Salons

Salon: A gathering of stimulating people under the roof of an inspiring hostess or host to increase their awareness through conversation and readings. A practice begun in 17th century France's literary and philosophical circles.

If you have a bookclub, women's club, fundraising organization, or better still, friends who'd want to gather to listen to a short reading and partake in open conversation about many of the issues of particular interest to women, please contact me for details of how to set one up. My favorite readings have become ones shared within the intimacy of a group of women. Please see the the Performances/Talks page for more about the various readings I do. To arrange for a Salon, or for more information, please contact Mary Lou Sanelli.
