Building a Community Around Mindful Reading

In today’s fast-paced world, finding moments of peace and tranquility can be a challenge. That's where the practice of mindful reading comes in. This unique approach not only allows us to immerse ourselves in the written word but also helps us to slow down, be present, and ultimately, find a sense of calm in the midst of our busy lives.

At The Cat's Quill Imprint, based in Ottawa, Ontario, the founder, Cathrine Barre, has curated a collection of books that focus on mindfulness and wellness for both adults and children. The selection includes a variety of genres, from poetry to fiction, all with the common thread of promoting mindfulness and self-care. But The Cat's Quill Imprint is more than just a bookstore - it's a community. The business aims to bring together like-minded individuals who share a love for reading and a desire to live a more mindful life. Through book clubs, workshops, and other events, readers have the opportunity to connect with one another, share their insights, and learn from each other's experiences. As parents, fostering a love for reading and mindfulness in our children is a gift that will last a lifetime. The Cat's Quill Imprint also offers a selection of children's books and educational resources, including worksheets and activity guides, to help parents and educators introduce mindfulness to young readers in a fun and engaging way. Building a community around mindful reading not only allows us to deepen our understanding of the books we read but also provides us with a support system of like-minded individuals who share our values and goals. Whether you're looking to expand your reading list, connect with others, or simply find a moment of peace in your day, The Cat's Quill Imprint is a welcoming space where mindfulness and literature intersect. So why not join us on this journey of self-discovery and connection through the power of mindful reading? Come explore our collection, attend an event, and be a part of our thriving community of readers who are passionate about living mindfully and intentionally.
