For the benefit of anyone who only started cchecking LJ/DW today, information is below the cut. If you've been following along, there is nothing new under the cut.
READ-A-THON FOR MINDFULNESS
THE CAUSE: I am holding a two-day read-a-thon to raise $2700 to attend "Japanese Approaches to Mindfulness," a 10-day study abroad in March staying at Shunkoin, a Zen temple in Kyoto, to study Zen, mindfulness, and Japanese concepts of psychology and mental illness. The abbott is active in the local LGBTQ community, and we will be meeting with LGBTQ activists as well a...s with practicing psychologists. I think this will benefit me professionally, and will also be helpful to my future clients. (I am studying to become a psychotherapist with a focus on survivors of trauma.) I will blog and take photos, for your enjoyment.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Please comment with an offer of an amount of money per book read and blogged. You may put a limit on the amount. ("I offer $15/book, with a maximum donation of $150.") In two days, I can probably read 6-10 books. If you sponsor me, you may propose a book for me to read. (Check tags by author.) You may also make a general proposal, like, "Something by Robert Heinlein/an Old West memoir/one of your childhood favorites."
If a book is too hard to obtain or if I've already reviewed it somewhere, I will ask for an alternate. Please don't propose anything extremely long or dense.
Please consider linking this post, to pull in more participants. If I have more sponsors than books I can read, I will give special consideration to larger donors and/or and/or prior participants whose books didn't get read and/or especially interesting nominations and/or hold a poll.
