"Mens sana in corpore sano is the Latin saying that describes "a sound mind in a sound body." At Ste Anne's we believe the two go hand in hand, and so we offer you yoga, and meditation--but also, the Ste Anne's Book-of-the-Month Club. Once a month, Canadian prize-winning author Noah Richler, a regular CBC and Globe & Mail contributor, makes the journey to Ste. Anne's Spa to talk about and discuss a current book. He also writes an informative column about the book and posts it right here on the Ste Anne's Spa website.

In summer, beneath the garden tree in front of the dining room, and in winter, by the fireplace in the quiet Massey Living Room, you can take part in a relaxing and informal discussion of the monthly book or relax, close your eyes and listen to the readings. Feel free to ask questions over tea during or after the reading. All are welcome, the sessions are free--and remember, it's not necessary to have read the book to enjoy the talk.
