About the event
Join us for a dynamic and thoughtful book circle as we delve into Octavia E. Butler’s prophetic novels, Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. Set in a near-future America grappling with climate crisis, inequality, and societal collapse, this groundbreaking work explores resilience, transformation, and the power of belief through the lens of Lauren Olamina—a visionary young woman with a radical philosophy of change.
Through discussion, reflection, and collective inquiry, we’ll explore the novel’s core themes: community-building, survival, spirituality, and social justice. Whether you’re reading Butler for the first time or returning to her work with new eyes, this circle offers a space to connect, question, and imagine new futures together.
Please note: this is also Octavia Butler's Birthday, so we will be celebrating that as well.
