July Books and Bevvies
Sat, Jul 18, 2:00 AMWelcome to **Books & Bevvies** — a casual book swap and drinks social in the Sydney CBD. This is not a book club with homework. It’s a simple, low-key way to meet people, chat about what you’ve been reading, and walk out with something new. **HOW IT WORKS** Bring a book you’re happy to part with. Pop it on the swap table when you arrive. Mingle, chat, and swap recommendations. When the swap opens, take a book that catches your eye. Stay for a drink and a conversation after. **WHAT TO BRING** One book, any genre and any reading level. **GOOD TO KNOW** The venue relies on accurate numbers for staffing, so if you can’t make it, please change your RSVP to “not going”. Repeated no-shows may result in removal from the group. The venue is kindly not enforcing a minimum spend, but please support them by buying a drink, soft drink, or some lunch during the swap if you can. There is no mandatory entry fee, but voluntary contributions are **very much** appreciated. The group costs around **$65 a month to keep running**, so if you enjoy the swap and are in a position to chip in, even $5 or $10 makes a real difference. I’ll have a jar near the sign-in list on the day. Please feel free to contribute at any stage through the swap. **WHERE WE’LL BE** We’ll be in the Market Street Garden Bar, with a table full of books and bevvies.

Cloud of Unknowing (14th century)
Mon, Jul 13, 9:00 AM*'For when I sey derknes, I mene a lackyng of knowyng; as alle that thing that thou knowest not, or elles that thou hast forgetyn, it is derk to thee, for thou seest it not with thi goostly ighe. And for this skile it is not clepid a cloude of the eire, bot a cloude of unknowyng, that is bitwix thee and thi God.'* Otherwise known as *The Cloude of Unknowyng* in the original Middle English, back in our salad days when you could spell words however you wanted and nobody would be upset if you didn't bathe much. The 14th century had a lot going for it - for example, ignorance! This is pre-Enlightenment, pre-Renaissance, a classic Dark Age if there ever was one, and this text is all about the value and virtue of Forgetting and Unknowing. To know without thinking, to enter a higher state of Being through love and without understanding. It all sounds very abstract, but mysticism is all about personal experience and requires essentially no prior knowledge other than your lived experience. An exploration of the Christian mystic tradition, we will not be reading this book as theology - whether you follow Christ, the Buddha, Krishna, Ricky Gervais or Haile Selassie as your god, all are welcome - we will not be attempting to preach or convert anyone to a particular way of thinking. What does an obscure text intended for medieval monks have to say for the contemporary troubled soul? You might be surprised how much these ideas resemble what is so frequently packaged and commercialised in mindfulness apps. What does it mean to be a 'mystic' in the age of AI? To have a private, intimate relationship with God - how can I show this off on Instagram? Lots of free translations, as well as the Olde Middle Englyishe texte, are available free online, but you might fare best with the accessible translation by AC Spearing, with regular spelling and without all the Thees and Thous - message me for a copy.

22nd July - Brothers and Sisters
Wed, Jul 22, 9:00 AMThe theme this month is songs made popular by groups that consisted of brothers and sisters. There is a huge list on Wiki here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sibling_groups The idea is you need to have a "brother or sister" to sing with you. So we should pick our songs, and then collaborate with another member of the group. It is relatively easy to send messages to group members through Meetup. If you get stuck, then I am happy to be a brother, and perhaps even a sister (I have a wig!!!), and I know that Pat and Hiromi are able to help. Perhaps the best way to approach getting a partner is to select a song or two, put them in the discussion here, and call for a brother or sister to help. As per last month, if you can find the song you have in mind on Jim's Songbook, that would be great. But I do have time to make new ones this month. https://ozbcoz.com/Songs/ Have your songs to me EARLY or risk missing out. If we fill the roster before then, it will be closed. Each group should be able to do two or three songs. We can have groups with 2, 3 or even four members.
