Gatherings
Double check details before you go, and contact the organizers with questions! The Joy List does not run these events.
Tuesday, February 25: Reading Rhythms, Prospect Heights Chapter
Reading Rhythms is a series of welcoming reading parties designed to make it easy for people to gather and read socially. We invite you to bring any book you want and facilitate silent reading periods, as well as 1-on-1 breakouts, and group discussions to pull on the threads of the books that everyone is engaging with.
In a world that can often feel devoid of interest and meaningful connection, we bring readers together to reconnect with our love of learning, to experience the wonder of beautiful venues and curated music, and to gather amongst all of the people who want to be in that very same room.
$20. 6:45 to 9:15 PM. Farm One. Info here.
Tuesday, February 25: Stepping Into The Circle

Othership Promo Codes Galore
Jillian, The Joy List founder, here. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I have recently become obsessed with spas. And of course, that means I occasionally go to Othership— a social sauna with guided sweats and cold plunges.
I really like the experience, so I asked their team to hook y’all up with promos. (And selfishly, I get to go for free if you use them.) Behold:
Get two classes for the price of one if you haven’t been before
Use my code JILLIANRICHARDSON for 11% off any of their packages, from a single class to 50 packs. I recommend their intro package— 2 weeks of daily sauna time for only $120. Since one session is $64, that is a STEAL.
If you don’t want to spend any money but do need a mindful moment— who doesn’t these days— use this link for a free month of their breathwork app. I legitimately recommend it, and use it all the time.
