Upcoming meetings:
Sunday September 26 1:30-2:30 'The Grey Havens'
Saturday October 2: 1:00-2:30 'Appendix A'
No meeting on October 9
The JRR Tolkien Discussion Group is intended to raise awareness of the literary works of JRR Tolkien. The stories he wrote are truly legendary. The themes within them of eco-spirituality, of escapism, and of hope all apply today, especially in our rapidly changing chaotic world. Anyone interested in discussing his views on spirituality, storytelling, and fantasy are welcome to attend. We have informal online discussions on Zoom on Saturday afternoons from 1-2:30 pm to discuss how his works and messages play a role in our daily lives and experiences.
We have been meeting since April of 2019. We started by reading Tolkien’s ‘On Fairy Stories’, an essay that presents his views on story telling and fantasy. We then discussed ‘The Hobbit’. We are now in ‘The Lord of the Rings' which we have been discussing over the past year (it is a long book!). We are currently approaching the end of the novel.
Please see the banner above for the date and time for the next meeting.
Since March 2020, meetings are taking place online. Contact Shawn McKenzie at mckenzieshawn7@gmail.com for more information.
