🌿The Story Behind the Stories🌿
The Evergreen Mind (TEM) Book Club was born from a simple truth: an evergreen mind never stops growing.
Like a garden, the mind flourishes when it is tended and nurtured.
​
We gather to listen to stories that expand our minds, open our hearts, challenge our thinking, and deepen our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world we share. But more than that—we meet because we believe books have the power to change how we see, how we think, and how we live.
​
In a fast-moving world, we choose to pause and prioritize growth, reflection, and connection. We listen deeply. We create a safe and welcoming space for curiosity, humanity, discovery, and shared joy. Every Thursday, we explore some of the world’s most inspiring books—not just to read them, but to let them shape us, inspire us, and plant seeds for a better self and a better world.

As a TEMM (The Evergreen Mind Member), you are someone who cultivates a mindset forever in pursuit of knowledge and truth—open, curious, and committed to becoming your best self, for yourself and for the betterment of your community.
Forever learning. Forever weeding. Forever growing.

🌿 The Roots of TEM🌿
​
Our tenets. What grounds us. What drives us.
​​
Lifelong Pursuit of Knowledge & Growth
Like a garden, the mind must be tended, nurtured, and cleared of what no longer serves it. A mind cared for blooms in extraordinary ways—through every season, at every stage of life.
​
Curiosity & Truth
We ask questions, explore perspectives, and stay open to the wonder of the unknown. We value truth and the pursuit of knowledge. We question to uncover, to unlearn, and to rediscover both objective and personal truths.
​
Reflection & Self-Discovery
Books are our mirrors and windows. In a world where many feel misunderstood, lost, and unseen, books invite us to pause, process, and deepen our understanding—of ourselves, of others, and of the world we live in.
​
Wisdom & Philosophy
Books are the most patient of teachers. They show us not only what is—but what was, what matters, and what it means to live with intention. They reveal how others have journeyed through life and inspire us to define how we will walk our own—with unshakeable clarity and values.
​
Community & Connection
Growth is richer when shared. We read together to connect across stories, voices, and lived experiences—building a community rooted in empathy, honesty, listening, and mutual respect.
​
Imagination & Wonder
Books expand the edges of our imagination and reveal what’s possible beyond what we’ve known or believed. We believe stories awaken something sacred within us—a quiet spark, a clearer lens, a deeper dream. Through them, we imagine new realities and stretch the boundaries of what we believe is possible.
​
Diverse Perspectives
We honor and welcome difference. Every story, every voice, expands our understanding and brings us closer to a more complete and compassionate worldview.
