Youā€™re still welcome to participate if you havenā€™t done the readings as long as you are mindful. For each chapter\, Iā€™ve also noted some optional readings for context\, so Iā€™d suggest checking those out rather than reading ahead in the book. And remember\, if you ever find yourself struggling with any of the readings or concepts\, reach out! Either directly to me over email or to the entire group over discord.
