Events at the Inkwell

While the Inkwell undergoes renovations at its new location (445 Main Street), the local clubs will be hosted elsewhere.  Please contact the club leaders for updates.  We will be having our grand re-opening in April, and the clubs will resume at that time.

Laughter Yoga
Facilitated by Clare Goodwin
Laughter Yoga is non-political, non-religious, and non-competitive. We laugh for better health, joy and world peace. Attendance is free, and sessions are held Monday mornings in the Inkwell event room. No sessions on holidays that fall on a Monday. Goodwin, a certified Laughter Yoga leader and psychotherapist, explains that, “Laughter Yoga is a physically oriented technique, not a mental practice.” Laughter Yoga is a worldwide social movement.

Not the Bestseller Book Club
The Well and the Mine
By Gin Phillips
Public welcome. Our book club was established for two reasons: first to give us (Inkwellians) an excuse to talk to one another about books, and second to highlight lesser known gems that won't appear on bestseller lists. Michelle and Kathleen welcome all readers to join our conversations about books. We’ll be meeting monthly at the Inkwell, and complimentary refreshments will be served.
A novel of warmth and true feeling, The Well and the Mine explores the value of community, charity, family, and hope that we can give each other during a time of hardship.
In a small Alabama coal-mining town during the summer of 1931, nine-year-old Tess Moore sits on her back porch and watches a woman toss a baby into her family’s well without a word. This shocking act of violence sets in motion a chain of events that forces Tess and her older sister Virgie to look beyond their own door and learn the value of kindness and lending a helping hand. As Tess and Virgie try to solve the mystery of the well, an accident puts their seven-year-old brother’s life in danger, forcing the Moore family to come to a new understanding of the power of love and compassion.

Science Fiction Reading Group
Consider Phlebas
By Iain M. Banks
 
The SF Reading Group has been thriving for over 11 years, and we read a wide variety of both classic and cutting edge science fiction. New members are always welcome.

"Dazzlingly original." - Daily Mail
"Gripping, touching and funny." - TLS
The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender.

Classics Book Club
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
By Mark Twain
Anyone is welcome to join. Meetings are held at the Inkwell. Betsy Doud, a retired English teacher, moderates the friendly and entertaining club. This classic story of a homeless waif is world-renowned for being much more than a charming tale of boyhood adventures! As Huck and runaway slave Jim make their way down the mighty Mississippi, Huck is forced to ponder the nature of friendship and to find a sense of his own moral vision.
