A Matryoshka doll or a nested/nesting doll is a Russian doll or toy which features a set of dolls in decreasing sizes nested within one another. I chose this name for the group because I believe everyone is complex and has many layers to their personality and discussion can be a tool to explore the many facets that exist in others, thus creating true intimacy and camaraderie. I feel that is missing today. The Nested Doll is a group for those who really enjoy great conversation and deep and ho …

A story that’s so good, it makes you want to do something about it. Who’s up for a book club that’s one part reading, one part discussion, and one part action? Let’s read Bukowski one month and hold our discussion in the central library that Bukowski fr …
