πŸ“– Book Club : The Island by Aldous Huxley πŸ“–

πŸ“– New Book Club Read: Island by Aldous Huxley πŸ“–
Sunday, November 5th 2023 β€’ 12-2pm β€’ Members Only

To join the IN PERSON meeting on November 5th, become a member.

Earlier this year we read Huxley’s Brave New World. Having grown up at Esalen, I always knew that Island was based on some form of the community that was being fostered in Big Sur in the early 60’s. Now having read Brave New World, it seems as if perhaps Brave New World captured something of the fear of the future - like a cautionary tale - and maybe Island is the salve? I’m just not sure yet, but I’d love to discuss with you.

You can buy or listen to Island here.
