Portland

[close] We're a collective of eco-conscious readers and activists based in Portland, OR. Here, passionate readers and activists unite to explore the depths of climate literature and inspire each other towards mindful, impactful living. We delve into books and media that open our eyes to the realities of climate change, brainstorm actionable steps to make a difference, and nurture a community that celebrates the joy of living harmoniously with nature. EcoCircle gatherings aren’t just about reading; we’re about transforming ideas into real-world actions and community engagement. We offer a supportive space to process the emotions like eco-grief and climate anxiety that come with this important work. Here, we listen, learn, and grow together, rallying around nature and uplifting each other as we work towards a greener, more sustainable future. Everyone’s journey is unique and valued, and we’re committed to making a tangible impact on our planet’s health.

[close] The greater Pacific Northwest is home to Ursula K. Le Guin, Kay Kenyon, Jay Lake, Nancy Kress, Brent Weeks, Ted Chiang and Ramona Quimby. Although Ramona isn’t known for her Science Fiction and Fantasy escapades, the rest are, and will be celebrated as part of the Pacific Northwest Reading Series. These free quarterly events provide the Northwest Science Fiction and Fantasy community a chance to gather, network and enjoy readings from local and visiting authors in Portland and Seattle. Each event features three authors who read from their latest work, interpreting and explaining their concepts and vision. In addition, space is provided for networking and conversation. Booksellers from Wrigley-Cross Books (Portland) and the University Bookstore (Seattle) will be on hand with copies of the authors’ and other books for you to buy.
