This event is LIVE and FREE. All registered participants will receive the RECORDING.

An informal monthly get-together to discuss books of significance for the Pari Center community.

After the Bible and then the Kuran, de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince ranks as the third most read book in the whole world! What has made this short little children’s book have such popularity with both children and adults even eighty years after publication? Join Beth Macy to refresh the story of The Little Prince, to view some of de Saint-Exupéry’s original artwork that graces the book’s pages, to hear stories about Saint-Exupery’s own life, and to delve into that question of what has been the underlying essence of this story that has kept it vibrant for generations of readers and likely for you as well.

The common thread weaving through Beth’s career has been change, having been a manager, leader, consultant or participant in organizations experiencing difficult issues: organizations from small to large, private to public, non-profit to profit, health care to manufacturing, local to global. David Bohm’s dialogue and Carl Jung’s psychology been core to her research, writing and consulting and teaching for nearly three decades. Living in the USA (Texas) she is completing a book on the ideas and individuals who influenced Bohm’s process of dialogue. And beyond that, Beth is a big fan of de Saint-Exupéry’s writing, especially Le Petit Prince.
