Shalane Carter and MaKenzie Fly are avid readers. In the height of the pandemic of 2020, both were teaching at the same yoga studio and themselves talking about how they craved for more... They wished they had a community where they could have deep conversations about the universe and the meaning of life… ya know more than the polite chit chat about the weather.

That desire inspired them to start a book club called “Good Reads and Good Deeds” where they read yogic philosophy, self help, and metaphysical books. The reading was always paired with a charity and the group would either donate time, money, or energy. They loved creating a space for community, connection, and karma, but still… wanted more.
