Groups

The Sun is not affiliated with any group, nor do we provide guidance or oversight. This service exists for the convenience of Sun readers who'd like to meet with others in their communities to discuss the magazine. All contact with group leaders should be Sun-related. No soliciting. Thanks for your cooperation.

Mendocino County

Jessica Lorraine

I'm interested in establishing a Sun discussion group. This could involve a combination of scenarios, such as: communicating via e-mail, starting an online readers/writers group, creating a blog about Sun articles, and possibly meeting monthly with other readers in Mendocino County, California. I’m open to suggestions and seek other Sun readers to volunteer for brainstorming! I live in the Willits-Brooktrails area.

Upland

Cindy Graber

I'd like to start a group in Upland for discussion of each new issue of The Sun. I am looking for a literary and philosophical discussion group as I am not a writer. It would also be a way to connect with like-minded thinkers.
