Upcoming PDX Events
Overleaf events are book-centered gatherings in Portland and surrounding areas designed for thoughtful conversation and connection. Each event pairs guided discussion with a setting or shared activity that brings a book’s themes to life. More accessible than our retreats, events offer a way to linger with a story without the commitment of a full weekend away.
The Chronology of Water: Discussion & Film Viewing
We’ll meet to discuss The Chronology of Water by Lidia Yuknavitch followed by the film adaptation viewing at Tomorrow Theater.
The Emperor of Gladness: Food Bank Volunteering
We’ll sort food together @ Oregon Food Bank, then gather to discuss The Emperor of Gladness, the meaning of care in ordinary work, and other themes in Ocean Vuong’s novel.
Serviceberry: Reciprocity, Renewal, & Craft
A spring equinox–inspired gathering to discuss The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmere, reflect on reciprocity and abundance, and mark the season with a simple herbal craft.
