BookThe Lykion Book Club selection for February is “Unbinding the Heart: A Dose of Greek Wisdom, Generosity and Unconditional Love” by Agapi Stassinopoulos. We will meet for discussion on Sunday, February 8th at a private residence. Please Contact Barbara Gillies Kiriazis to RSVP, and to receive further details and directions.

“In 32 personal, heartfelt stories full of insight and humor, Agapi takes us from her mother’s bountiful kitchen, where the seeds of fearless living were planted, to the London classical stage, to an epiphany on a New York City bus—and inspires us with the confidence to let go of the beliefs that bind us and come to a deeper understanding of life and love.”

In Unbinding the Heart, author, speaker, and Huffington Post regular Agapi Stassinopoulos invites readers on an inspiring journey of inner exploration to reconnect with their true selves.
