There\, on the shores of Lake Akanabee\, she discovers the spectacular jewelled pendant that will lead her to a long-buried family secret . . . \nHaunting\, moving and beautifully written\, The Secret Wife effortlessly crosses centuries\, as past merges with present in an unforgettable story of love\, loss and resilience.  \nThe exact zoom address will be announced when it’s ready. \nNote: BC events are exclusively for SIWA members.

SUMMARY:Korean Heritage Tour in Seongbuk-dong
DESCRIPTION:Explore some of the highlights of Korean Heritage in Seongbuk-dong\, where you will get a chance to visit Gilsangsa Temple\, one of the oldest ones in Korea and the Korean Stone Art Museum. After learning about Korean history and culture\, you can also enjoy a tasty traditional lunch together with your SIWA friends. \nGilsangsa Temple has a fascinating history\, as once it was one of the foremost yojeongs (courtesan houses)\, where powerful men visited and used to convene businesses behind the scenes. The temple is named after the woman who donated the buildings\, a gisaeng (a highly-trained female entertainer and courtesan) named Kim Yeong-han\, who had a change of heart after reading “Non-Possession” by Venerable Beopjeong Sunim. The monk initially denied her request but\, in 1995\, decided to turn the buildings into a temple. As a result\, the temple has a very unusual atmosphere because it kept many of its original features. The temple is highly regarded for its involvement in cultural exchanges with other religions and programs to help visitors experience Buddhism. Its light and shade\, hills and valleys combine in perfect harmony here. \nhttps://www.theseoulguide.com/gilsangsa-temple/ \nAddress: 68\, Seonjam-ro 5-gil\, Seongbuk-gu \n  \nKorean Stone Art Museum is a good starting place to learn about Korean stone sculptures and what the stone sculptures were used for. The museum was founded by a successful businessman (also the museum’s Chairman) who is nationalistic and determined to keep Korean stone sculptures. Some of the collections are national assets taken out of the country. He even managed to buy back some from overseas collectors and bring them back home. The founder’s mission was to introduce the aesthetic beauty and significant cultural values of old Korean stone sculptures. This museum relocated from the old one to Seongbuk-dong\, surrounded by a beautiful Bugaksan Mountain and the Seoul City Wall. The exhibition includes ancient-stone artifacts\, traditional embroideries\, and modern Korean paintings. \nhttp://www.koreanstonemuseum.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=pe_b01_01 \nhttp://www.koreanheritage.kr/inside/view.jsp?articleNo=35 \nAddress: 66\, Daesagwan-ro 13-gil\, Seongbuk-gu \n  \nEvent host: Bockhee Lee\, SIWA’s Cultural Connections Committee Chair \nbockheelee2012@gmail.com \n  \nVenue: Gilsangsa Temple & Korean Stone Art Museum \nMeeting point: We will meet in front of Hansung University Station (Exit 6) at 9:40 am.  \n(transportation: Please take subway line number 4 to Hansung University Station and walk out to Exit 6)

SUMMARY:Book Club: "I am Malala" by Malala Yousafzai
DESCRIPTION:A MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE \nAs seen on Netflix with David Letterman\n“I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday.” \nWhen the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan\, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. \nOn Tuesday\, October 9\, 2012\, when she was fifteen\, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school\, and few expected her to survive. \nInstead\, Malala’s miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen\, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize. \nI AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism\, of the fight for girls’ education\, of a father who\, himself a school owner\, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school\, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. \nI AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person’s voice to inspire change in the world. \n  \nThe exact zoom address will be announced when it’s ready. \nNote: BC events are exclusively for SIWA members.
