About
📚🌿 2nd Annual Books & Hammocks
Read. Connect. Reflect. Build.
18+ Experience
Books & Hammocks is back for its 2nd Annual experience, bringing together entrepreneurs, leaders, business owners, creatives, professionals, and community builders for meaningful conversations, intentional connections, and real-world growth.
This year, we’re taking the conversation beyond the pages and into the community as we explore We Is Greater Than Me by Eric Thomas — a powerful reminder that meaningful growth doesn’t happen in isolation.
Throughout the experience, we’ll unpack what it means to move beyond doing everything alone and learn how to build through collaboration, relationships, networking, leadership, personal development, resources, and strong teams.
📖 THE BOOK
Our featured book is:
We Is Greater Than Me — Eric Thomas
You don’t have to have all the answers or have everything figured out. Come ready to read, reflect, share your perspective, ask questions, exchange resources, and connect with people who are building something of their own.
