Why build community around books & fitness?

For meaning—deep, surprising meaning.

For joy—shared, astounding joy.

For being—human being.

Because gratifying visceral experiences are an antidote to existential anxiety, loneliness, and brain rot.

Because the weight of a book in our hands, the feel of a breath in our lungs, and the knowledge that someone else cares awakens us to the wonderFULL phenomenon of life.

Because sometimes we need support to do things that brighten our lives…

to move, and be moved.
