BOOK CLUB - Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve

Dear Alumni and Therapist friends,

 I truly miss getting together – taking off our masks literally and figuratively! So I propose getting together on-line for a special on-line group.  This would be a six-week once a week book discussion group.

Here’s the plan:

We will meet for about an hour and half each week – 7:00-8:30 p.m (Central time) on six consecutive Wednesdays. The book we will discuss is Stanley Rosenberg’s “Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve.”

It would require reading 30-60 pages a week, depending on the week – in any case, less than 10 pages a day. Some of it’s pretty dense. But it’s intriguing and I think we’ll all benefit from reading, discussing ideas and inspirations that may arise from the reading, our discussions and enjoying our interactions.

It’d be an on-line group – limited to 20 people max. I must say I do appreciate the advantage of the on-line format where we can see each other’s faces, have people from various locations around the U.S. and world, and have the opportunity for some collective effervescence and inspiration.

I have printed some ground rules below. You would need to agree to those. It would be free, but would require your completing all the reading before each meeting, your attendance and agreement to the ground rules.  If you are interested Just send me an email with a little bio of yourself and assent to the ground rules. Then I’ll send a response by the end of August.

Email me at hello@david-lauterstein.com before August 25th.

 With Highest Regards,

 David Lauterstein

 
Ground Rules for Book Discussion Group –

1.  You agree to do the reading for each week.

 2.  You agree to attend all sessions (obviously one might miss one, but it’d be ideal not to). 

3.  When on-line, you will respect the time you take and encourage others’ participation. Sometimes groups will have some people talk a lot and others not at all.  I encourage everyone to participate and to allow time and respect for each person in the group.

4.  You will, in addition to the reading, choose to try out each week at least one exercise from Part Two, p. 185-219. 

5. The pages to be read before each meeting:

1. before the first 9/15 meeting – the opening pages and p. 1-27

2. before 9/22 – p. 29-86

3. before 9/29 – p. 87-129

4. before 10/6 – p. 131-161

5. before 10/13 – p. 163-219

6. before 10/20 – read Appendix, review any early pages you please and explore some Part Two exercises p. 185-219 

If these ground rules are fine with you, then confirm your interest in participating –
