Julia Baird’s new book Phosphorescence is the text for our current dark times. Written before the current coronavirus crisis, it is a beautiful, intimate and inspiring investigation into how we can find and nurture within ourselves that essential quality of internal happiness, our own inner, living light to ward off the darkness.
Julia Baird's book on how to cope with tough times could not have been more prescient… Even without a global health pandemic to ground it, it is a stunning book. The Guardian
A virtual conversation
​The conversation will take place online via the Zoom videoconferencing app. When you have registered, you will receive a confirmation email. On the day of the event, you will receive a second email with a link to allow you into the event on Zoom.  Note that you don’t need to download Zoom in advance as it can be downloaded when you click on the event link which you will be sent on the day of the event. However we recommend downloading it in advance of the event if you haven’t already used it to avoid any difficulties on the day. ​

Ordering the book
Better Read than Dead, RSWWF’s bookseller, will send you the book postage-free. Order from their website
