Silent Book Club @THP South
Therapists and Life Coaches say that most people neglect these 4 areas of their lives: social connections, paperwork, reading, and exercise.
The Silent Book Club is the dream book club you always wanted (therapist approved!): you read your own book, you meet people and talk about reading, and enjoy a free mocktail! We like to call it our Introvert Happy Hour.
And we'll make those therapists and life coaches happy, too: check socializing and reading off your to do list.
