Conversational Circles Revived

I heard about the revival of the most traditional of Transcendental conversations on Twitter.  Susan Bailey has an account and a website that mentions all things Louisa on a regular basis.

I got in touch with her and she put me in touch with the organizer.  He sent an email which contains the following description:

"In an attempt to generate interest, I have chosen a timely initial topic in terms of the renewed interest  in Little Women, and the revolution of change resulting from the surgence of women into the Congress. But it is not lost on me that the idea of conversation circles modeled after those of the 19th century  might seem quaint in the 21st. The spiritual kinship I feel with Alcott and Fuller and their Concord philosophical community motivates me to attempt a revival."

If you are interested in joining, let me know in the comments and I will send you the contact info.  I wasn't able to be in town for this month, but I hope to be able to report on the events in future.
