Reading Assignments

Reading assignments are in 2 sections:

-Book-a-Month schedule (below)
-Articles posted in the ‘Month by Month’ links

Books can be purchased either new or used in a variety of ways, or through a public library. Some of them, like the Arts of Contemplative Care, are now out of print. They are more easily available on digital formats like Kindle or Everand. If it is not possible for you to obtain all of these books, do let us know and we can provide photocopies of the suggested reading chapters.
