About this event
Together, in community and amidst roses, let’s read Proust in the Morcom Rose Garden! Please bring any volume of In Search of Lost Time, which we will read silently and independently for one hour, followed by a short discussion and chat about the text or whatever else. **Where:** Morcom Rose Garden, Oakland, near the reflection pond (just look for a few people reading together) **When:** Thursdays from 5:30-6:30 PM **What to expect:** 45 minutes silent reading (5:30-6:15) together followed by a short chat. **What to Bring:** Any volume of *In Search of Lost Time*--and perhaps a bubbly water. :) **Who’s welcome:** If you are a lifelong reader of ISOLT, a literary scholar, a complete beginner, or someone who has never heard the name Marcel Proust, you are welcome! This Meetup is one of many attentional “sanctuary spaces” of the **Strother School of Radical Attention (SORA)**–spaces of attention activism that provide shelter and nourishment for attentional capacities.
