Book & Trail Club - Sunnybrook Gardens

The Book & Trail Club is an opportunity for parents to come together in real life for some fresh air, fresh perspectives, and peer support.
About this Event

Each month, we will gather to meet one another, go for a screen-free guided walk followed by a coffee chat, and discuss our parenting journeys.

We choose a book to bring a theme forward for intentional conversations, but it's not necessary for participants to read the book or even pick it up if you don't have time!

That's what your Book & Trail Club hosts are for. We bring reflections about the book to share with parents who join us with curiosity and open hearts.

If parents want to dig deeper before or after the event, the books are easily accessible at local libraries in print, digital or audio formats, and are also available on popular apps such as Audible and Spotify.

June's Book of the Month

Playful
Cas Holman with Lydia Denworth

Playful draws on psychology, history, art, and design thinking to make a powerful case for the vital importance of play for grown-ups in a world obsessed with productivity. Provocative, wise, and full of spirit, it will inspire you to (re) learn how to play.

Holman shows us that adopting a playful mindset is crucial in helping us:

• Overcome fear of failure and embrace new ways of thinking
• Destress, reset, and connect with each other
• Grow our creativity at every stage of our lives
• Find joy in bleak times
