live sessions are in English

• Meeting time: Live sessions take place every second month on Saturdays from 10:00–12:00 am Stockholm time (Central European Time). The recording will be sent after the session, so everyone who cannot join live, will receive the recording.
  So all time zones are welcome to join!
  At the moment we have people joining from USA, Ireland, UK, Poland, and Sweden.

• Flexible Reading: Read in English or your preferred language

• Audiobooks are welcome, but I encourage holding a real book and sitting with it to fully enjoy the meditative experience
