Dear Internations,

Here is another event to discuss a new book. This time "The Spirit of Intimacy".

"The Spirit of Intimacy" by Sobonfu Somé is a profound exploration of African spirituality, relationships, and community. First published in Protected content , the book brings forth the wisdom of the Dagara people of Burkina Faso, providing insight into how intimacy is understood and fostered within a deeply spiritual and communal context. Somé offers readers a path toward healing, connection, and understanding in both romantic and community relationships, challenging modern, individualistic approaches to intimacy.

Through personal stories, rituals, and cultural teachings, The Spirit of Intimacy invites us to reflect on the role of community, spirituality, and ancient practices in fostering deep human connections. Somé shows that true intimacy transcends the private sphere and extends into a communal, spiritual dimension that is often overlooked in modern relationships.

Dear Internations,

here is the next meeting for November to discuss the book "The Prophet" by Khalil Gibran.

"The Prophet" by Khalil Gibran is a profound and poetic work first published in Protected content . The book is a philosophical and spiritual collection of 26 poetic essays, told through the words of the prophet Almustafa, who shares his wisdom with the people of the city of Orphalese before he embarks on his journey home. The work touches upon themes of love, marriage, children, work, freedom, pain, and joy, among others. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of human experience, and Gibran's lyrical style makes these reflections timeless and universally relatable.

The book is widely admired for its simplicity and depth, drawing from Gibran's rich spiritual background that blends elements of Christianity, Islam, and Eastern philosophies. Its enduring appeal lies in its emphasis on the unity of life’s experiences and the cyclical nature of human existence.

Some questions for the event:
How does Voltaire use the character of Zadig to critique the concept of fate and divine justice?

What role does irony and satire play in Voltaire’s portrayal of society, religion, and justice in "Zadig"?

How does his idea of happiness change by the end of the novella, and what does this evolution say about Voltaire’s view on the pursuit of a virtuous life?
