​ If the Buddha Dated, by Charlotte Kasl, Ph.D. is a book about how to walk through your dating life like it's a spiritual path (it is!).  It inspires many on their dating paths, but the question is - how do we integrate these complex concepts into our daily lives (dating lives in particular)? How do we balance learning, nourishing ourselves, and surrender to the process with tangible support and action steps?

If the Buddha Dated Book Club is an 8 week group focused on mindfulness and dating.  It is a therapeutic book club designed to support you in realizing your dating goals. We will set dating intentions, and create action steps each week related to our intentions.  

Group discussion will be guided by themes and topics brought up by participants in response to the book and their own lives.
