Indic Book Reading Sessions

Indica Chicago is delighted to announce the launch of Indic Book Reading Sessions on a quarterly basis to further Indic Academy’s goals in promoting awareness about Indic heritage. The purpose behind these sessions is to provoke interest in Indic actions. The sessions will leverage books and writings by global Indic intellectuals and unpack some of the scholarships about Indic Heritage. In order to further interest, book references & links to curated materials online (articles, video sessions) will be shared with participants at the end of every session.
